I’m trying to challenge myself with a project, just to push myself to test out the new Particle Mesh devices. I live near a park, and wanted to see if I could send a signal from one end of the park to the other end. It’s approximately 1.7 - 1.8 km from one end to the other, or just over 1 mile. At …

@james.eberhardt , take a look here: [image] User Mesh Distances. Lets come up with an average General There is a similar topic which got closed Mesh distance between devices So I am starting a new one. This link is more about how many devices to have to cover an area. …

[image] james.eberhardt: At 25 meters (82 feet) between BLE devices Just wanted to chime in that mesh uses OpenThread, not BLE.

Isn’t there a limit of 1 argon or boron per mesh net, currently? One gateway device and then the rest have to be xenons, as far as I kow.

For the time being, yes. [image] Non-Gateway Boron BLE // NFC It’s not currently possible to use an Argon (or Boron) as a non-gateway mesh device (like a Xenon). And it’s not possible to add two gateways to a single mesh network at this time, though this will be allowed i…
