Hey @_kernelcon_ attendees that built @TheMeshtastic nodes in the hardware hacking village...this is a great read!
📡 Does your #meshtastic mesh have 60 nodes, high traffic, or is an urban area? If so, you may have outgrown the default LongFast modem preset. Learn when and why to switch for better performance. 🔗 Check out our latest blog post: meshtastic.org/blog/why-your… #LoRa #MeshNetworking
