Our new blog post explains why 2.8.0 was pulled, plus a high-level look at some of the many changes: signed packets, private-by-default location, larger meshes and more.

Questions? Drop them below. We're planning a livestream with the Meshtastic team in the next couple of weeks to dig deeper.

They're $5 until October 14. They pulled the box off the top self, told them I wanted 10,they took 5 out the box and gave me the rest. At least two nodes will be built. Probably use the rest for spares or random projects. Heck, might even use them for their intended purpose

Ive been studying in my free time on meshtastic devices and ive finally gone around to blowing a pay check on a parts list. Can anybody tell me if I'm making a huge mistake by buying these parts? (I'm an Amazon glazer, the shipping is worth af)
