mat:aerialtest
== 1 Feb 2017 - too many mistakes == At the last minute the night before I re-lashed together a slightly more robust GPS node than my previous try - node on a PCB this time rather than the [[mat:gpsnode]] lashup I flew last time. While the node was robust, the GPS was attached rather shoddily. Still, it worked. Even had a bit of feedback having a flashing light once the GPS had a lock. {{:mat:node.jpg}} The other issue was that I'd moved my ebulobo gateway node to the front of the house as it had better line of sight to the airfield so I thought I might get an earlier message passed. No such luck. Maybe having the antenna right in front of the middle window bar wasn't cleverest. In my defence I did put it there in the dark the night before... {{:mat:gateway.jpg}} So test slightly unsuccessful. Next time I think I might fly a transmit only node. It was configured as a repeater so I wonder if the PilotAware unit a couple of feet away regularly transmitting 500mW may have been an issue. === Packets received === Node was turned on during the whole flight from approx 15 miles away from home and back, via a quick trip to 5000' to see if I could light up a gateway further afield.
