Meet the people teaching and building Meshtastic and MeshCore. Watch their work, follow a path that makes sense and use what you learn to connect with the wider community.
You do not need to pick a side. You need to understand what each one is good at and what your local community already uses.
Open source mesh communication commonly used for text messaging, location sharing, telemetry and community networks on inexpensive LoRa hardware.
Open source LoRa mesh protocol and firmware built around companions, dedicated repeaters, room servers and standalone devices.
Each path tells you what to learn first, what comes next and where to go when you are ready to build.
This collection combines creator approved participation with clearly identified independent creator resources. Every video stays with its original creator, with clear credit and direct source links.
