Hello OMs!
Message from OE1KBC, Kurt:
A warm hello to all those interested in the MeshCom 4.0 project,
The MeshCom team has released a new version of the firmware. Rainer OE1KFR
has created and published the corresponding SmartPhone/tablet APP (version
4.13).
A major innovation is in the gateway firmware. This is now integrated into
the common firmware for RAK modules with ETH hardware.
It should be noted that all ESP32-based modules only allow a gateway to the
MeshCom server via a WiFi connection. Such a connection via a wired
interface is only possible using RAK modules with ETH hardware. However,
this RAK hardware is not equipped with a WiFi interface.
Important: The new APP version 4.13 also requires firmware 4.30a or higher
Current MeshCom 4.0 MC firmware 4.30 Changes and enhancements
2024-03-17
Merging the gateway function for RAK modules with ETH hardware
Automatic RECONNECT of RAK modules with gateways via ETH hardware after
server failure.
Messages from the node to the APP are provided with a timestamp of the
creation.
The APP can then display these messages at the correct time when called up
later.
MHeard of the own node is no longer sent to the APP.
MHeard calculates the distance of the node neighbors heard to your own node
and displays it.
MHeard is passed on to the APP when connecting for the first time to display
current information.
UTC offset was introduced so that the time display on the node is local time
(LT)
The current time is sent from the smartphone to the node after a connect.
This means that the timestamp is immediately available.
The first messages after a reconnect of the APP to the node are transmitted
by the node with a slight delay so that the BT stack is fully established.
The information from the node to the APP is transferred in JSON format and
sent with a time delay.
APRS/EMAIL using WLNK-1 commands (documentation on winlink.org) can be sent
via LoRa.
with WLNK-1 registration, mail retrieval, SMS short messages and email
sending are possible.
From 4.30, the message ID consists of 10-bit MAC (LSB) + 6-bit sequential
number 0-999.
LoRa position does not send stable weather values from the sensors so that
the telemetry graphic display is not disturbed.
If no TRACK is activated, the node module also sends the POS at least every
3 minutes via the MeshCom frequency (if this has changed)
APP: The smartphone/tablet time is sent when connecting to the node during
reconnect
ESP32 DisplayWaitTimer adjusted for a text message.
Display of own IP address in info call if gateway is activated.
The firmware is available for download in the download area of
https://icssw.org and on the WEB-Flasher https://oe1kfr.com/esptool under
Release 4.30.
We hope that the new version will meet with great interest and recommend
upgrading to this version. The messages of older firmware versions are
compatible on the HF interface. However, the APP with version 4.13 no longer
runs with older firmware.
The development team

1200 baud it's greater, than zero bits per second :)
