Replying to Avatar Dr. Hax

I got my #Meshtastic node working with an #Arduino. No #wifi nor #bluetooth required. No #smartphone, #RaspberryPi running Linux or any other real computer involved.

Nodes can talk directly to one another with no #infrastructure, and no #HAM #licenses.

The picture is a prototype for a project I'm working on, but just having the ability to have little #electronics speak Meshtastic natively is a game changer! #hardware

After I get this project done, I plan on experimenting with swapping thing out.

1. Meshtastic node, any node with UART should suffice

2. MCU (currently the Arduino Mega)

2a. other Arduinos

2b. other MCUs

2c. SBC (pi zero or similar)

3. The LoRa transciever on the pi pico

And probably eventually making a custom board that puts most/all of this onto one PCB.

Starting an entire blog site sounds like a lot of work, but I can write something up and post it somewhere. 🫂
