My goal is to help Makers of all skill levels to find the information that they need to be successful in bringing their creations and ideas to life. This site contains a blog with posting of what I worked on the previous week, what I plan to work on this week, and things that I’ve found interesting in the world of making and hacking. I may occasionally dive into other topics. I hope you find the information in the blogs interesting and would like to get your feedback. Please let me know what things you find interesting.
In addition to the blog posts, there are detailed project builds. These pages will be created and updated over time. The intent of the project pages is to provide step by step guides on how I put my projects together. Please comment if you run into any problems or find errors in the project pages.

In this part of the Meshtastic with Raspberry Pi (Serial) series, we will be installing Meshtastic to the LilyGo T-Beam devices. We will then create a Meshtastic Channel on one LilyGo T-Beam and replicate the channel to the other LilyGo T-Beam. We will then wire the Raspberry Pi and LilyGo T-Beam devices. Install Meshtastic Firmware…
