I’ve got a Meshtastic setup up and going! It’s a weatherproof, solar powered unit from RakWireless. I also picked up a few client handhelds to test with. Unfortunately, I don’t live in a very populated area, and am surrounded by trees, so range is pretty low, and there’s no one else to create a mesh with. The handhelds would be more useful, for traveling into more populated areas, like Boston or NYC. Still, it’ll be fun to mess with! 😊
For the handhelds, I picked up 2x Lilygo T-Deck Plus units, and 1x T-Deck Pro. I have to say, the lack of information for the T-Deck Pro was disappointing, as was it’s UI/UX. It was really painful trying to use, and I had to reboot it constantly.
The T-Deck Plus models, are much more user friendly, and easier to use. Currently the Pro is put away, while I play with the 2x Plus’s. I’ll be in NYC in a few days, so I’ll make sure to bring one with me. Can’t wait!
