Enhance your Meshtastic nodes with top accessories: GY-NEO6MV2 GPS for accurate tracking, BME280 for environmental monitoring, GIZONT high-gain antenna for better range, EC11 potentiometer for easy controls, buzzer for audible alerts, and 18650 battery shield for improved power management
Open-source hardware and software that allows for Long Range (LoRa) radio communication via text message (and emoji). They can also create a mesh network (hence the name) to extend range and rout encrypted messages through the network.
Useful in the case of cell-network failure (emergency situations, power loss,etc), overloaded bandwidth or simply lack thereof. Or just completely secure communication.
