- Bring along
- The documented detector and Heltec arrangement.
- Keep in mind
- Detection range and mesh-relay range are different.

What’s published
All firmware variants (dual-core, node-mode, OUI sniffer) and a companion mapper app are open source; the mesh-detect repo itself has no hardware files and no PCB schematic was found.

git clone https://github.com/colonelpanichacks/mesh-detect.gitResearch notes
colonelpanichacks/mesh-detect repo (148 stars) contains only a README and a logo image — it is a landing page pointing to the separate firmware repos above and to 'Full kits, PCBs, pre-flashed boards' sold at colonelpanic.tech; no schematic, Gerbers or BOM for the custom 'DIGI'-style PCB were published or linked anywhere I could verify.

What still needs checking
- Confirm the exact kit BOM, radio band, installed build, antennas and accessories before ordering; the bare PCB is not the finished kit.
- Battery capacity, battery connector/polarity, enclosure dimensions and any included GPS are not established.
- Wiring documentation differs by build: the mapper README shows D4/D5 and mentions a GPIO6/7 variant. The two pinned S3 sources and current flasher specify GPIO5/6. Match the actual firmware and board before wiring.
- Detection needs a supported Remote ID broadcast; neither detection range nor LoRa relay range was tested here.
- The earlier profile reported an obsolete BLE RemoteID to Mesh link. That link was not restored; retained alternative project resources are not a promise of current maintenance.
