    Apparently, I’ve not tried it myself. here and here as well are post about it, and there is a fork called FieldMesh which might interest you (but seems quite new).

    In the UK and I have seen messages from the Netherlands which is pretty cool. Also, what do people talk about other than testing and the mesh itself?

    I don’t think the current drama is a big deal, and with each day it seems more and more clear MeshCore.io will be the new main website. But the whole drama was part of the reason I made this post just to get some discussion going!

    Personally I would love it if meshtastic and MeshCore blended, with meshtastic like standard being used to find other companion devices nearby, then MeshCore being used for wider regional connections. But I doubt that will ever happen, decentralised tech gonna decentralise!

    I would agree to a certain extent it’s a solution looking for a problem. It could be great in emergencies where the cellular network is down, and I guess its interesting because its so limited: text only, no images or video. Sometimes having limits can make things better.

    I have, it sounds good but not quite mature enough yet? Mostly a one man show who sounds like he is getting g burnt out. Not much adoption either as understand it. Also, I wonder if it will make less of a community as it is so flexible and less reliant on a single type of hardware.

    I’d say what this space, I think it will eventually take off. Happy to be corrected if anyone knows anything more than my very superficial level knowledge!

    The network in Australia does look pretty good! In the UK there is a mesh all the way up the country, although connections to Scotland can be limited sometimes. I have got loads of messages from the Netherlands where it seems very popular as well.

    I also think the community will probably all migrate to MeshCore.io, there hasn’t been much explanation of the ‘other side’ and registering for a trademark without telling anyone else is a bit dodgy.

    Wow interesting, I didn’t know that was an issues with it. I’ll have to have a think about maybe an alternative device.

    I also got some wrong vibes from mesh core, but then I equally got those vibes from meshtastic too. Ultimately I preferred the software architecture of mesh core and in the UK it seems a lot more popular. Having a backbone of repeaters seems to make it more scalable. I will reserve judgement about reliability at present until I have more experience.
    I use a t-1000e device which is very portable but antenna is very limited. I was going to try the L1 actually, can you expand on the issue you were having? Do you mean when it can’t get a GPS lock the battery drained quickly?

    I don’t know if anyone is interest in mesh networks like MeshCore. I have been dabbling in it, and it’s an interesting concept of distributed LoRa radios making a community network.
    There has been some recent drama with MeshCore where in a nutshell there has been a disagreement over control of the project and probably ultimately money.

    If anyone else uses MeshCore (or meshtastic), what has your experience of it been? What are your thoughts about the future of the project with the drama? I don’t think it will be a big deal, I suspect it will blow over without a large fracture but it’s very much a guess rather than considered view.

    It does actually, GDPR only applies organisations and not individuals (unless doing it in a professional capacity). See my other comment for the link to supporting evidence.

    I would have been worried if it was high 70s (Celsius) last week… (edit or Kelvin come to think of it)
