Argon to Argon Mesh Setup

[peekay123]

@RobotChicken, at this time, a BLE Group library was created by one of the fine folks at Particle to create a mesh-like environment using BLE. However, due to memory limitations, it only supports three nodes at this time. Some folks are looking to Lora for the mesh part while leveraging an Argon or Boron for the cloud connectivity.

Library for creating a local group of devices using BLE

I just published a library for Gen3 devices that helps with the use case of locally connecting a group of devices over BLE in order to publish/subscribe data faster/with less latency than going through the Cloud. It is available in the library listing and can be installed with the name “BLE_Group”, and you can also find it here: https://github.com/particle-iot/ble-group-library

Very helpful, as usual. Thank you @peekay123.

Edit - Whoah, serious benefits to using 900MHz: “Our initial tests with default library settings: over 1.2mi/2Km line-of-sight with wire quarter-wave antennas. (With setting tweaking and directional antennas, 20Km is possible).”
