PHL Virtual Meshtastic Meetup

May 16, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The words "Virtual Meshtastic Meetup" in black on a green background

We’re hosting a virtual meetup on Tuesday, May 16th at 7 p.m. to help Meshtastic users get connected. Our goal is to make a wireless chat network across the PHL area using low-power LoRa radios.

➡️ Jitsi Meet Link

To join the Meshtastic chat, you’ll need a LoRa radio such as a Heltec LoRa32LILYGO LoRa32, or LILYGO T-BeamHere’s a full list of compatible devices. If you don’t have a LoRa radio, you’re still welcome to join the meetup.

Here are a few things we’re hoping to accomplish:

• Flash the latest stable Meshtastic firmware, version 2.1.5.23272da.

• Decide on a channel setting (e.g., Long Range Fast or Very Long Range Slow).

• Discuss Meshtastic device roles (client, router, router client, etc.).

• Set up a shared encryption key.

• Chat!

Here’s our zine on LoRa + Meshtastic from summer 2022, which is now slightly out of date. We’re working on a new version.
