Rexburg Meshtastic and MeshCore
The BYU-I Amateur Radio Society is experimenting with Meshtastic and MeshCore! These are low-power, long-range mesh radio networks using LoRa devices to support off-grid communication. They are open for all to use and most nodes are designed to continue working in emergencies and extended power outages.
How to Get Involved
- Purchase a supported LoRa radio (many of our members go with the Heltec V3 or RAK 4631), or check one out at one of our weekly meetings
- Flash the latest Meshtastic or MeshCore firmware
- For Meshtastic: Change your Modem Preset to MediumFast, save, then change your Frequency Slot to 51. Then, change your Channel 0 name to Freq51 and the key to 1A==
- For MeshCore: Set your radio preset to United States and you're good to go!
- Join our Discord to get help, share your setup, and connect with us
- Get your node on the map (if it's stationary) by letting us know about it
