In this video we will be having a closer look at Meshtastic and LoRa. Now LoRa is a long range wireless communication method that I previously used around 5 years ago. Back then the selection of dev boards was limited and the available code and software was not the easiest. But now we get Meshtastic which apparently makes LoRa easy. Is that true? We will find out in this video by making my shed a bit more secure ;-) Let's get started!
