To remind viewers of the components of the transceiver unit, I have reproduced Meshtastic’s own image and added some things that it leaves out.

Lined up properly, it would take fewer than 800 stations to completely span Afghanistan from a user on the southwest border to another user on the northeast border.

The task at hand is to get two Meshtastic-capable transceivers communicating with each other.

To do that:

In order to form a meshwork it is first necessary to connect two Meshtastic stations to each other.

Start with a new computer, tablet, smartphone, etc. Install a copy of Meshtastic on that device.

Assemble and power up a new Meshtastics transceiver.

The screen show “Communicating with device” while it is trying to set things up.

As soon as your pad, computer, or cell phone connects by Bluetooth with the new device it will show a screen with the newly acquired transceiver listed under “Available Radios.” You should click on the black dot next to your radio's designation.

The radio device wants my computer to copy some numbers from its little screen by typing them into the box next to “Passcode.”

As soon as you succeed in correctly typing the number displayed on the radio's view screen, the computer display will show the newly chosen unit as “Subscribed to mesh.”√

When the new radio and the new instance of Meshtastic software are finally set up, this is the kind of screen that you will see.
