Meshtastic is an open-source mesh networking platform designed to facilitate decentralized, long-range, and ad-hoc communication. This article provides a full guide on how to get started, covering its features, use cases, compatible hardware, and setup instructions.
OpenEmbed is creating the MeshWalkie, a Meshtastic-ready LoRa handheld using the housing of a Baofeng UV-K6 radio. It features an Espressif ESP32-S3, a Seeed Studio Wio-SX1262 LoRa transceiver, and a Seeed L76K GNSS receiver, all on a custom PCB. The project aims to provide a rugged, open-source alternative to 3D-printed or expensive injection-molded handhelds.
Meshnology offers a range of IoT and Meshtastic related products including ESP32 LoRa modules, batteries, antennas, development boards, sensors, and cases.
Meshtastic is an open-source project that provides long-range, off-grid communication using inexpensive LoRa radios. It allows users to send text messages, GPS locations, and voice messages over long distances without relying on internet or mobile networks.
The T-Deck is a compact device with a 2.8-inch IPS LCD touch screen, integrated keyboard, trackball, microphone, and speaker, running on an ESP32-S3 dual-core processor. It supports various frequencies and includes a GPS module and battery in its Plus variant. It features a U.FL/IPEX antenna connector for LoRa and can be flashed using Espressif's firmware download mode.
