Hey all,
I’m looking to get into meshtastic and have done some preliminary research on maps and devices, but I don’t have a programming background. I was thinking a complete build would be the best way to start, and even saw the super sleek t-display p4 recently. I like the idea of not having to use my phone with a node. Use case scenario would be with another person as a communication device while hiking, as well as building out our local connections for fun and preparedness. Anything I’m not considering here, or advice? Thanks!
