RetiMesh Node, a LoRa bridge without the laptop
Open-source firmware turns an ESP32-and-LoRa board into a standalone Reticulum transport node that links ordinary Wi-Fi devices to a long-range mesh.
Field notes
RetiMesh embeds microReticulum, a C++ port of RNS, directly in ESP32 firmware and enables transport behavior normally associated with rnsd. The page describes separate Wi-Fi and radio tasks communicating through non-blocking FreeRTOS ring buffers, with packet loss preferred over stalling radio timing. Its stated coverage includes nine boards, three LoRa radio families, four Reticulum clients, and up to 24 automatically discovered peers.
