A collection of helpful tools for Meshtastic

KV5R’s Coax Loss Calculator

Link | If you know your coax type, you can use this calculator to calculate losses. Make sure you enter the correct frequency (906mhz if in the US/North America) and the correct power levels (likely .25 or 250mw).

The Comms Channel

Link | This is a great resource if you want to watch YouTube videos on Meshtastic. Perfect for visual learners and those who prefer step-by-step video guides.

Radio Mobile Online (coverage map creator)

Link | This is a fantastic tool to generate coverage maps of your node. You can watch this TCC video on coverage maps for more information. Make sure you use the same parameters as mentioned above: 906 MHz and 0.25 W.

Meshmap

Link | This is a great tool to view nodes on a map. This map is populated by the public MQTT server (more info on MQTT here).

Liam Cottle’s Meshtastic Map
