Config

Install the app

The Meshtastic app — Android, Apple, Web, or the Python CLI. See https://meshtastic.org.

Pair & set region

Pair the node over Bluetooth (or USB) and set your region to the camp's region. The default preset is LongFast; match whatever the camp is using.

Join a channel

Meshtastic shares channels by QR code / channel URL — scanning one applies the channel and all LoRa settings in a single step. If the camp posts a Meshtastic QR, use it (ask the Mesh Nest); otherwise the default public channel is fine for peer chat.

No services run here. This is the explicit, load-bearing note: the camp provides a Meshtastic repeater for coverage and nothing else — no bots, no AI host, no schedule feed. For services, use Meshcore.

Camp Meshtastic specifics (region / QR), if any: TBC — team-supplied. The stacks are parallel; no bridges between Meshtastic, Meshcore and Reticulum.
