Another great article, Steve. I've been deep diving into Reticulum networking. Totally non-IP but a very interesting protocol that can be used on any channel that has at least 500 baud throughput. https://reticulum.network -Joe w7com
Joe - Reticulum looks like one of those systems that really require a deep dive. Please report back and I'd be happy to run an article about it with full attribution to you. My usual Reticulum informant just drops little teasers to me.
Will do. I'm waiting on two meshtashic boards to start with, as that seems the simple route. After that I'll try something with the AIOCs I just got from NA6D. I think I have enough Pi laying about already.
The lead was such a tease! Looking for the content of those important conversations! (Disclosure, I edit a club newsletter, and that content would be a welcome addition -- if you are OK with your work being shared (with attribution, of course.
I promised myself I wasn't going to comment every week, but here we are. I've been using ChatGPT's monthly subscription version for about a year since discovering that it can write python code. While it is far easier than writing from scratch there's still a learning curve. You still need to figure out how to make it to write a good "hello world" before diving into more advanced stuff. And you must audit and review for errors, although the latest engines are far better than the 4.0 engine. You also still need to know what libraries it is using too. I had it write some MIDI code for an iambic key using a RP2040W chip. Turns out there's no wireless MIDI (AKA Apple MIDI) library available for the RP2040W, but it just went along churning out completely worthless code.
Eric - I figured it couldn't be quite that easy, though I think we're in for another "Moore's Law" period when capabilities just keep getting better as time passes.
We've recently made web based decoders for horus (4fsk 100 baud) and wenet (2fsk 115117 baud) over a https://horus.sondehub.org. This might be related to your interests as it shows that you can lower the entry requirements to playing with digital data on amateur radio. Even works on mobile phones.

Christian - Curious what you considered a tease? You're covered - see https://www.zeroretries.org/p/zero-retries-0192?open=false#§permission-for-reuse-of-zero-retries-content.

The important thing is that it is getting better.

Michaela - Thanks for mentioning this! I'll mention it in Zero Retries 0194.
