Doomsday messenger - 2

I tested the range with two laptops and was able to send and receive messages with 200 ft in height and 150 m in horizontal range... wasn't able to do in a distance of 1km so I will have to use a gsm antenna for that now...

Now the whole setup is too wonky with the wires hanging

and the wire antenna doesn't really do justice... so I bought two gsm antennas and now I'm designing a pcb on which i will solder the rfm chip + attach the antenna and the pcb will have a 2.54 mm pitch so that its easy to attach...

dm me if anyone needs the gerber files for this pcb... i've sent this for printing will get it in 15 days... until then ill start writing the code for the node discovery etc and get rid of this crude way of sending messages...

i still have to think about how in the future i want to communicate with it, by which i mean, if i wanna add a keyboard + display to it... or if i want it to host a hotspot with a website so that we can send msgs via phone etc... kinda confused...
