So if I am looking at this correctly, if I was soldering on the cable for the RF-900 on the GL-AR150, it looks straightforward enough, but I don't see the 5v pin marked out on their website.<br /><br />For reference I am looking at this pic from their site:<br />https://www.gl-inet.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ar150_marks_800.jpgAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753395574117026141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068638994894102968.post-23424736734042141022016-11-29T20:32:28.023-08:002016-11-29T20:32:28.023-08:00Hello,

For the hardware, this wiki page is still relevant:<br /><br />http://developer.servalproject.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=content:meshextender:prototyping_on_mr3020<br /><br />For the software preparation, use the instructions in:<br /><br />https://github.com/servalproject/mesh-extender-builder<br /><br />That all said, we are now moving away from the MR3020 towards the GL-AR150, as it is cheaper and better than the MR3020, and also easier to prepare the hardware, as it has a real pin available for the 5V line, unlike the MR3020.<br /><br />Paul.Paul Gardner-Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150903760695355706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068638994894102968.post-76811115103541912372016-11-29T15:30:02.783-08:002016-11-29T15:30:02.783-08:00Paul, I am very interested in the serval/mesh comm...Paul, I am very interested in the serval/mesh community, though I must admit I don't work or live in an environment that gives me a great deal of need to do so. I have a close friend who is deployed in humanitarian aide scenarios all over the world, and he is attempting to collect resources that can further assist in these scenarios.<br /><br />Is there a current article with resources on how best to build an extender? Preferably a radio based on ideally. I know that you are working on building inexpensive ones for this exact niche, but I am wondering if we could use off the shelf components to achieve this in the short term. It seems like a number of the documents regarding the extender are a few years old at this point, and I just wondered if they were still up to date.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753395574117026141noreply@blogger.com
