@geeksville you seem to have unlimited creativity and energy. This seems like a very interesting project…
Does this have anything to do with the new interesting board you hint about?
hehehe! not really that device. But more a different device described here: Support PineTab? · Issue #7 · meshtastic/meshtastic · GitHub (supposedly I’ll receive this tablet late next week)
More context/reasons for why I’m working on this for the next few days in this recent update (mainly I want to be able to simulate / stress test meshes but using the real software):
So would you also emulate the lora chip or would it be attached to the unix machine?
In the simulation case we’d emulate everything.
In the pinetab case they have a sx1276 connected via a SPI to USB chip. I’ll write a little ‘driver’ for that usb-spi chip. So the rest of meshtastic can just run as a Linux process.
Any instructions for running Meshtastic in Linux with USB LoRa sticks?
