Reaching people on

#Meshtastic #Meshcore and #Reticulum

Currently requires running 3 separate nodes.

We think that's too many boxes. So we're combining them into 1.

Open hardware. Open firmware. Three mesh protocols running simultaneously.

@nodestar well I've got most of the hardware...but couldn't quite get the software to work for me. Does it really need a Pi5?

Hope the project happens. Looks great btw

@g7kse Pi5 might be overkill. Thanks for asking! We'll try a few different ways. A Pi 4 with 2 or 4 gigs of RAM will handle everything this device needs to do. The Pi 5 just felt like the safe and future proof recommendation. We'll make a more informed decision about the SBC when we get to production.

@nodestar if it helps everything was running happily on a Pi zero 2w and an old Pi 2.

Something not right with my config as it wouldn't connect to a testnet server. I'll look at that later.

@g7kse For what it's worth, we also have problems connecting to testnet servers. Also still sorting that out. Thanks for mentioning it.
