@paul-lorenc:matrix.org | did it work out of the box for you? Their crowdsupply site links to https://github.com/teledatics/nrc7292_sw_pkg and I'm not exactly sure what to do with this lol | 18:50:41 |
@retry:matrix.org | should be an led lit when you plug the board in, don't make the mistake I did of trying to use a usb-c to usb -c cable, it doesn't power on if you do that | 18:51:05 |
@retry:matrix.org | yeah, after I figured out the above issue it worked out of the box; their docs suck though | 18:51:42 |
@retry:matrix.org | I ended up doing a usb-c to usb2 to usb-c set of cables just so my mac would see it as a usb2 device | 18:53:01 |
@paul-lorenc:matrix.org | Lol I think my issue was using a usb c cable that was power-only | 18:54:01 |
@retry:matrix.org | it's a usb2 device with a usb-c connector and I think they forgot the resistor that tells the computer it's a usb2 device so it expects usb-c power delivery requests | 18:56:55 |
@retry:matrix.org | same thing happened when I tried using a power adapter that had usb-c on both ends | 18:57:19 |
@retry:matrix.org | board should be preconfigured to come up as an ap with teledatics as the ssid | 18:58:48 |
@paul-lorenc:matrix.org | retry abort fail: if you’re coming by later today I have a few programs we can test the halow boards with if you don’t mind installing them:
https://github.com/sebkur/lanchat
https://briarproject.org/download-briar-desktop/
I think Lanchat should work on Mac but briar only works on Linux right now. | 20:01:59 |
@paul-lorenc:matrix.org | Have no clue if all the different WLAN multicast stuff works with 802.11ah | 20:02:41 |
@retry:matrix.org | I didn't order any addons like ethernet or wifi | 20:03:27 |
@retry:matrix.org | main thing I'm interested in is the range but I'm not sure late on a Friday night is the best time to test that | 20:04:15 |
@paul-lorenc:matrix.org | Yeah if you’re around we can range test at that park across from iffy books in the December 2600 meetup (weather permitting!!) | 20:06:49 |
@paul-lorenc:matrix.org | Also now that I have one, I’m probably gonna put in an order for another one. Their website says they ship in 3 business days now but after waiting 5 months for this first order I’m not exactly confident lol | 20:07:29 |
@retry:matrix.org | I'm also free on the weekend if you want to range test | 20:08:03 |
@retry:matrix.org | In reply to @paul-lorenc:matrix.org Also now that I have one, I’m probably gonna put in an order for another one. Their website says they ship in 3 business days now but after waiting 5 months for this first order I’m not exactly confident lol I was expecting these devices to be slightly more native than a serial connection to a micro controller attached to a radio | 20:10:04 |

@paul-lorenc:matrix.org | retry abort fail: i have an order of another Halow board + two 2.4GHz HATs arriving Saturday by 7pm if you’re around Sunday or next week for range testing. | 19:56:48 |
@paul-lorenc:matrix.org | happy to meetup at iffy books if that works for you | 19:57:15 |
@paul-lorenc:matrix.org | Also I’ll have a Debian machine with the drivers installed this time around lol | 19:58:38 |
@retry:matrix.org | cool | 20:12:39 |

@paul-lorenc:matrix.org | hey sorry I had something come up today. Apologies for not writing earlier. | 20:11:52 |
@paul-lorenc:matrix.org | My second crowdsupply shipment came in today though, tonight I’ll try and get two of my computers connected over 900MHz so it’ll be ready for range testing whenever we can meetup. | 20:13:29 |
