All code in Trail Mate is 100% generated by AI under human guidance. The project itself is a long-term experiment in human–AI collaboration for real engineering systems.

I thought meshcore.wasn't focused on positioning systems and that meshtastic is more suited for that application?

Also meshcore isn't focused on adhoc mesh networks.

Meshcore relies on well placed repeaters which means better planning.

If you have 3-4 groups you'll need a few repeaters.

Meshtastic everyone is a repeater by default.
