Thanks for attending my Meshtastic talk at Ham Radio University!
I know this was a lot of information in a short amount of time, so this page is here as a follow-up. Everything below is meant to help you continue learning at your own pace — from picking hardware to finding documentation and community resources.
Take what’s useful, ignore what isn’t, and most importantly: have fun experimenting.
If you have any questions or just want to chat, please do not hesitate to reach out at Daniel@W2DIY.com and I would love to nerd out about Meshtastic and all things radio!
