Yay! Now you can enjoy the 8543 device roles Meshtastic has to offer, and see the static position and battery level eating away at airtime utilization.

How exciting!

Meshtastic is a bad protocol developed by toxic people in way over their heads.

Beware of using their trademark! They’ll send you a cease and desist letter.

You seemed to have made an account just for this reply. Care to explain the cynicism? I’m out of the loop with the toxicity.

It's much easier to call some protocol "bad design", after the fact, than to develop something yourself.

Also Meshtastic codebase is the awful mess - one of the many examples when Arduinoslop became something bigger than quick prototype.
