About
Welcome Beginners and Experts Alike
We will begin the event with a focus on going through the basics about meshcore/meshtastic and why it's a growing, useful technology in the city. This event is sponsored by Seeedstudio, we will have 15 developer kits and 6 full kits to test out.
Feel free to bring your own kits and cyber-nodes, and share your repeaters, or home-built setups with the mesh community. This event will have a "building 101 component" so make sure to bring a laptop if you want to build along.
This is an all-ages event, we encourage you to bring your family members and friends to learn together. We hope to make this event a full one so please reserve a ticket so we can plan accordingly :)

Location
Organizer
There is no shortage of privacy hardware, mesh radios, self-hosting gear, or off-grid power equipment available online. What is missing is a place that makes any of it accessible to the people who need it most.
The communities built around this hardware are knowledgeable, passionate, and almost entirely self-selecting. You already have to know what you are looking for to find it. The person who does not know the difference between LoRa and LoRaWAN, who has never heard of GrapheneOS, who just knows their phone feels like it knows too much about them — that person has nowhere to go. No trusted starting point. No plain-language guide. No curated shelf of gear that has been tested by someone who will answer their questions.
That is the gap Tuttle Supply is built to fill.
