Hackerspace Nijmegen has a Meshtastic node. It is configured to connect to the space WiFi.
The goal is to have a node that prints all received messages to a display in the hackerspace.
Status: node should be 24/7 online with the name 'Hackerspace Nijmegen', or short 'HSN'. We can succesfully read incoming messages with a python script on a machine on the same WiFi network, but don't do this continuously yet.
