    Thanks for creating. Meshtastic and LoRa seem to have so much potential.
  • Thank you so much for this series. Top-tier quality content, videography and editing.
  • @hooks4638
    This is a good series. Looking forward to the advanced series. Good work as always.
  • @moss-ccw7971
    Thank you very much for these videos. I've learned more from these, than everything else I've read and watched over the past year.

    I've watched all your Meshtastic centered videos, some of them multiple times, and they are all excellent. You provide answers and solutions. One note on using the Meshtastic Flasher. If you already have a second drive in your computer that you are flashing from, there is no apparent way to change the target drive from D: which is incorrect, to E: for example. Perhaps you have the ear of the programmers at Meshtastic and suggest a fix. Thanks for all your videos, and I always look forward to the next one.

    Great video! Can't wait for the FAQ video!
  • @GH0ST369
    Thanks for the info. Good video as usual.

    Thanks! I ordered some cheap halter units from China and am looking forward to trying these out.
  • @yamez69
    Thanks for this. A video for off grid install is needed by the Meshtastic community. Utilizing firmware storage and CLI flashing with an APK/IOS installation is in order.

    Nice, i'm waiting for more !!!! Meshtastic is one of my fun project !!! I build a robot node to able send command to the node like !ping, !weather, !news and having a python application attach to it.

    I acquired my T-echo 2 weeks ago unfortunately I have serious issues with firmware upgrading. Never done a firmware upgrade on a device before. I spent hours and dozens of attempts to upgrade firmware with no success. far beyond my tech skills as it turns out. I am disappointed. Even local computer facilities couldn't help me. Im sending it back. I wish future devices were far more user friendly.
  • Great series, thank you so much. I’m a little confused about the channels, could you do a video on that topic? I mean if the default channel is Long/Fast and I set up a second channel also on Long/Fast are they the same channel? Thanks ❤
  • Love this, Thanks for making this! Is it possible to add GPIO switching/indication? e.g. I push a button on one node and a light or buzzer on another node lights/sounds?

    Have the TBeam, and no issues. Saw your video and ordered a T-ECHO. It seams to have a dead screen. No data, no backlight. Contacted LILYGO, and the keep wanting to have me load the test firmware to test the radio is sending and receiving. Ha ha… I would know cause there is no screen functioning. So far, T- Beam is superior until LILYGO can offer a unit that works and I can prove different. Funny thing is my issue that I reported to them had nothing to do with the radio, but who knows maybe 85% of the unit might not work.
