@Edent what's so bad about <div> ... or: Why do you want to avoid them?

@krahabors I'm not interested in new or fancy. I just like tried and tested.
@Edent DIY combination of nrf52840 with sx1262, usually called faketec, is good enough for me. Even without common PCB, wired dead-bug style:)
There are factory made versions of that combination now and a lot of newer, probably better options. -
@krahabors @Edent I don't know what an nrf controller is.
But I am learning: https://howtomechatronics.com/tutorials/arduino/arduino-wireless-communication-nrf24l01-tutorial/#transmitter-codeBut there are low power firmware variants. https://github.com/dt267/MeshCore-Low-Power-Firmware-For-Heltec-V3-V4
However for beginners (like me also) just stick to normal firmware.

@Edent I don't know if Benn Jordan has a presence on Mastodon, but I'm sure he'd have something to say on the subject. ..

@Edent I'm on #meshcore because that looks to be more active in my area. (Netherlands)
I sarted with 25 euro investment for a helltec v3 (3.2 iirc) and I learned a ton about wireless signals already. I am planning to build a repeater to get the network more stable and put that out on the balcony where I live.
I'm having fun but it's still very new. It feels like proper emergency comms are still with the hams, but then I need to get a license.
Highly subjective takes, all of this. 😊Learning

I put up a meshtastic node before xmas. It's currently down though while I improve the power supply. I'm in the countryside. -
@Edent
Well. At least the developer is aware. -

@CommissarBas cheers.

@Edent That always works surprisingly well on most sites. Sometimes you can't scroll anymore afterwards. Take a look if overflow: hidden was set on the body tag.

@Edent I have a Meshtastic node (Heltec v3). AIUI the difference with Meshcore is that 'tastic can be fully P2P, while 'core requires router nodes and allows more "hops". So 'tastic is best for ad-hoc setups, 'core is better for co-ordinated, semi-permanent networks. However 'tastic recently made router-router hops "free", so it can be used for both situations.

I saw a conférence about Reticulum (at CCC IIRC) and it looked very interesting, I don't know a lot about mesh so I have no adive but I would compare it to meshmatic -
@Edent I prefer Meshtastic, but my local mesh switched to Meshcore. MC is not as good. It doesn't do as much. If you turn on a new node, it takes days to populated with the mesh nodes and half of them are unreliable links. I wasn't involved in the vote to switch.
Meshtastic has sensor integration and some simple stuff to get started. It's useful for IoT stuff. It quickly finds local nodes even factory fresh.
Both apps are quirky. Only one of them is open source.

@Edent I've so far stuck to meshtastic because it seems more, well, meshy. My use case doesn't include joining a wider local mesh so it's exactly what I need.
If your use case is joining a wider local mesh then you have to go with the (local) crowd, which you'll probably need a non-mesh network to find out about. Probably Facebook but who knows!
I'm currently using Sensecap and RAK card devices which work pretty well.
#meshtastic or #meshcore - how to find out what the others around you are using?
The lazy way: Compare https://map.meshcore.dev/ (meshcore) with https://meshmap.net/ (meshtastic).
And the obvious brute force idea would probably also work: Get a device, flash one of the two, try it out for a week, flash the other, try that out for a week.
(Have not flashed my own shiny new device yet for either. Intend to start with meshcore.)

@Edent I wanted to try meshcore but the website and github mention military and law enforcement use" in multiple places proudly, so not sure how I feel about that

@Edent this is the best talk on Meshtastic I found

Meshtastic very active in my area.
