    Has anyone gone down the meshtastic rabbit hole like I have LOL. Very cool tech for sure. I am going to install a mqtt gateway since I am in a area with very few nodes, I have a solar rf node now and a portable heltec v3 I use inside.

    I have a Heltec V3, been puttering around with it. Not much progress
    made yet.

    I built a WisBlock meshtastic node earlier this year. It was fun for a bit, especially at EAA Airventure this year.

    Now the thing just sits in my truck, and I occasianally remember to charge it (the battery I jammed in there lasts nearly a month).

    Meshtastic is a neat concept, but it really seems like a solution that's in search of a problem.

    ...File not found, I'll load something *I* think is interesting.
