When your comms infrastructure can be tariffed into shutdown, it's not really your infrastructure.

Norrnlib RC 1.2.2 is out. LoRa, BLE and internet — simultaneously, stable, yours.

Norrnlib RC 1.2.2 🎉

Customer: ”Why can’t we just use Meshtastic?”
The internet:

[cemaxecuter @cemaxecuter]

Your Meshtastic node is transmitting. Who's listening?

Have added some telemetry reporting to the norrn lib

Looks smokin hot 🔥

Have a great weekend!

[Norrn @norrn_io]

Not so much of a mesh topology, but that's not the point. Trying and training different norns with different LLMs on different hardware.
So far Gemma 4 E2B on raspberry pi 5b is not the best, but most impressive, such a small, capable and affordable package.

[Norrn @norrn_io]

Besides from having the mesh running over Lora, the mesh is extending over Bluetooth long range and over the internet 🌐

[Norrn @norrn_io]

@AndreiBulu @NordicTweets @lilygo9 which one, the black or the one for the t-beams?

[Norrn @norrn_io]

@maytas1008 @NordicTweets @lilygo9 Yes, well spotted.
Nothing phone 3a

[Norrn @norrn_io]

@0x71ff Nope, had thoughts along those lines, but it is just serial over USB.
Inside the black box is the rak wizblock.

[Norrn @norrn_io]

@seeedstudio 👀

[Norrn @norrn_io]

Finally! After deep diving into the @RAKwireless wizblock the mesh is up and running with low overhead and no more collisions and adaptive RSSI floor 🍻

[Norrn @norrn_io]

Spent time on abusive use, yanking out Lora dongles in the middle of data transfers, toggle ble of and on, bad wifi and cellular fixing arising buggs and twerking settings as things progress.

[Norrn @norrn_io]

Still working on stability in Lora, BLE and connection-switching in routing 😮‍💨

Its approaching something really nice though!

[Norrn @norrn_io]

Norrn Router updated with store-n-forward

[Norrn @norrn_io]

Working on Norrn-core and the LoRa lib to to work more stable, the TX cue in the firware will soon get a proper test

[Norrn @norrn_io]

Building a P2P protocol means a lot of "how does anyone else solve this" moments.
What's a quiet little design decision you made recently that nobody noticed but you?

[Norrn @norrn_io]

Spent the week convincing Norrn that "rekey often" is not the same as "rekey constantly". Some people would call that paranoid. I called it a bug. New release out.

[Norrn @norrn_io]

The rest of the week: messaging holds up better on bad networks, the app stops draining your battery doing things nobody asked for, and the renaming is still, slowly, renaming.
