What is Meshtastic?
In this video, I set up my very first Meshtastic node and walk you through the basics of getting your node online. Meshtastic is a low-power, off-grid mesh network that lets you send messages without cell service, Wi-Fi, or even a ham radio license.
If you’ve been curious about how it works or want to try it yourself, this guide will get you started.
