Lol I’ve run several nodes like this. Have fun!
What does Meshtastic do again ? Is it a distributed form of internet ?
Kinda sorta, basically it is hardware wireless nodes (using LoRa on 915mhz) that can re-broadcast packets as a mesh network. You can send data and messages at a slow rate thru the mesh hopping between each station using very low power hardware. Not gonna be loading any web pages or anything though.
No, think about it more like a walkie-talkie, but for text messaging and GPS locations.
Unrelated, but what car is that? Looks interesting.
Its a 1991 Chevy pickup actually. K2500. Supposed to be boring but I enjoy it.
That’s a workhorse of a truck. Easy to repair to.
Its good that its easy to fix because I've done a lot of fixing. Still needs the fuel injectors tone through as it runs like dog. Lol
