Update WinTAK Gateway

Here is a short update on my WinTAK Meshtastic Gateway Plugin (https://github.com/fredy060795/WinTAK-Meshtastic-Gateway-Meshtastic-WinTAK-Plugin-).
I have successfully managed to display markers from Meshtastic that originate from ITAK or ATAK. Unfortunately, there is still a bug with ITAK where the markers are not being displayed correctly. I will solve this with further research, but I am very glad that WinTAK can now receive and send CoT via Meshtastic to ATAK

Meshtastic ATAK-ITAK Maker COT dosnt work only Text & GPS

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding Meshtastic in ATAK and iTAK. I'm running into an issue where I can't seem to send markers correctly. While text messages and positions are working fine, markers are not being transmitted—specifically from iTAK to ATAK using the plugins.

Because of this, I'm also unable to get it working within the WinTAK Gateway. Does anyone have any ideas on what I might be doing wrong or how to fix this?

Thanks for your help!

I need Help with WinTAK-Meshtastic-Gateway-Meshtastic-WinTAK-Plugin

(EDIT 13.05.2026 I fixt it now i can send Text but not COT perfect so makers will send as Text key chain and not COT so i need to dig in)

Hello everyone, I need your help. I developed the WinTAK-Meshtastic Gateway (https://github.com/fredy060795/WinTAK-Meshtastic-Gateway-Meshtastic-WinTAK-Plugin-) and I am currently trying to implement sending CoT (Cursor on Target) and Chat messages.

Receiving data works perfectly, but outgoing data from WinTAK does not reach the Mesh. Does anyone know which specific port is responsible for this, or could someone take a look at the repository? Thank you.

Meshtastic is killing EUD Handler

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed the following issue and it’s extremely annoying: My OTS server keeps hanging/getting stuck at the EUD handler whenever I use Meshtastic for CoT with more than 47 users. Without Mesh, it runs for days without issues; with Mesh, I have to reboot every 5 hours. Does anyone have any idea why the hell this is happening?

Hi everyone, I need help. I have a Heltec v1.1 with fixed GPS, but no matter how I configure it, it doesn't receive anything. Even when I use the external GPS pin, nothing happens. I have GPIO TX on 33, RX on 34, and EN (3|6=). The board gets stuck in boot mode. The board keeps restarting. Do you have any ideas? It's so frustrating that it's not working.

Hello everyone!

I'm an RTO at HQ in Milsims and wanted to ask what you use to create documentation or keep track of situational awareness. I've built a small script where I can log events outside of battle tracking in Atak:
