Last week I built a desktop tamagotchi thing, but kept forgetting to feed it and the characters would die before it could evolve. This week I made an update that monitors the primary Meshtastic channel and auto feeds anytime a message is sent. Its life is now in the hands of local mesh traffic!

I released the tamagotchi version, but the Meshtastic integration is a bit more complicated. It relies on my home server which already pulls in mesh traffic. I might try to make a version that connects directly to a node one of these days.

The video explains it’s all. This was a fun project.

I’m hoping this project will catch on and other people will expand on it with their own animation sets and functionality. It’s a pain to create all of the image files, but if anyone makes more make a GitHub fork and expand the project!
