@dec_hl Welp, I guess I spoke too soon. ZephCore inherits the cobbled-together protocol implementation from the mainline #MeshCore repo, while also indicating that Claude was used to port it from Arduino to Zephyr.
While I could try to stomach this use of AI, the fact remains that just changing out the driver layer to use an RTOS does not reduce complexity or make anything cleaner, more modular, or easier to hack on. Quite the opposite, I would argue.

@litchralee well, the local mesh is claiming that zephyrs power saving features helps with battery runtime. So I guess it is still worth a try…

@litchralee @dec_hl I share some of your concerns, but I think the mere usage of the Zephyr framework is a huge benefit compared to the Arduino firmware because hardware and drivers are properly abstracted. Let's hope this gets maintained well and evolves into the right direction.

@litchralee @dec_hl github UI is misleading here. They list claude as a contributor because there was a PR by somebody that used claude. The PR was closed without merging. If you check the contributors page, there's no commits by claude in the actual code base.
