I was able to put this together because of your work: https://github.com/jrl290/RNodeTHV4

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing @jrl290 . This is exactly what motivates the work.

It is a beautiful thing that's going on here

I also intend to make a firmware for this cheap solar node. Again using mostly your work: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809162191474.html

And I've mostly converted the python libraries to Rust. They will be employed in native Android and iOS chat apps with group support

I'll open source all of it when its reasonably ready for production

Hey @jrl290 I noticed you have some patches to microReticulum noted in the README of your project. Those seem reasonable and beneficial so if you want to submit PRs for your changes, I'll review and merge them into the library.

If you are able to do this, note that I prefer contributions be submitted as separate pull requests, each focused on a single feature, fix, or major change, rather than combining multiple updates into one large PR. Smaller, focused PRs are much easier to review, test, and merge, and they help keep the project history clean and understandable.

Thanks and kudos again for your work.

Hey @attermann, yes I have been finding some improvements to be made, and have made notes on them. I'll be honest that I'm not super well versed with open source community practices. I'm not even really well versed with git or writing firmware. App design is what I have been doing for the past 15 years and only as a side hustle.

The additional code is being vibe coded. And there is more to debug to get things where they should be. I'm working on it now. And then I'll focus on the updates to be made to your code. I know giving back to repos is important and I definitely will do so
