Meshtatic
I've been working on a presentation to show off Meshtastic to the group but I'm finding it difficult to explain everything without the taking up too much of your time so I've decided to consolidate all the information I've collected here on this page. I will continue to add video links and other information over time.
I am working on a more detailed page to replace this one but it might take me a week or so to get it all together. The plan is to have one spot to send people who are interested in Meshtastic so they can learn about what it can be used for and how to get started with their first node. As of right now it's just a collection of other peoples videos so you have something to look at while I'm working on the main page.
I will be adding to this page from time to time so check back for more. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Examples of Meshtatic Nodes

Outdoor Solar Node

There are tons of sources of information out there that are better than my explanation. Here are some links to check out. I have included some Amazon links at the bottom if anyone is interested in purchasing the Heltec v3 that is mentioned in some of these videos. I also included a link to the more expensive all in one TDEK unit pictured above.

Amazon Links
(prices change over time so please shop around before you buy to make sure you get the best price)
T-Deck Plus
(more expensive all in one option, more difficult to get running but it doesn't require a phone or tablet to operate)
Below is the one I recommended for someone starting out.
Heltec v3 kit (single unit with case and battery)
Heltec v3 - 2 pack with cases and batteries.
Heltec v3 (no case or battery, can be powered by usb)
Cheapest option but I recommend on of the above options instead
