KEEP IN MIND
Meshtastic is a community-driven, open-source project using LoRa radios for long-range, off-grid communication. Please be patient with the project, There will be frustration at times with these type of projects. There is no big corporations building a highly refined product, it is up to us as a community of hobbyist's to further refine the hardware and software to make this exciting off grid radio project grow. So again be patient help each other and i am glad to help where i can.
I am learning all the time about Meshtastic, i am not an expert just a hobbyist trying to help others establish off grid coms.
Meshtastic Basics
You will need more than 1 node.
Range is dependent on your area, trees, buildings, hills will limit your range.
Range is similar to the range of cheap walkie talkies.
Long range is possible with good line of sight and or, many nodes in the network.
Its unlikely you will connect with other users when you first get your node, unless you have friends near by with a node.
Your node can help others make longer range contacts, so keep it near a window and charged up.
This is an ongoing radio project each node is helping expand and grow.
We are are all learning, so be patient and help grow the community.
NOTE: 3D prints are not perfect you will recieve the unit in the pics, there may be minor defects from print process that do not affect function.
