I've been messing around with Meshtastic recently:
https://meshtastic.org/
It's been fun to explore. Lots of cheap hardware out there to get
started with. Documentation slightly lacking but not terrible, and so
far where the docs fall short I can turn to the code for answers. Good community.
I've created a library for use by Synchronet JavaScript modules:

What have you created so far? I have 4 meshtastic devices and quickly

Quite a lot but also not very much. :)
I've been messing around with Meshtastic recently:
Understood - so far I just have 2 lilygo modules that can send/recieve but I want to build a couple more... I want to 2d print one of the iPhone magsafe ones that sticks to your phone, and the blackberry one w/ the keyboard.
try it out. I just have an old WRT54G, but maybe I can put an antenna on it or something. Not sure if there's anyone close enough to mesh with
otherwise. Did you have to use any kind of external antenna? And are you using Ubiquity or something?
packets. I'm not sure if that kind of traffic is welcome on the network, so still pondering what exactly to do with this.
There's a list of supported hardware on the Meshtastic website, and for the most part you're just flashing one of their firmware builds onto your device
How about just checking # of unread emails and messages in bases marked for scanning?
any other station might observe these packets. Your BBS might think it has 1 unread messages for me, but maybe I've already seen 8 of them go out over th
can maybe know if you've read some message on a certain base, if it was after the last time you logged into that BBS. This would be kind of like a pre-login check that some boards let you do without having to fully "log
I grabbed a couple of Heltec v3 modules since they were the right combination of price, features, and fast delivery.
Sending a message like the one I'm typing now, however, would take
several packets. I'm not sure if that kind of traffic is welcome on the network, so I'm still pondering what exactly to do with this.
I know I'm a bit late to this conversation, but give MeshCom a look as well.
There's also broadband-hamnet.org which I may have been confusing with Meshtastic at first :D.
I got the impression (from comments I read somewhere) that BBHN was defunct. Is it still operating? Looks like there hasn't been any news on their website for 8 years, though that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
