What is Meshtastic? (hackmas2026)

Author: CCC media team August 29, 2026 Duration: 35:13
In this session I want to give a short introduction to the open-source off-grid-communication project Meshtastic. I'm by no means an expert but I got interested in it a few months ago and want to answer the following questions in my talk: - What is the technology behind Meshtastic? - What can you do with it? - What do you need to participate? - How do I connect my typewriter to Meshtastic? I will bring some nodes to play with after the presentation. If there is enough interest and People already bring their own nodes to the event, let's also have a meetup!
