In 2017, Hurricane Maria, a category-5 storm, severely impacted Puerto Rico, demolishing homes and communication infrastructure. To address this issue, the ClusterDuck Protocol (CDP) was developed in 2018. It utilizes battery-powered Internet-of-Things devices to reestablish essential communication during emergencies, allowing civilians to request assistance, share their locations, and receive vital information from local governments and responders.
The ClusterDuck Protocol runs on a variety of IoT hardware, including many ESP32 Arduinos.
Here is a list of hardware we use, though there may be many others that work. We recommend the Heltec LoRa ESP32 and the TTGO T-Beam ESP32.
For a simple network you will want to make at least two Ducks. For bigger networks you will need more.
To start developing, you will need PlatformIO on your computer.
Download or git clone the CDP library from GitHub.
Follow the installation instructions here
Please Note: With the Release of the ClusterDuck Protocol Version 4 we have different instructions. If you are looking for older instructions please go here
Connect your board to platform IO
Follow the these updates instructions for loading up a Duck to get one running.
Use the pre-built examples or develop custom Ducks of your own.

Searching for a "fix" for specific compressed files often leads to malicious blogs promoting fake archive repair utilities. These utilities are frequently Trojan horses designed to log keystrokes or install ransomware. Safe Browsing Practices

Not every 716 MB zip is identical. Ensure the file’s hash matches the community thread. Check the comments. Does it say "Works for v1.8.3"? If you apply a patch for the wrong version, you might turn your lover into a mute mannequin.
Ensure your operating system is set to show file extensions. Attackers often use double extensions like filename.mp4.exe inside a ZIP file. If you extract a file and see an .exe , .bat , .vbs , or .scr extension instead of a video format, delete it immediately. 4. Avoid "ZIP Repair" Software Advertisements

Most engines (like Unity or Unreal) allow modders to create an "Override" folder to replace broken files.
Ensure your antivirus is active and your browser's "Safe Browsing" mode is turned on.
