I just found out about it. Open Source messaging. It seems intriguing although I’m not sure I would have much to do with it. I honestly can’t find too much information about it except for the website and a few YouTube videos. I was just curious if anyone has had experience with it.

I’ve got 6 radios running it! A couple use mqtt to push the messages off the mesh and onto the cloud where it’s a little more convenient to receive messages.

Overall I am using it to set up a little emergency comms for friends and family, but I hope to use it hiking/biking/backpacking as well.

Super active community on discord, and they have a subset of users on matrix as well.

This Meshtastic, I take it? I haven’t personally used it, but it sounds interesting! Not too surprising there’s not much info about it though, as it does sound rather niche.

That’s the one. I just ordered some stuff to try it out.

Yup got some Lora32s for hiking trips. Works great. They work out of the box, but you’ll have to get some lipos and print a case.

I did! Don’t expect too much stability out of it, but I was surprised to say that the latest version worked pretty stable and nicely for me. I can definitely recommend it.

I’ve got a few devices running and it’s pretty cool. Don’t really have a use case for it though!
