Thinknode M1's to act as APRS devices?

[Stargazer933]

We would like to use Thinknode M1's as APRS devices for our CERT teams in the field. Trying to use TAK Aware as the main screen to show all the nodes. Has anyone had success with this? We can get the nodes to show on TAK Aware, but they are iffy and it seems we may have a few settings wrong.

Please follow the instructions for setting up the iOS TAK server. I assume by "APRS" you mean using Meshtastic as a tracking system and not the actual APRS protocol. To see all the nodes in the tak server settings, you need to enable "convert meshtastic packets to COT".

Thanks for the reply! Mesh to CoT converter is checked, but what about Read-Only Mode? Here is what is happening; (2) TN M1's set as close to each other as possible. Both in TAK Tracker role. The Meshtastic App will only connect to one at a time. Regardless of which one I am connected to, it does not show up on the TAK Aware screen, but the other node does. I turn one off, and the other node pops up.
