Meshtastic Was Broken, So We Fixed It With 2.5

It's Meshtastic 2.5! There's a boatload of exciting features, so let's cover some of them!

I though meshtastic was dying but then these guys out do themselves with a massive update ...love your work team 👏

[blueskies_solutions]

[_Zipper_]

Thank you JP for picking up #1509 and getting this new PR merged. Appreciate your work!

As a new owner of a Meshtastic device this is exciting, and it's only slightly dampened by me not having found any other Meshtastic users near me yet. lol

[mkpickle]

Very Cool, I cant wait to try this version!

[ChrisMyers]

Great video as always 👏. This is exciting news for sure! Thank you to all the devs involved

[morbidpete]

Very cool. Love the implementation of user defaults, as I start deploying in my state this will be clutch! Appreciate you and the devs!

It would be nice if you would help beginners put together a system kind of a regular mid range system not too pricey, but give us some options. Show us how it works. There’s a lot of beginners out here, but not one person has actually shown us how it works using your phone, and connecting the parts together

Is there a possibility to mark some node as supernode for example on an hill top or a tall building giving them more priority. And also a configuration were i have two site far away, in each site one node with omnidirectional antenna and a directional to the other site and the two node are connected not by the mesh but via a wire (like serial or spi) and maybe the direct link working on another frequency to free and some rf band?

[maizenbrot]

This is major for remote admin, the PSK setup has been a serious headache since getting physical access to one remote node and connecting it via serial will usually give the attacker access to the PSK and then be able to compromise the entire network using that same admin channel.

Things are sounding good! Thanks to all the hardworking developers that work on this fantastic product. I've now got, I believe 9 devices for when, excuse me, I mean 'if' something really bad happens. Things are going so amazing well however, I could never imagine that. 😵‍💫

Thanks for the update, and hopefully Garth figures out his shirt "issues." lol

I Mesh, therefore, I am.

[Hebdomad]

You and your team are doing some amazing stuff. Thank you!!

Installed firmware, first bug I noted was when you set a fix position it will not save it, even after a wipe and flash the firmware. This is using the Android app on the Heltec V3 board.

[NexGen-D]

Awesome work, I just flashed 2.5 on some of my devices, I didn't realise that this encryption was implemented, I will have to have a play and see how well it works, on a side note, what we also need is an improved app for both Android and IOS, they are both very clunky and quite different to use, scanning QR codes on IOS is completely missing, instead I have to create the network on the IOS app and scan into the Android app, if I was a dev I'd help, maybe you guys could charge a small fee for the IOS app to help fund the development of both apps?

Thanks for your work on this and the video.

Thanks, nice snappy video, I sub'd. RIP Billy.

[heartpilotOB]

Thanks for a great video. New sub here. Been using meshtastic since before 2022. I’m no programmer here but was able to follow though. Any chance there be videos showing exactly what you’re saying? For noobs like me. More power!

[Tobi-Wahn]

[horsthacker]

please do the Meshtastic encryption deep dive 👍
