Overview

This Micropython library is included as frozen scripts in the Pymesh firmware release.

It is easily customisable and contributions are welcome using Github PRs.

Main features

Start Pymesh over LoRa on 863Mhz, bandwidth 250kHz, spreading-factor 7 (please check pymesh_config.py defaults for exact values).

Pymesh parameters are automatically saved in NVM, so in the next restart/deepsleep, the node will try to maintain its IP addresses and connections with neighbour nodes.

Start Bluetooth LE server with name PyGo <LoRa MAC>

BLE is used with an RPC protocol, presented int Pymesh library BLE RPC

Internal CLI for controlling/triggering Pymesh features, as explained in Pymesh library CLI.

Color coding LED

The LED color represents the state of the node in the Mesh network.

Blinking - Send/Receive packet Magenta - LEADER Green - ROUTER White - CHILD, Red - Searching / Detached from any Pymesh Cyan - SINGLE LEADER (no other Router in the same Pymesh)

Specifications

It can be easily customised, by modifying any file from /lib folder and flashing it to the board. The uploaded file will automatically be executed instead of the frozen one, which is already embedded into the binary firmware.

Structure

pymesh.py

contains all the methods accessible from main.py

BLE services

ble_rpc.py
- Pymesh library BLE RPC
ble_services.py
- setting BLE server

auxiliary files:

pymesh-debug.py
- debugging on multiple levels, allowing dynamically changing the current debug level
pymesh-config.py
- reading/writing the Pymesh configuration file
gps.py
- maintaining location coordinates, as an extension Pytrack GPS can be used
