Hi ya'll,

So I helped out a bit on Casainho's cool open-source ebike project. But recently I've been working on a new project that might be useful for some of ya'll. It is a software stack that runs on low end ESP32 GPS+LORA radios from China. It is like those closed source 'digital/pager/GPS gizmos' for hikers/skiers etc... but a) really cheap, b) longer range and c) extensible. If you are interested in playing with this idea, I'd love to have you use it (or codevelop it ;)).

Here's the root link for the crummy website I just made with github pages:

http://www.meshtastic.org/

Any feedback/ideas/comments would be appreciated.
 
A minor update: It seems to be working pretty well, about 80 users and not too many crashes ;). Would love more users or co-developers.
