Version mups18-3 (firmware version v1.18.0.mups3) of my custom MeshCore firmware is out. It is mainly a bug-fix release, so if you run mups18-2, please update.
MeshCore V1.18.0.mups2 is out: Better Tools For Finding Out Why Packets Get Lost
I have published mups18-2 (MeshCore v1.18.0.mups2), the second release of my custom MeshCore firmware based on IoTThinks PowerSaving-v18. It uses the same base and the same pull requests as mups18-1. The changes are mostly about seeing what a repeater actually does with the radio channel.

I put together a small tool that runs the MeshCore web flasher (flasher.meshcore.io) and the Repeater Setup page on your own computer. After the first setup it also works offline.
(more…)mups18: A New Custom MeshCore Firmware Based on v1.18.0
I have published a new release of my custom MeshCore firmware, mups18-1 (v1.18.0.mups1). It builds on the official MeshCore v1.18.0 and the IoTThinks PowerSaving-v18 branch, and adds a few pull requests that have not made it into the official firmware yet, plus defaults tuned for our network.
RTM Tasks: Remember The Milk inside Betterbird and Thunderbird
I have used Remember The Milk (RTM) for years to keep track of my tasks, and I read my mail in Betterbird. The two never fitted together well. RTM’s CalDAV interface turns tasks into calendar entries, which loses most of what makes RTM useful: smart lists, tags, Smart Add and the way tasks are sorted and grouped. So I built an add-on that talks to RTM directly.
RTM Tasks shows and edits your RTM tasks in their own tab in Betterbird and Thunderbird. It uses the RTM REST API, so it works like RTM itself.
(more…)Thread View: a Gmail-style conversation view for Thunderbird and Betterbird
Betterbird and Thunderbird show threads as a tree in the message list. That works, but it’s not always pleasant to read a long discussion that way. So I built a small add-on called Thread View. It shows all messages of a conversation as cards in a tab of their own, newest on top, much like the conversation view in Gmail.
(more…)Remember The Milk-Plugin for Betterbird / Thunderbird
I just created an extension for Betterbird (and Thunderbird 115 or newer) that creates a task in Remember The Milk from an email in two clicks, similar to the Remember The Milk add-on for Gmail.
Update 2026-11-15: I reactivate that plugin again, as my other plugin still does not support sub-tasks. So I am using just this plugin here to copy a mail into an RTM task and work, in the meantime, with the original RTM web app. Starting with version 1.5 I added a button in the left task bar of Betterbird to directly open the RTM website.
(more…)MeshCore-Informationen
Da ich mich in den letzten Monaten doch recht intensiv mit dem Thema MeshCore beschäftigt habe, ist mittlerweile eine relativ umfangreiche Sammlung an Informationen entstanden, die ich anderen Interessierten nicht vorenthalten möchte.
Die Startseite findet man unter

Neben einer Linksammlung, in der ich Links zu anderen MeshCore-relevanten Themen zusammengestellt habe, möchte ich noch die folgenden Dokumente hervorheben:

In April we made a round trip through Vietnam. Starting in Hanoi to Halong Bay, Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An and to Ho Chi Minh City, Cu Chi and Mekong Delta. The last days we relaxed at the beach in Phan Tiet.

Meshcore oder Meshtastic?
Seit ein paar Tagen fahre ich zweigleisig.
Ich habe nun sowohl einige Meshtastic– als auch einige Meshcore-Geräte am Start. Noch bin ich mir nicht sicher, wer das Rennen machen wird.
