Meshtastic Python
with servo support

Overview

This is a fork of the official Meshtastic Python library and client, adding support for configuration settings exposed by my fork of Meshtastic firmware.

Get Started

To build the meshtastic binary, simply run:

pip3 install poetry
./bin/build-bin.sh

You will then find the binary in the dist folder.

Configuration

This fork adds support for the following settings:

• servo_control.enabled - true / false
• servo_control.gpio_pin - GPIO pin the servo is connected to
• servo_control.open_position - OPEN position 0-180°
• servo_control.closed_position - CLOSED position 0-180°
• servo_control.authorized_key - list of public keys of authorized nodes

E.g. to configure a servo connected to pin 19 to move between 45° (OPEN) and 135° (CLOSED) when issued a command by a node with public key c2Vydm8gYXV0aG9yaXplZCBNZXNodGFzdGljIG5vZGU=, run:

meshtastic \
  --set servo_control.enabled true \
  --set servo_control.gpio_pin 19 \
  --set servo_control.open_position 45 \
  --set servo_control.closed_position 135 \
  --set servo_control.authorized_key base64:c2Vydm8gYXV0aG9yaXplZCBNZXNodGFzdGljIG5vZGU=

You may add up to 3 authorized nodes.
