A starter page for my meshtastic hobby.

Meshtastic and me#
I discovered Meshtastic in 2023 thanks to a colleague at SiXworks. I had the opportunity to play around with a couple of devices from Lilygo, and thought they were cool but didnt think too much of it.
One late evening in 2024 I was browsing the internet and came across the meshtastic subreddit. I immediately thought it looked cool and remembered trying it a year prior. So… why not… it’s fairly cheap to get into, so its worth trying.
