ChatterBox Device Types
Your secure mesh communication cluster can be made up of a couple of different device types. You are free to choose (and change) the makeup of your cluster.
Secure Mesh Communicators
Use ChatterBox communicators to send and receive encrypted messages, location data, and remote commands using your mesh cluster.
In the background, these also handle mesh packets between other devices in your cluster.
Secure Mesh Nodes
Nodes extend the range and resilience of your cluster. Any node you add is automatically sensed by other devices within your cluster.
Once a node is onboarded to your cluster, you just let it run in the background and it continuously learns how to make your cluster better.
Low Power Mesh Nodes
ChatterBox was originally designed to run on a lower power SAMD51 platform, with non-removable FRAM and other carefully selected components. These devices are fully compatible with other ChatterBox devices in your cluster.
By building a SAMD51 based node, you are able to add proximity sensors, relays, and more to your cluster.
Documentation for these is being update regularly. This will be a focal point of future developments, as the SAMD51 node is likely going to be the go-to hardware platform for ChatterBox.
These are not yet available for purchase, but you are free to build them (nodes are license-free, communicators require a license).
