In this video, I take you through the process of creating a Meshtastic node that transmits real-time telemetry data using the BME280 Environmental Monitor.
Join me as I guide you step-by-step through the entire project, from soldering connections to the setup of the ESP32 Heltec node.
What You'll Learn:
Hands-On Soldering: Watch as I demonstrate the soldering process, ensuring a secure connection between the BME280 sensor and the Meshtastic node.
Live Telemetry Data: See the telemetry data in action! I’ll show you how the sensor data is displayed in the Meshtastic app, allowing for easy monitoring of environmental conditions.
