Hi,
I *DO* have it running on a pair of Meraki minis with villagetelco software. Seems to work *VERY* well.
glad to hear that !
I always seem to be looking for a real-time quality monitor so I can adjust antennas, check range, watch radios change by themselves, etc. i.e.- A real-time chart recorder widget. Thus my suggestion.
You are not the first one with such a feature request but let me point out that batman is not the right tool for the job. If you want to finetune antennas batman is way too slow and imprecise, since all it does is measuring packet loss within a certain time frame. Deriving antenna directions from that is more magic than real sience.
I'd rather suggest a tool like "horst" (Highly Optimized Radio Scanning Tool - http://br1.einfach.org/tech/horst/) which hooks into your wifi driver to retrieve real-time data about the link quality to your neighbors. Of course, such a tool is highly dependend on the wifi driver and probably does not support all the drivers in the world but I'm sure it can be extended.
Hi, thank you very much for your suggestion! It is very usefull here! :)
