Thread with notes on my #meshcore experiment 🧵

Given the most recent issues with #meshtastic (uncollaborative MQTT chatters, limited number of hops, difficulty in convincing others to change device roles), I decided to give MC a try. I'll document the journey here as I go.

I've just used the #meshcore web flasher for the first time. For some reason, I never got the #meshtastic web flasher to work with any of my devices (Heltec or RAK). Must be something with my laptop.

Surprisingly, the MC web flasher worked in the first try! Okay, we're off to a good start I guess.

@py2toz Sometimes they just really really want you to use Chrome specifically. The real one. Was that ever the issue? Just curious! Thanks.

@nodestar Could be. I refuse to install Chrome though, so we'll never know :) Regardless, Chromium worked with MeshCore.

@py2toz Nice. I'm yet to try MC, but it's on my todo list, (and I keep getting pestered to try it too). I ran into issues with MT flashing too, but managed to make it work, wasn't overly impressed though.
