CircuitMess Chatter is a DIY kit for building a pair of wireless communicators that let you send encrypted text messages without needing Wi-Fi or a cellular network. You assemble them yourself, learning about LoRa (long-range, low-power radio) technology, wireless communication, and electronics. The devices are also programmable using CircuitBlocks.

Chatter lets you send texts to another Chatter device – even if there's no Wi-Fi or cell signal around. It uses LoRa to do this so you can stay in touch when you're off-grid. If you wish, you can even program it with CircuitBlocks.
Chatter devices have a range of 2km.
The recommended age for Chatter is 11+. This is because building it involves handling small electronic components and following detailed instructions.
No prior experience is necessary! Chatter is all about learning as you go. The instructions are designed to walk you through each step, even if you've never worked with electronics before.
You'll probably spend around 2 hours building your Chatter set – that's both communicators! It's a fun project that gives you a real understanding of how wireless communication works.
Yes, you can! While Chatter works out of the box for text messaging, you can also program it to do more. Explore coding with CircuitBlocks to customize its functionality and create your own unique communication features.
