Meshcore guides

There are two ways of configuring a Meshcore device, and so we have two guides:

  • a companion guide: this a "client" to the mesh, that needs a repeater to relay messages, but that is the primary interface to send and receive messages

  • a repeater guide: this is the "relay" in the mesh, which transmits messages between clients and repeaters and other clients and repeaters

If you're just getting started, try a setting up a companion. You'll need a companion even if you setup a repeater.

If you want can't see anyone, want to extend the mesh, try setting up a repeater. See also the question Should I install a relay? in the FAQ.
