question: Get Telemetry from each Mesh Node #19

Closed jaecktec closed 7 years ago

jaecktec commented 7 years ago

I haven't seen a way to get telemtry data (like signal strength and nodes in proximidity). Is there a way?

BlackEdder commented 7 years ago

There is no build in way to do this, but this can be done in your own code by scanning for APs.

An example that might get you started: https://gitlab.com/BlackEdder/painlessMesh/blob/master/src/painlessMeshSTA.cpp#L124

By the way. I am not sure how active the easyMesh project is anymore. I am maintaining a fork here: https://gitlab.com/BlackEdder/painlessMesh that I plan to actively maintain. The fork also incorporates @sfranzyshen changes. I have plans to develop painlessMesh further, but that will depend on how much time I have.

EDIT: clarify I will be maintaining painlessMesh

I'm going to try this as soon as I can.

Thank you! The AP way is quite unrelaible. (Antenna diversity and stuff,..) But thank you :) Hope I can get the Raw Packets library set working and build a time of flight thingy...
