Hello i was wondering something about this nrf24l01 mesh network. From what i can see if i have 5 or 6 of them together it become a small mesh network correct? they can talk back and forth with each other and it's a small mesh network. what happens if you add more to the network say like 20 of them together then it becomes a bigger mesh network correct or am i wrong? also if you and your friend are on the same network talking to each other but to far from each other in range and say they are 5 or so other users connected to the network between you and your friend it can relay from you then another user so forth into it gets to your friend? kind of like relay system into it finds the route to your friends device from you. But what I'm wondering what is the total amount of devices using the nrf24 modules can relay back and forth to talk to each other or is there a limit? if someone can please let me know if I'm wrong about any of them or how it truly works please let me know thank you.
hello can someone help me to confirm if I'm correct or way off on how the mesh network really work?
Hi, i am experimenting with this tight now.
you have a base node that is 000, then you can create other nodes on the same "level" like 001 and 002
001 and 002 talks directly with 000 but afaik 001 to talk to 002 should pass by 000
if you want to create a branch of 001 you create a node 011 and 021 (this is counterintuitive 021 afaik is "zero - second node - of node one")
and node 021 can't talk to 011 without passing by 001.
since 021 talks to 001 to talk to 000 021 can be out of range from 000 but in reach with 001, so assuming a maximum working distance fixed in 10 meters, 021 can be 20 meters from 000.
This is my guessing and interpretation of what i have found online, but i can be wrong, if anyone can confirm this...

Hello that explain a lot of what I was thinking to you confirm what I also was thinking what I'm trying to do is have about 10 people talk to each other in like text message right now I can do a 1 on 1 no problem but now I would like to expand that to 10 people all within 10 mile range but good thing is half of them are between each other so If I'm thinking it can do the relay from one person to another into it gets to where it suppose to go. We'll thank you for that information help me a lot I will post a update in time on what's going on.
okay thank you i think i got what i need now.
Hello new question as I'm working on my project with mesh network i was wondering something I'm trying to do a text message mesh network And in this text message network i was wondering something if this is possible to have 2 people talking to each other that is far apart say 4 or 5 miles away and have some mesh nodes work as repeaters between them so is I'm on one side and my brother is on the other side that we can talk to each other though the nodes like a relay? but the nodes just relay the information that's all?
Is this possible?
