Welcome to our Meshtastic for Makers Course, a short 1-hour series of videos where we teach you how to use the LoRa and Meshtastic network to wirelessly send data with microcontrollers. We will be covering everything from, what Meshtastic is, how to set up appropriate frequencies and channels, how to send sensor data, how to control hardware with the network, and also how to connect the network to an MQTT broker. This is a little bit of an unorthodox use of the Meshtastic network, but it is one of the best ways we have found to send data over long distances in a maker project, so stick around and let's get started!
