LoRa Mesh Chat with an Adafruit Feather #Feather #Adafruit @hacksterio

Scott Powell posts on Hackster.io a project allowing a mobile phone to be tethered to a LoRa radio.

This is a fairly simple add-on for mobile phones to enable SMS-like messaging in a group when outside cell coverage, or in disaster scenarios. It utilises Semtech or Adafruit LoRa radios for low-power/long-range communications. There are a lot of hardware options, and I am still trying different devices and manufacturers, but for now this tutorial will show how to assemble and set up one of the following boards:

The companion app for this is called Ripple Messenger. Currently there is only an Android version, which you can download from the Play store: Ripple Messenger

You can see the full project description here.
