I’m a Meshcore user in Raleigh, NC and I’m trying to use Meshcore to stay connected to my tweenager without resorting to the expense and drama of a cell phone. I just want this community to exist so we can talk, I don’t really want to mod it. Let me know if you do!

I'd like to discuss things like: Firmware for parents with things like locking out the Public channel

Device experiences

Identifying needed resources and documentation

Discussing things like getting a group of friends in a neighbordhood/school to start a mesh

If you don’t want to mod but just have suggestions about what you’d like to see here, those are welcome too! Happy meshing/parenting!

    Hello K3LOE just wanted to drop in and say hi. As you know I give my child in occasion a lilygo t-pager. No cell yet, too young for that.

    I would love to talk more about this! I’m a software developer turned stay-at-home mom who has been developing devices from off-the-shelf parts for my children. I currently have one that uses text via an e-paper display, and another that uses voice in a push-to-talk format.

      Very cool! So your texting device is regular SMS but that’s all it does? Would be interested to hear more about how you made them if you’d like to make a post about it!
