By the way lorapipe is now called MeshTNC!
We recently noticed we had a naming conflict with an older project so we renamed ours.
MeshTNC is the new name we settled on and both the old and the new project link below should get you to the right place 👇🏿

Finally setup the github builder and now there's pre-release lorapipe firmware available for download!
We're building 79 different variants so testing on your favorite LoRa devices is highly encouraged!
All of @meph 's work on #lorapipe is under MIT license.
Features like APRS over LoRa and Ethernet over LoRa serve some interesting niches we're not likely to monetize.
More than anything we want lorapipe to be a rapid prototyping tool for LoRa solutions. It's key for this to be as free and open as we can make it and I hope these features demonstrate our direction.
We'd appreciate donations towards the effort so we can knockout lorapipe v1.
Over the weekend @meph added some mind blowing new features to lorapipe.
- APRS over LoRa
- Ethernet over LoRa

The first new tool is lorapipe, a firmware that runs on most consumer LoRa radios.
We've tested it a ton on ESP32-S3 based Xiao Wio boards.
This turns your lora radio into extremely minimal serial device that sends and receives packets in a dirt simple CSV format.
The radio can be tuned on the fly to switch between meshcore, meshtastic and LoRaWAN sync words and frequencies.
I've been busy as hell this past week.
A lot of people have been asking hard questions about the security of LoRa systems when they hear about mesh radios.
I'm not one to trust the marketing so I and several friends put together two new LoRa tools to help us audit the security claims of LoRa mesh systems!

@sturlabragason Nice to meet you, Sturla! You are absolutely right that I find that concept very interesting! I've played around with #LoRa a lot, from writing #lorapipe to using Meshtastic. Fascinating technology! I hadn't heard of #MulteFire before. What advantages would LTE in 5GHz offer over Wifi in the same band?
@deadparrot Hello! I'm a #rust/#rustlang person. Been using it at work for several years, and also have several crates out there. #Filespooler https://www.complete.org/filespooler/ is my most recent project. I'm also behind #xbnet and #lorapipe, which can tunnel TCP/IP or other data down #XBee SX or #LoRA long-distance radios.
