This Saturday we'll be covering the 915 MHz Meshtastic radios and their use in a large network. If you've purchased the Heltec units that I've described or many of the other LoRa radios they need to be programmed with the Meshtastic firmware before use. This is pretty simple following the instructions on the flasher.meshtastic.org web page, plugging the unit into your Windows computer (I don't know about other types of computers) with a USB-C DATA cable and following the steps on that web page. If you don't want to do that I'll be at the clubhouse on Saturday by around 8:30 and can get as many flashed as possible before the session starts. We'll also be focused on the phone-based software that uses a Bluetooth connection so you may want to download and install the Meshtastic app for your iOS or Android device in advance of the session.
