Meshtastic Utilities
This repository serves as a collection of resources created in my journey to learn & utilize LoRa based communications with Meshtastic.
The goal here is to create simple & clean modules to interface with the hardware in a way that can be used to expand the possibilities of the devices capabilities.
The hardware I am experimenting with: Lilygo T-Deck, Lilygo T-Beam, Heltec Lora 32 v3, and RAK Wireless 4631
Documentation
Bugs & Issues
- Devices must have Wifi turned off when going mobile. Upon leaving my house with WiFi still enabled, the UI & connection was EXTREMELY laggy & poor. Couldn't even type well...
- Devices using a MQTT with TLS will reboot loop.
- A fix for the reboot loop is simply disabling MQTT over serial with
meshtastic --set mqtt.enabled false
event_node
event is called AS we are defining the interface, so usingself.interface
in that callback will error.
Roadmap
- Asyncronous meshtastic interface
- MQTT interface with working decryption
- Documentation on MQTT bridging for high availability
- Bridge for IRC to allow channel messages to relay over Meshtastic & all Meshtastic events to relay into IRC. (IRC to Meshtastic will require a command like
!mesh <message here>
to avoid overloading the traffic over LoRa)
