Commands directly from the smartphone APP:
GATEWAY, GPS, BUTTON, TRACK BME, BMP
Weather data query, if a BME or BMP chip has been connected to the I2C bus, can be called with the following command in the APP:
WX-Info
Position data, if a GPS chip is present on the hardware, can be called with the following command in the APP:
POS info
❌ these commands are prepared only for input in a serial console connected to the node. Note: not intended for input via APP.
❌ --help query the list of commands
❌ --info query the current operating parameters
❌ --mheard (- - mh) display the stations listened to via LoRa-RX since the last reboot
❌ --setcall Setcallsign (only valid calls according to APRS) (auto. reboot after 10 seconds)
❌ --setssid SetWIFIssid (auto reboot after 15 seconds if ssid and pwd are set)
❌ --setpwd SetWIFIpassword (auto-reboot after 15 seconds if ssid and pwd are set)
❌ --sethamnet use HAMNET IP for MeshCom server connection (auto.reboot after 10 seconds)
❌ --setinet use the INTERNET IP for the MeshCom server connection (auto. reboot after 10 seconds)
❌ --gatewayon start gateway to MeshCom server via WIFI/ETH-connect
❌ --setinfoon/off switches the display of incoming LoRa/UDP messages at the serial console on/off (default)
❌ --debugon/off switches the general debug help on and off
❌ --loradebugon/off switches LoRa RX/TX debug help on and off
❌ --gpsdebugon/off switches GPS debug help on and off
❌ --wxdebugon/off switches the WX sensor debug help on and off
It is also possible to send several prepared commands at once. It is best to prepare them in a notepad or similar and copy them into the buffer with CTRL+C and then paste them into the serial console connected to the MeshCom node with CTRL+V.
Example of a configuration
--setnoinfo
--setcall MYCALL-12
--setlat 48.3751
--setlon 14.4350
--setalt 490
If the MeshCom node is to be used as a gateway, the following additional commands are required:
--setssid WIFIssid
--setpwd WIFIpassword
--gateway on
The gateway automatically configures the IP address of the MeshCom server based on the local IP address obtained via DHCP. To fix the MeshCom server selection when the local IP address is assigned via NAT, the desired MeshCom server IP address can be set to fixed.
