Free P2P wireless mesh networking
Open source, off-grid, decentralized mesh networking on small, affordable devices. That's Meshtastic!
You can learn more about the protocol and how to get started at https://meshtastic.org
HUGE thanks to Muzi Works for reaching out after Open Sauce and sending over their H1 and R1 pre-built Meshtastic radios! You can find out more about them and see all their products here: https://muzi.works
They did not pay us anything to make this video, but they did send the radios that we're using to learn Meshtastic (thus the 'Paid sponsorship' disclosure at the beginning of the video!).
I've also ordered a few extra radios and my Dad and I are starting to learn about this fancy new radio tech! The map I showed near the end of the video is here: https://meshmap.net
There's another map here: https://meshtastic.liamcottle.net — and there are even others out there too... it's kind of the wild west right now in Meshtastic-land!
