Off-Grid Comms: Exploring Meshtastic & LoRa Networks

Welcome to the DC215 Meetup at Iffy Books! This month, we’re having a redo of our Meshtastic talk! Join us while we dive into Meshtastic and LoRa nodes, a powerful off-grid communication system that lets you send messages without Wi-Fi or cell service. Whether you're a seasoned radio geek or just curious about mesh networks, come learn how these devices work, how to set them up, and how they can be used for emergency communication, hiking, and more. We'll have a limited number of Heltec LoRa nodes for sale ($35) so bring your gear if you have it, or just come to listen and connect with the Philly tech community! Don’t miss this chance to explore LoRa networks in action and build real-world resilience through technology! Please bring a laptop if you're looking to flash your nodes or play around with any Meshtastic web apps.
