Meshtastic support for SmartCitize

Hi,

I have seen that you are working on a Meshtastic firmware for Smartcitizen. But I was wondering, what hardware will you use? As far as I can see V2.3 is based on SAMD21 microcontroller which is not supported by Meshtastic.

Thank you!

Hi @ivan.arakistain

Thanks for the message! Yes, we are working on the meshtastic firmware, but we are going to move away from current hardware options. Ideally, we will use the ESP32-S3 for WiFi devices, together with the SZ1262 for LoRa. There may be some cases where WiFi is not needed and that we make (or co-make) a board with a NRF chip, with bluetooth only to save power.

In case you are interested, this is where we are working on: GitHub - fablabbcn/smartcitizen-meshtastic: This repository contains (a fork of) the official firmware for Meshtastic, an open-source, off-grid mesh communication system.
