Meshtastic anyone?

Hi,

Been watching some youtube clips from Andy Kirby last night on the subject and it looks very intriguing, basically a mesh/distributed text/chat over LoRa.
Ordered some heltec gear on aliexpress (there's some on amazon as well, for those seeking instant gratification, albeit more expensive).
It uses LoRA 868MHz, so same gear as Helium, will be repurposing some cabling and antenna hehe.

Some of the devices are presented here.


Is anyone of you there already?

Looks like something I'd like to play around with, if I can find some free time. Which specific kit did you order?

Making that your first post is what I'd call spam, especially when your account name is the same as your website. So in being fair, I'm going to remove the link from that and will see if you're here to do more than just self-promotion.

I've used it, and i'm subscribed to Andy's youtube (and his pal Lewis aka ringwaymanchester) and yeah it's fun little messenger tool. I must be on some end of the world doomsday prepper list because it popped up in my youtube feed a while back about messaging people during the apocalypse lol. Anyway, I was big into helium "mining" a while back and put a giant LoRa antenna on my house, so I guess I should spend more time playing with this stuff.
 
Friend of mine showed me Meshtastic and he's got a unit up and running. It's on my list of things "to do".
