I’ve been exploring the idea of building a lightweight, terminal-based Meshtastic client for small screens. Someone in the #MSPMesh community suggested I check out Contact, and I have to say this is the dope shiznit on the uConsole:
Contact uses emoji symbols in its TUI. If you see blank boxes instead, you need emoji fonts installed: sudo apt update && sudo apt install fonts-noto-color-emoji fonts-unifont && fc-cache -f
Wow, I just tested it out for a few mins and that’s really neat. I’m also going to be using it with my server with a node connected over USB to have a “Chat Log” that doesn’t go away. I currently have a spare phone to do that task but this is a better solution and I can’t access it remotely.
Wow, that sounds awesome! I just checked it out too, really cool how it works with connected nodes. It’s great seeing projects like this improving communication setups
