A Meshtastic node has been one of the toys of the moment over the last year, and since they are popular with radio amateurs there’s a chance you’ll already live within range of at least…
Have you looked at Reticulum at all? I know it’s not a drop-in replacement but it can also do messaging over LoRa and it sounds like it’s a bit more resilient than Meshtastic’s flood protocol. Also more complicated though.
I’m only just getting into this stuff, so I’m basically wondering how they compare for someone with more experience using LoRa devices. Does it seem workable?
I’ve read the least about Meshcore so far - it looked like a corporate alternative to Meshtastic but I might not have given it enough consideration.
Yep I played around with it. Its biggest pro is that is can work over many different protocols (as you alluded to). Bad part is that I have real issues getting it to work without internet. I hope it goes far though!
I really hope that they make it easier to work with. I have a hard time getting it to work. There a lot of setup and assumptions they make. An all in one setup would be great for adoption.
