archy-messh

Research + firmware project exploring a single LoRa device that can speak, relay, and repeat between three independent mesh networking protocols:

  • Meshtastic
  • MeshCore
  • Reticulum (via RNode-style modem firmware)

Goal: one ESP32-based device that acts as a tri-protocol repeater/bridge — not a fork of any single project, and not affiliated with or dependent on the archy (Archipelago) codebase. This repo is intentionally standalone.

Status

Architecture phase done — see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the protocol research, hardware constraints (target: Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V3), and phased plan. Phase 0 (host-side bridge across 3 separate stock-firmware boards) is written — see host-bridge/ — but not yet hardware-tested; no LoRa boards have been attached to the dev machine this was written on.

Layout

  • docs/ — protocol research notes and architecture/design docs
  • host-bridge/ — Phase 0: Python bridge relaying text between real Meshtastic/MeshCore/RNode-Reticulum boards over each project's official client protocol
  • firmware/ — Phase 1+ embedded firmware (once Phase 0 is validated on hardware)
  • hardware/ — reference hardware notes / board selection

Non-goals (for now)

  • Not reimplementing any of the three protocols from scratch in v1
  • Not targeting non-ESP32 hardware initially
  • Not touching/depending on the archy (Archipelago) repo in any way
