Meshtastic Utilities

Experiments with Meshtastic, MQTT, Lora, & more....

WORK-IN-PROGRESS

Information

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

Hardware & Software related Issues

• T-Deck 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...
• T-Deck using a custom MQTT with TLS & auth will cause a reboot loop (Need to fix this ASAP)
• event_node event is called AS we are defining the interface, so using self.interface in that callback will error.

Roadmap

• Asyncronous meshtastic interface (Priority)
• MQTT interface with working decryption
• Documentation on MQTT bridging for high availability
• Create a simple setup script to provision new devices over serial
• 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)
