High School Robotics Course using the Particle.io Mesh Devices Blog I am updating my High School Robotics course that uses the Photon and Raspberry PI3 to include the Particle.io Mesh Devices. I might as well Blog about the experience and tweet about it on twitter using @rocksetta Note: I have tau…

Trying to organize distance measurements. Found this old link that is relevant [image] Ratio of mesh-only (Xenon) to internet-enabled boards (Argon, Boron) BLE // NFC @armor , that is a pure commercially driven choice IMO. I assumed you read Particle’s post, specifically …

This image says it all, for me. Outside, Line of Sight distances are dramatically better than anything I get inside the home of School for an Argon connecting to a Xenon. [neither-one-both]

thing is if it will not reconnect until you are within ~150 meter then getting transmission at any distant above that is somewhat hollow achievement even though interesting. i’m wondering if the reconnect sequence requires more current than those batteries could provide to either device or both. hop…

[image] dkryder: hopefully though it was just a fluke they would not reconnect at distance over ~150 meters. Reconnecting is going to take time, it's cold outside and I am quickly walking back to the Argon Gateway. Most likely the results are skewed in favor of the shorter distance. I really …

I started a new thread called [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. In t…

@rocksetta , see my post here: [image] User Mesh Distances. Lets come up with an average General @rocksetta , to better represent range, your circle boundaries should overlap at their centres. This represents the node-to-node maximum distance: [image] This “matrix” confi…

@peekay123 I pasted your image here on my blog because I really like it. [image]

by mesh antenna i infer you mean a bt antenna, but where do you get those? btw, here in toronto i would like to teach tech (iot, tensor flow, etc) to disadvantaged youth (and not only youth) populations. can i use your materials? fraser value looks gorgeous this time of the year :slight_smile:

@exquisitus , Particle Mesh does NOT use BT. It uses 6LowPan atop of 802.15.4 running the OpenThread protocol. As such, the mesh antenna is more akin to WiFi or Zigbee antennas. An Argon WiFi antenna can be used as a Mesh antenna as well (ie extra antenna).

To be fair, though, the external antenna u.FL connector is marked BT. :slight_smile: I think that’s been sparking a lot of confusion. But in the end, aren’t WiFi, 802.15.4, and Bluetooth all working at 2.4GHz (though perhaps in different bandwidth ranges? haven’t checked that)? So the same type of …
