Not a video, but this guide is a really good place to start: https://meshtastic.letstalkthis.com

Also reading through this forum is a great resource. Everyone here is super friendly and happy to help. So feel free to ask more questions!

Out of interest, what sort of stuff would you like to have in video format?

I’m very much a “I want to read text based docs with diagrams of pictures where helpful” kind of learner rather than a youtube video learner. I find the website/wiki, and this forum (and the github source code) extremely good, but I do know other people are much more visual and much much prefer video tutorial type stuff. I’m just not sure what would go into a good “video to learn about and how to use Meshtastic” video (or set of videos).

As somebody who’s somehow heard of Meshtastic, been interested enough to find this discourse and join in - what’re the big questions in your head right now? What is is that we could “help please” for you?
