## Meshcore + Fork = Meck
## Meshcore + Fork = Meck
This fork was created specifically to focus on enabling BLE companion firmware for the LilyGo T-Deck Pro v1.1. Created with the assistance of Claude AI using Meshcore v1.11 code.
***Please note as of 28 Jan 2026, the T-Deck Pro v1.1 repeater & usb firmware has not been finalised nor confirmed as functioning. This firmware also will likely not work on v1.0 of the T-Deck Pro, as the two versions have different pins.***

MeshCore is a lightweight, portable C++ library that enables multi-hop packet routing for embedded projects using LoRa and other packet radios. It is designed for developers who want to create resilient, decentralized communication networks that work without the internet.
## 🔍 What is MeshCore?
## What is MeshCore?
MeshCore now supports a range of LoRa devices, allowing for easy flashing without the need to compile firmware manually. Users can flash a pre-built binary using tools like Adafruit ESPTool and interact with the network through a serial console.
MeshCore provides the ability to create wireless mesh networks, similar to Meshtastic and Reticulum but with a focus on lightweight multi-hop packet routing for embedded projects. Unlike Meshtastic, which is tailored for casual LoRa communication, or Reticulum, which offers advanced networking, MeshCore balances simplicity with scalability, making it ideal for custom embedded solutions., where devices (nodes) can communicate over long distances by relaying messages through intermediate nodes. This is especially useful in off-grid, emergency, or tactical situations where traditional communication infrastructure is unavailable.
