| − | Building a wireless mesh network up with DNS, captive portal webpage, and communication infrastructure. A tiny "internet" for disaster stricken areas.
| + | A field day type event like Ham radio operators do to test out emergency communication only with ethernet and wifi links to build a computer network. Basically, how quickly and to what extent can we create an computer network that operates similar to the Internet. |

| − | * To catch everyone up, as the wiki has been neglected :( :
| |
| − | ** At last count we have 3 WRT54G devices meshing using [[User:Brimstone|Brimstone]]'s custom slim build.
| |
| − | ** [[User:strages|strages]] purchased/obtained 8 TP-Link wr710N wireless routers, 3 of which have been flashed with openwrt.
| |
| − | ** [[User:strages|strages]] purchased a fair sized clear blue water proof box and an 1800mAh battery pack that might work well for the wr710n's. Testing will ensue.
| |
| − | ** [[User:strages|strages]] purchased a 45W solar array with power converter for use with the field day portion of this project.
| |
| − | ** [[User:strages|strages]] purchased a 5W solar panel for use with the field day portion of this project.

| − | * Stopped by Batteries+ and found 42Ah AGM battery for $76.99 and battery boxes for $12.99. The battery boxes should provide decent weather proofing so long as they're not submerged. Might want to paint them white so as to not absorb so much heat (they're black plastic). Still trying to workout a small footprint solar charging solution.

| |
| − | * Successfully configured an AP and adhoc(mesh) interface on 3 of the 8 routers and they all function properly! Mesh is mesh and AP let's everyone connect into the network over wireless. Still some configuration I have to setup for the physical LAN interfaces. Thanks to [http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Batman-adv-openwrt-config-sophisticated this website] I now have a uci config that involves 2 line changes per device.

| |
| − | * [08:56] <strages_work> I guess what I'm asking, what had to be removed to get wifi and batman-adv in there

| |
| − | * [09:11] <strages_work> but one can be set initially?

| |
| − | * [14:46] <strages_work> you might find some other interesting stuff in there as well
| |
| − | * [14:47] <+brimstone> it's interesting that a lot of the hardware's the same
| |
| − | * [14:47] <strages_work> right
| |
| − | * [14:48] <strages_work> *it's mostly just memory contraints
| |
| − | * [14:48] <strages_work> cheaper manufacturing
| |
| − | * [14:48] <+brimstone> i think the multiple VAPs are controlled by hostapd, and i don't have space for that graaaaa

| |

| |
| − | * 17:58 < strages_shop> works on Josh?
| |
| − | * 17:58 <+brimstone> yup
| |
| − | ====01/21/12====
| |
| − | * 14:28 <+brimstone> strages_home: you didn't tell me these routers only had 8MB of ram too
| |
| − | * 14:35 < strages_home> I didn't know it was an issue :(
| |
| − | * 14:35 <+brimstone> yup
| |
| − | * 14:36 <+brimstone> i've got butterscotch in a weird state too
| |
| − | * 14:36 <+brimstone> boots up fine, then does something to corrupt itself
| |
| − | * 14:42 < strages_home> hmm
| |
| − | * 14:43 <+brimstone> i'm reflashing butterscotch with stock openwrt
| |
| − | * 14:43 <+brimstone> leaves him at least usable
| |
| − | * 14:44 < strages_home> kk
| |
| − | * 14:44 < strages_home> he's a 2.2 which means that's fine
| |
| − | * 14:44 <+brimstone> yeah, but my firmware should have worked
| |
| − | * 14:45 <+brimstone> so there's debugging that
| |
| − | * 14:45 < strages_home> oh you were testing it for use on all the devices, not just the 2MB ones
| |
| − | * 14:45 <+brimstone> yup
| |
| − | * 14:46 < strages_home> buterscotch is 4MB
| |
| − | * 14:46 <+brimstone> right
| |
| − | * 14:46 <+brimstone> why does the 1.7MB firmware fail?
| |
| − | * 14:46 < strages_home> not a clue
| |
| − | * 14:47 < strages_home> check lsmod and dmesg dumps for differences?
| |
| − | * 14:47 <+brimstone> probably the jffs2 stuff getting in the way
| |
| − | * 15:06 <+brimstone> yup, the jffs2 stuff
| |
| − | * 15:11 <+brimstone> pfft, batctl wants a debugfs
| |
| − | * 15:13 < strages_home> don't need it

| |
| − | * [09:56] <strages_work> brimstone: is there a config being written somewhere on Josh that contrains all the settings for the mesh?
| |
| − | * [09:56] <+brimstone> no, josh doesn't have room to save configs
| |
| − | * [09:57] <+brimstone> but /etc/init.d/mesh-setup and /etc/init.d/mesh-finish are the static files i hard coded into the firmware to set it up
| |
| − | * [09:57] <strages_work> ok
| |
| − | * [09:59] <strages_work> I'm thinking we need to replicate those settings in a config file for the 4MB devices and just run straight openwrt 10.3.1 on them. This would let us use tools like batctl etc on at least some of the devices.
| |
| − | * [10:01] <+brimstone> we could also just pull the batctl binary from the package and replace it on the 4MB ones
| |
| − | * [10:01] <+brimstone> the stock firmware has a lot of extra baggage
| |
| − | * [10:01] <+brimstone> ppp, luci, etc
| |
| − | * [10:03] <strages_work> can hostap be installed like that as well?
| |
| − | * [10:03] <+brimstone> yes
| |
| − | * [10:04] <strages_work> ok
| |
| − | * [10:06] <strages_work> so right now, we can install your openwrt image on all the devices (at least the ones we've tested thus far), they'll mesh, and we add packages as needed given room on the device?
| |
| − | * [10:06] <+brimstone> should be able to
| |
| − | * [10:06] <+brimstone> i made sure opkg was still on there
| |
| − | * [10:07] <strages_work> alright because I'm shooting for as little setup time as possible given that it's supposed to be an emergency network
| |
| − | * [10:08] <strages_work> there are a few spinoff ideas after I finish this one utilizing the same or similar setup
| |
| − | * [10:09] <strages_work> like having them in client mode on one of the virtual aps and auto connection to open wireless networks effectively extending the range of existing infrastructure
| |
| − | * [10:09] <strages_work> *auto connecting
| |
| − | * [10:10] <+brimstone> that'll be gross if you're not careful
| |
| − | * [10:10] <strages_work> right, it's just an idea
| |
| − | * [10:10] <+brimstone> as long as you're only linking to one network it should be ok
| |
| − | * [10:11] <strages_work> or use a decent routing protocol to prevent routing loops
| |
| − | * [10:12] <+brimstone> it's more then that
| |
| − | * [10:12] <+brimstone> you can't link to 192.168.1.0/24 networks, you'll get conflicting ips
| |
| − | * [10:12] <+brimstone> you'll knock valid users off networks, or your own users
| |
| − | * [10:13] <strages_work> that seems fixable by using some other network range though by default...
| |
| − | * [10:13] <+brimstone> you don't control the open wifis you're connecting to
| |
| − | * [10:13] <+brimstone> you might be able to do some double/triple nat weirdness, but that's gross
| |
| − | * [10:15] <strages_work> sure I would have difficulty hosting services on the network, but that wasn't really the plan
| |
| − | * [10:15] <+brimstone> you also start limited the range as you're adding additional TTLs
| |
| − | * [10:15] <+brimstone> or subtracting as the case may be
| |
| − | * [10:15] <strages_work> true
| |
| − | * [10:17] <strages_work> regardless this is all hypothetical right now. Getting everything working as an emergency network is the plan then it's building communication services on top of that
| |
| − | * [10:17] <+brimstone> yup
| |
| − | * [10:17] <strages_work> captive portal, message board, chat, possibly crude voip
| |
| − | * [10:18] <strages_work> I wonder if android can do batman-adv
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====02-19-2013====
| |
| − | <strages_work> say a wr703n uses 200mA (.2A) peak, I know it doesn't but humor me.
| |
| − | <strages_work> that 1W peak power (5V x.2A)
| |
| − | <strages_work> *that's
| |
| − | <strages_work> .2A x 24hrs = 4.8Ah
| |
| − | <strages_work> so we'll round up and say a 6Ah battery ought to suffice
| |
| − | <strages_work> now let's day our area gets 6 hours optimal sunlight per day
| |
| − | <strages_work> *let's say
| |
| − | <strages_work> if I had a 6V panel and a 6V battery, then I would need a 1W panel to keep it topped off?
| |
| − | <brimstone> you would need to charge that 6Ah battery in 6 hours
| |
| − | <strages_work> yeah
| |
| − | <strages_work> does all this sound about right for keeping a mesh node going?
| |
| − | <strages_work> ideally you would over engineer with a 1.5 or 2 W panel to account for less than optimal conditions

| |
| − | * a 7Ah battery should run a WRT54G for ~29 hours [http://www.skifactz.com/wifi/solar_wrt54g3.htm]
| |
| − | * "And as a reference point, it was found that a 55 AH SLA battery with a 45W amorphous solar panel under decidedly sub-optimal conditions can run a WRT54G indefinitely." [http://www.hsmm-mesh.org/section-blog/37-hardware-faqs/56-how-long-will-a-wrt54g-run-from-a-battery.html]
| |
| − | * With the custom 2MB openwrt-10.3.1 image that [[User:brimstone|brimstone]] is developing, if there is no mesh IP defined it will assume 192.168.10.2 .
| |
| − | * Multiple SSIDs cannot be done with the custom 2MB image, but can on the 4MB devices.
| |
| − | ** This is due to the limited number of packages available due to memory constraints.
| |
| − | * To enter failsafe mode on the wr703n routers, hit the reset switch multiple times immediately upon plugging it in. The blue light will begin blinking rapidly if done correctly. You should now be able to set your ethernet IP to 192.168.1.233 and telnet to 192.168.1.1. Run the command '''mount_root''' to mount the root filesystem and edit files to restore connectivity.
