Meshtastic

• I spent the weekend trying to change my Nebra Helium Miner to me a Meshtastic node, but ran into a few issues.
  • The LoRa radio used in the Helium miner does not work with Meshtastic, so I removed the Bluetooth USB adapter to free a port, then connected my Heltec WiFi LoRa 32(V3), ESP32S3 + SX1262 LoRa Node, Meshtastic and LoRaWAN Compatible board there instead. I reflashed a microSD Card with Raspbian (Ubuntu Server wasn’t booting for me) to use with the included Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+, which had the hardware on the connected boards working (mainly just cared if the USB ports & Ethernet port worked).
  • I spent a few hours between meshtastic & meshtasticd & while I got meshtastic working fine, i could not get meshtasticd to see the Heltec board. I gave up on that for now, & just left use of meshtastic CLI & configured the board with the Meshtastic app.
  • So, will see how this plays out moving forward… i was trying to get it setup so that I could be managing the Heltec board right from the CM3+, but in the end i still needed to use the app for the config.
