Anyone using meshtastic?
For once the youtube algo turns up something interesting.
[Real quick: low power, lower frequency, LOW DATA SPEED, radio network mesh you can build on your own. Can either link to a cell phone via Bluetooth OR buy a stand alone text device]
I've watched a few videos on the idea and for a serious situation (earthquake, volcano) where the grid goes down for a week or so, these could be very handy for texting other people.
Anyone used these, set up a network? I'm curious.
The kits range from print a 3d cover for it to solder components together.
Here's another that just popped up on my youtube home screen
