Open Sauce 2024 has been called an "Adult Science Fair", although it's not that kind of "Adult", unless you count a certain chess project. It's a convention for makers and inventors and creators to get together and show off all their weird projects, crazy ideas, and fun toys! This was the 2nd year the convention has been held, and the first time we attended. It's hard to describe just how crazy and overwhelming the event was, so just check out the video for a small taste!

Your Meshtastic was happily meshing with other nodes at the show and relaying messages for other users. This is a background process which uses your nodes transmitter and why you saw your battery was depleting so quickly without "You" yourself actually doing anything.

1:50 I've been there. Taken a homemade computer on the plane and then decided "Well I guess I'm in the air so I should mess with it for 10 minutes and maybe get a shot of that" but then after a bit I just pack it back up and look out the window. haha There's something funny about that long moment of waiting on an airplane, especially if you brought something fun that is really awkward in that cramped situation.

Thank you for taking us to Open Source 2024. It was very impressive, with so many booths and projects; it was very interesting. The Airbnb is great. When I saw the sea, my first thought was to immediately set up the dipole and start operating on shortwave. You presented some of your most beautiful projects at Open Source 2024.

It has been a pleasure to see your channel slowly grow over the years. In an internet ecosystem where it often feels like originality and genuiness isn't rewarded, it's nice to see someone like yourself succeed. I hope you keep at it!

Wish I could have gone. I grew up not far from there. The last time I was at the Cow Palace was to see Lynyrd Skynyrd on New Year 1989/1990. It was used for large music shows fairly often back in the 1970s and 1980s. It also got used for a lot of sports/RV shows and boat shows where they would bring in and rig up a bunch of sailboats in the main hall.

I had to fly cross country earlier this year for work and carried on a ribbon splicer and a core splicer and an otdr and two different light meters and a spectrum analyzer and a bunch of other stuff that TSA doesn't allow to be checked, all fit into two pelican cases. They didn't give a crap about any of it!

Looks like you had a blast, Gabe. I have it on my list--perhaps next year. Depending on where it is. I'll note that at 12GHz, you'll see a fair amount of black-body radiation from warm buildings, etc. Easily able to see that with even a cheap consumer LNBF. So you're seeing actual microwave emissions made by human technology, over-laid on top of the black-body background.

Jeff Geerling mentioned you in his video and showed your project in his video. He's also into technology and wireless communication. He's also space orientated. Although, I really like your show, it's a huge miss to not give the shout out back in this video. This doesn't mean that I don't like your videos. I don't know him personally, neither that I don't know you, but I think that the both of you are a good KZfaq match to work together, or shout out to each other like wolverine vs magneto.

Does your tdeck actually die? Or is it just frozen? I've had it last for days on a 3000mah battery, but sometimes it'll be unresponsive even when it's plugged in and I have to turn it off and back on. I feel like that firmware might be a little hacky.

@saveitforparts 11 күн бұрын

It seems like it lost power after about 10min, wouldn't light up the screen or respond to any button pushes, wouldn't show up on the app (although it's 50/50 if it does that when it's working). I have it sitting at home now and it's on day 3 of a full charge, guess they only work with no other nodes around! Meshtastic was showing off a custom firmware at the show, but I forgot to ask them about it!

Do you have any idea on how to improve the resolution on radio imaging?

@saveitforparts 10 күн бұрын

I have a couple ways to do that, this scanner will actually do 5x higher resolution (5 pixels per degree instead of one). However, the motors aren't super accurate and it drifts off target, I think it's even getting worse the more I use the thing! I tried doing a high-resolution scan at Open Sauce and it came out looking like garbage, so I gave up. Some of my other antennas use better motors and can give me higher-resolution outputs.
