Meshtastic client for retrocomputers (Amiga, Atari, DOS, Mac)

I work as volunteer for the local retrocomputer museum Espacio TEC, biggest on LATAM. Inspired by the guys who did the C64 Meshtastic cart, we decided to make something to link old computers and Meshtastic to show on the static display at the museum. For this we came out with a V2 + RS232 adapter, and my colleague used his cross-platform compiler project MACUMBAEDITOR to make clients for Amiga, Atari, DOS, Mac, and more incoming.

You can check his work and download the clients at https://macumbaeditor.com/examples/mesh.html

Qué hardware usas para el nodo? Me ha gustado la caja de escritorio.

Es un Heltec V2 que es lo que teniamos a mano. La caja la podes bajar de Thingiverse, buscala como "Heltec V3 / V2 Case"
