The radio is a LoRa-based device running Meshtastic firmware - off grid communication within a few miles of other nodes, and relay hops are supported out of the box. Fun stuff to play with (is open source and even open hardware), and super helpful when out camping etc with friends and no reception.

...And the midi keyboard is, well, a midi keyboard!

Super cool. I wonder what kinda stuff you can tunnel on that connection.

Yeah, would be fun to connect a farcaster node.

We should build it for farhack in may.

Yeah the speeds in the field aren't impressive- enough to transmit up to a few KBs but no more at any sort of practical distances/delays apparently. When I stumbled upon it I immediately wondered about voice messages, and  it didn't seem very promising. Doesn't take away from its original coolness tho!
