I’ve created a webpage to act as a beginner’s guide with a brief overview of Meshtastic and step-by-step guide for taking the most straight-forward route in terms of hardware and other aspects.
I not much of a hardware person and encountered a couple issues when ordering and getting setup with everything. I thought something formatted this way would’ve helped me a fair bit.
This is also a reflection of my own understanding of how things work currently; I’m curious if others would have any feedback or I missed anything.
Wow - that is amazing and super polished! In fact, if you want to add a prominent link to that from docs/README.md (which is what generates www.meshtastic.org) I would eagerly merge such a PR.
Or if you prefer you merge that into that into a docs/gettingstarted directory (if you don’t want to host it long term)
Thanks! And certainly. That was my first PR, so I hope I did it right (I’m a designer, not really a developer).
Unfortunately, the page isn’t Github friendly since it’s using Wordpress and the Divi theme. Although, I have access to free shared hosting and plan on keeping it up indefinitely.
great job
proper documentation is paramount. a how-to for the fw installation and this page should be the starting point for any beginner, no matter what level.
hmm - I didn’t see a pull-request come in. Here’s a good tutorial. You’ll want to fork, clone, edit docs/README.md, then push, then click send a pull request (see link for what these terms mean).
(I’m happy to do this also - but I figured you might like the github karma points or learn github this way )
