<div>Yes ESP32 is very much like the 8266<br><br>If I were you, I would get a couple of the TTGO boards listed as supported and do some experiments with those. <a href="https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/wiki/Devices--&-Hardware">https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/wiki/Devices--&-Hardware</a><br>Once flashed, they should be able to enable comms over the android apps / web interface.<br><br>Meshtastic might be good too, and you aren't locked in. I believe these can be reflashed with Meshtastic's firmware.<br><br>Looks like the enclosure that was recommended from Aliexpress is gone, but there are designs in the hardware subfolder which are 3d printable. Other than that, I imagine any old thing you bolt these devices into will work. Even an Altoids mint container.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Sep 23, 2021, 01:27 by mitra@mitra.biz:<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><p>Hi (sorry dont have a name for you)<br></p><p>Understood - and challenge of course is that its hard to get
involved if there is noone there to help onboard. <br></p><p>There is interest in disaster resilient comms here in Australia
and I'm involved with some of the resilience work (in a
non-technical capacity), I've also worked with ESP8266's before
and I believe the ESP32 is similar. <br></p><p>Disaster.radio looks like a more appropriate solution for
disaster setups than meshtastic, the typical use case I'm
interested in, is as an alternative to the net when the net goes
down, so connecting an existing device via to a wifi access point
makes more sense than assuming everyone has a mesh device and
connects to it on Bluetooth (which I think is the meshtastic
architecture). I also like the idea of a web-app because the
maintenance becomes something many people can contribute to, and
it should work with any device. <br></p><p>Can you clarify what the current state is - i.e. if I got the
boards, built a pair of units, and flashed it - then would the
chat and map apps talk over it. If I can get to that step I can
probably demonstrate it to some other technical people and get
people enthused to collaborate, if I can't get it to that step its
going to be much harder and rely on me having a decent chunk of
time to contribute before getting anyone involved. <br></p><p>By the way ... I notice there is a bad link to the enclosure on <a href="https://disaster.radio/build/" class="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://disaster.radio/build/</a> which goes to <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000429348282.html?spm=0.8937489.0.0.10992e0eaAUWs6" class="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000429348282.html?spm=0.8937489.0.0.10992e0eaAUWs6</a> which doesnt exist. Do you know of another source for enclosures. <br></p><p>- Mitra<br></p><p><br></p><div class="">On 23/9/21 10:49 am, Code Bus wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>The project lacks a maintainer with enough time to really

Perhaps you can tell us why you're interested and what you'd like to see
as highest priority.
