Buggy

Generally has worked, but is very difficult to switch between nodes or to change programming on a node.

Recently it won't connect at all to a node. Just hangs, then closes.

FAQ

What is Meshtastic?

Meshtastic is an open-source application that creates a decentralized, off-grid mesh network using low-power LoRa radios. It allows users to send text messages without relying on traditional cellular or WiFi infrastructure.

How does Meshtastic work?

The app leverages LoRa radios to establish a mesh network, meaning devices can relay messages for each other. This creates a decentralized communication system that can extend beyond direct line-of-sight and function in areas with no internet or cell service.

Is Meshtastic free to use?

Yes, Meshtastic is an open-source project and is free to download and use. There are no in-app purchases or advertisements associated with the application itself.

What are the main use cases for Meshtastic?

Meshtastic is ideal for situations where reliable communication is critical but traditional networks are unavailable. This includes outdoor activities like hiking and camping, emergency preparedness, and communication in remote or disaster-stricken areas.
