In this video of our *Meshtastic* for Makers course, we are going to be looking at how we can send our own sensor data (or whatever information you really want), from a *microcontroller* to the Meshtastic network. To do so we will be looking at how to set up the *serial module,* and how to set up a 2nd microcontroller to use that serial connection in *MicroPython.*
