Meshtastic Linux Native Client based on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 Since I won't be doing much more with Meshtastic ( I see the future in MeshCore), but still want to keep one node, I decided to move my home node to a different antenna. The node is now operating on the roof on the garden side with an ALFA antenna in a 3D-printed holder, so I can still observe how the Meshtastic network develops. Below is the original article featuring the first antenna. My DIY Meshtastic Home Node based on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 , the Waveshare PoE Ethernet/USB HUB HAT , and the MeshAdv Mini Launch Edition: LoRa/GPS Hat . The node is operated in the attic, powered via POE, and an Mikrotik 868 Omni antenna is on the roof. The goal was to have a reliable node that could be easily updated and configured via SSH. POE is ideal as a power source for this purpose, as it also provides a stable network connection for MQTT connections. The switch that provides POE is buffered via a UPS. Antenna mount Since I live in a rented house, I decided on a non-destructive way to install the antenna on the roof. There is a metal-framed skylight in the attic, so it was obvious to use magnets. I designed two 3D-printed parts in TinkerCAD to connect the antenna and the magnets. The first prototype wasn't a perfect fit, but it proved that the type of fastening was suitable. The second print produced perfect fitting plastic parts, which were then assembled. The magnets hold almost too well! 😎 The final product... ... on the roof. The printed parts are made of PETG. I significantly increased the infill at the connection points compared to the rest. Once everything was in position, I also glued the two parts together. download .STL: antenna plate download .STL: magnet mount I bought  these magnets on Amazon. Apparently, people use them to fish for metal parts in ponds and rivers. Anyway, it was important to me that the magnets had a hole and were strong. These magnets fulfill both requirements. Software setup Since I use the wonderful MeshAdv Mini HAT, it made sense to also use the Meshtasticd-Configuration-Tool published by the same developer to set up Raspberry Pi OS & Meshtasticd. It was refreshingly simple; I only had to activate the web server outside of the tool in /etc/meshtasticd/config.yaml : Webserver: Port: 443 # Port for Webserver & Webservices RootPath: /usr/share/meshtasticd/web # Root Dir of WebServer SSLKey: /etc/meshtasticd/ssl/private_key.pem # Path to SSL Key, generated if not present SSLCert: /etc/meshtasticd/ssl/certificate.pem # Path to SSL Certificate, generated if not present
