Meshtastic is an open-source project using low cost LoRa radios as a long range off-grid communication platform in areas without little or no communications infrastructure. It's a portmanteau of Mesh and "fantastic".

I found it shared on Facebook, which lead me to the subreddit post, which lead me to reading more about it and even finding Lemmy communities and local groups!

I also made sure to check if this wasn't a hail corporate thing. And I also felt like I missed the era of homemade radios. So this is exciting for me!

That is incredible! You're doing what I'm just fantasizing about!

Any tutorials or videos on setting something like this up?
