Which Meshtastic python version was the command issued with?

[kombjuder]

meshtastic --version 1.2.92

[karamo]

With CLI 1.2.93 is it possible to set the region parameter:

meshtastic --port com12 --set region EU865
meshtastic --port com12 --get region
region: 3

3 is the index in the list of the regions: {ANZ, CN, EU433, EU865, JP, KR, RU, TW, US, Unset} The OLED-Screen also shows EU865

[kombjuder]

EU865 works, EU433 not.

What does not work? Look here. All ok.

Same firmware version and python version?

[kombjuder]

I don’t no what#s going on. I’ve updated all. Then I tried a neu Heltec to EU 865., works. Than I tried an other Heltec to EU433 no error massage but still without region.

So I set regin by ble to EU433 works.

I can not say anything more. Sorry, I learned a little programing at a time where a new computer came in a box with a lot of 74XX.

We need version info to compare so we can see what changed

From your nickname i am guessing you're a german speaker? Please run meshtastic --version and meshtastic --info (for every device in question) and paste the results here.

Hallo Thomas,

ein kompletter Mitschnitt.

Bei einem davor geschriebenen T->Beam ist das nicht aufgetreten. Da konnte die „Region“ gesetzt werden.

Ich hoffe, die Infos reichen.

As I wrote befor: MT-Python 1.2.93 / FW 1.2.64

[caveman99]

@kombjuder Der Heltec ist etwas zickig, wenn man ihn von Windows aus programmiert. Beobachte bitte mal, ob der neu startet (einen Reset ausführt) wenn du den --set Befehl absetzt. In dem Fall könnte es sein, daß er nicht genug Zeit hat, die Einstellung in den Speicher zu schreiben bevor er neu startet. Ein paar Wiederholungen des Befehls führen dann zum Erfolg. Ändern können wir da leider nichts, das liegt daran, wie der serielle USB-Chip auf dem Board verschaltet ist.

The Heltec is a bit touchy when set from Windows. Please observe if it restarts (resets) when you issue the --set command. If so, it may not have enough time to write the setting to memory before restarting. A few repetitions of the command will then lead to success. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this, it is due to the way the serial USB chip is wired on the board.
