Meshtastic Setup notes for uConsole

Finally managed to get some stability in using Meshtastic on the uConsole.

  1. Managed to get the GPS device to be available to Meshtasticd without having to shutdown GPSD. Updated write up below.
  2. Managed to get my Meshtastic node to join the local Singapore mesh network. Given that i can have Meshtasticd now running as a daemon most of the time, it finally makes sense to keep the node running and perhaps contribute to the density of the LoRa network here (?). The notes and learnings below. Mainly congestion optimisation.

GPS on Ubuntu

Mucked around GPS on Ubuntu mainly because of my uConsole.

Managed to learn something about getting that set up properly and brought that over between my desktop as well as uConsole device. Did a write up on the setup for it here.
