Tools

Overview

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 here)/

Liam Cottle’s Meshtastic Map [[link]]

This is another map resource for Meshtastic nodes with some extra data and presented in a slight different way.
