Setting Up a Secure Off-Grid Mesh Communication / Location Cluster on T-Deck Plus with ChatterBox

[@x81reaper]

sir,sorry but what is the difference about chatterbox an meshtastic ?

[@mattcalhoun61]

well, it's a good question I get so often, i decided to write a quick article about it this morning. I hate to call it "VS" because they're not really in opposition, just different and have different goals/strengths: www.offgridcomms.club/help/chatterbox-vs-meshtastic/

Do you have any plans to add a Chinese version, I'm hesitating to buy multiple licenses.

@@yangzheng3214 I would like to, but currently the protocol is based on ASCII and I need to understand differences between Chinese language encodings and ASCII. I have not yet had the time to research that.

@@mattcalhoun61 Awesome, I'm glad you put this into your project list, this will definitely be a great idea, as long as it supports sending messages in Chinese, I'm sure it'll bring in a lot of users, hopefully this will come to fruition soon, I'm planning on purchasing a couple of licenses to start with and keep an eye on the project's progress, good luck with the project!
