MeshCore is a lightweight, portable C++ library that enables multi-hop packet routing for embedded projects using LoRa and other packet radios. It is designed for developers who want to create resilient, decentralized communication networks that work without the internet.

MeshCore now supports a range of LoRa devices, allowing for easy flashing without the need to compile firmware manually. Users can flash a pre-built binary using tools like Adafruit ESPTool and interact with the network through a serial console. MeshCore provides the ability to create wireless mesh networks, similar to Meshtastic and Reticulum but with a focus on lightweight multi-hop packet routing for embedded projects. Unlike Meshtastic, which is tailored for casual LoRa communication, or Reticulum, which offers advanced networking, MeshCore balances simplicity with scalability, making it ideal for custom embedded solutions., where devices (nodes) can communicate over long distances by relaying messages through intermediate nodes. This is especially useful in off-grid, emergency, or tactical situations where traditional communication infrastructure is unavailable.

MeshCore is designed for use with:

• Heltec V3 LoRa Boards
• RAK4631
• XiaoS3 WIO (sx1262 combo)
• XiaoC3 (plus external sx126x module)
• LilyGo T3S3
• Heltec T114
• Station G2

An ALPHA grade bulletin board system (BBS) implementation for Reticulum networks. RetiBBS allows users to communicate through message boards in a secure manner. User authentication and authorization with Reticulum. Multiple message boards support. User display names. Admin privileges for board management. Simple text-based command interface

I wonder if it could be run over Veilid.

It's hard to find good information on APRS. A web search produces mostly outdated misinformation and little of value. This is the beginning of a collection of the essential documentation.

Club meetings and ham conventions are always looking for speakers. There was nothing about APRS during the 2024 Dayton forums. Suppose you wanted to give an APRS presentation at a club meeting or ham convention. But... It's a big job. You are not sure where to start and would like to use / adapt something already done rather than starting from nothing. Where can you find suitable presentations? I’ve tried searching and could not find much that was worthwhile. I’m throwing this out as a challenge to the APRS community. Please help to make a list of the best presentations that others could use.

There is some very good material out there, but how can the newcomer find it among all the clutter? This is a crowd-sourced list of the best resources for a beginner. I need YOUR help to find the best resources.

Paracon is a packet radio terminal for Linux, Mac and Windows. It is focused on simplicity and ease of use, and incorporates the core functionality that most packet users need without trying to include all of the bells and whistles that few would use.

Multiple simultaneous AX.25 connected mode sessions, allowing for connections to multiple BBS or other remote nodes. Unproto (UI, or datagram) AX.25 mode, allowing for keyboard-to-keyboard chat or other non-connected uses. Text-based console application looks and behaves the same on all supported platforms (Linux, Mac, Windows). Uses the AGWPE protocol to communicate with any server implementing that protocol. Tested and supported with Direwolf, ldsped and AGWPE. Self-contained executable requires only a Python installation to run, without the need to install any additional dependencies.

Atmega328p based 1200 Baud AFSK radio modem.

Minimal Hardware IP over VHF/UHF Radio using RpiTx and RTLSDR. Currently sends test frames from a Pi to a x86 laptop with a RTLSDR V3 (M1). Currently building up an integrated rtl_sdr/fsk_demod receiver appplication (M2). The "Pirate radio RasPi" project can probably be used instead.
