### Firmware Modules
[Modules](/docs/settings/moduleconfig) are also implemented mainly in the firmware repo above. Typically, you would add functionality in the protobufs repo and the device repo to implement module functionality. You probably also want to have some client/device use/interact with the module and that is where the Device support comes into play.

Cryptography is tricky, so we've tried to 'simply' apply standard crypto solutions to our implementation. However, the project developers are not cryptography experts. Therefore we ask two things:

Based on comments from reviewers (see below), here are some tips for usage of these radios, so that you may know the level of protection offered:
- It is pretty likely that the AES256 security is implemented 'correctly' and an observer will not be able to decode your messages.
- Warning: If an attacker is able to get one of the radios in their possession, they could either a) extract the channel key from that device or b) use that radio to listen to new communications.
- Warning: If an attacker is able to get the "Channel QR code/URL" that you share with others - that attacker could then be able to read any messages sent on the channel (either tomorrow or in the past - if they kept a raw copy of those broadcast packets)
Possible future areas of work (if there is enough interest - post in our [forum](https://meshtastic.discourse.group) if you want this):
The current implementation provides optional confidentiality to members of a configured network:
1. Optionally requiring users to provide a PIN to regain access to the mesh. This could be based on: intentionally locking the device, time since last use, or any member could force all members to re-authenticate,
2. Until a device re-authenticates, any other access via BLE or USB would be blocked (this would protect against attackers who are not prepared to write custom software to extract and reverse engineer meshtastic flash memory)
3. Turning on read-back protection in the device fuse-bits (this would extend protection in #2 to block all but **extremely** advanced attacks involving chip disassembly)
4. Time limiting keys used for message transmission and automatically cycling them on a schedule. This would protect past messages from being decoded even if an attacker learns the current key.
- Encryption is implemented in devices/nodes with network-wide encryption keys.
- Encryption is optional and is turned off when devices are in 'Ham mode'.
- There is no encryption supported in the clients (iOS, Android) to facilitate distribution as mass market software.
- Pairing from client-to-device is by:
- direct USB cable
- BT pairing
- Devices are 'promiscuous' and will pair with any near-by client. Network confidentiality requires physical protection of all nodes.

- Two other things to keep in mind are that AES-CTR does not itself provide authenticity (e.g. an attacker can flip bits in replaying data and scramble the resulting plaintext), and that the current scheme gives some hints about transmission in the size. So, if you worry about an adversary deliberately messing-up messages or knowing the length of a text message, it looks like those might be possible.
I'm guessing that the network behaves somewhat like a store-and-forward network - or, at least, that the goal is to avoid establishing a two-way connection to transmit data. I'm afraid I haven't worked with mesh networks much, but remember studying them briefly in school about ten years ago.
## Phased Proposal for the Meshtastic Security Framework
### Phase 1 - Fixed network encryption with AES-CTR
The current implementation provides optional confidentiality to members of a configured network:
- Encryption is implemented in devices/nodes with network-wide encryption keys.
- Encryption is optional and is turned off when devices are in 'Ham mode'.
- There is no encryption supported in the clients (iOS, Android) to facilitate distribution as mass market software.
- Pairing from client-to-device is by:
- direct USB cable
- BT pairing
- Devices are 'promiscuous' and will pair with any near-by client. Network confidentiality requires physical protextion of all nodes.
### Phase 2 - Strong device and client identity
**Phase 2 security goals:**
- Know who sent a message (strong binding of messages to a particular node and/or terminal device)
- This would be an optional feature for a message
- Optionaly enforce identity based restrictions on some actions performed at nodes and/or clients
- Optional support of strong pairing of a client to a device/node and restrict ability to manage and receive messages based on the pairing.
- The BT paring and the cryptographic paring are separate (to simplify pahse 1 deployment and testing)
- Above features should be architected to be ‘cryptographically strong’ and algorithm agile.
**Phase 2 Proposed mechanisms:**
- Proposed initial algorithms
- Ed25519 for signatures based on NaCl libraries and iOS support for Ed25519
- Clients and nodes to generate local identity Ed25519 keys
- Devices maintain knowledge of owner public key
- Devices maintain knowledge of some peers public keys and associated information (name, etc.)
- Experimental protobuf message type with
- cipher suite indicator (csi)
- wrapped data using a cipher suite identifier to indicate use of Ed25519 wrapping identified algorithms.
Wrapped data to contain any of the existing message types.
- initial ‘cipher suite’ **only** signs a message
- new signed/authenticated messages to:
- device->client: provide ownership status of device (owner is identifed by a public key)
- client->device: set owner key (must be existing device owner or owner null)
- any->all. Broadcast public key and associated info (crude initial key distribution)
### Phase 3 and 3+:
- Device/node e2e message confidentiality (1-to-1)
- NO client side encryption
- All encryption turned off for a network in 'Ham mode'
- Protect messages sent over LoRa from eavesdroppers outside of a well identified group
- multicast group key distribution / discovery (1-to-n)
- Privacy
- BT MAC layer address privatization
- Node address privatization (Use use if based on device public key and schedule based aliasing)
- Private peer discovery
- Private service announcement and discovery
- Device/node security (hardening key storage, tamper resistance, side channel protection, etc.)
- Public key pairing process for client-to-device also sets up BT (no BT pin)

The routing protocol for Meshtastic is really quite simple (and sub-optimal). If you want to test its theoretical performance, you can have a look at the [simulator](https://github.com/GUVWAF/Meshtasticator). The protocol is heavily influenced by the mesh routing algorithm used in [RadioHead](https://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/RadioHead) (which was used in very early versions of this project). It has four conceptual layers.

If your device is connected to Internet via wifi or ethernet, you can enable it to forward packets along to an MQTT server. This allows users on the local mesh to communicate with users on the internet. One or more channels must be enabled as uplink and/or downlink for protobufs to be transmitted from and/or to the mesh (See [channels](/docs/settings/config/channels#downlink-enabled)). Without these settings the node will still connect to MQTT server and send status messages.
The MQTT module config options are: Enabled, Server Address, Username, Password, Encryption Enabled and JSON Enabled. MQTT Module config uses an admin message sending a `ConfigModule.MQTT` protobuf.
## Settings
## MQTT Module Config Values
### Enabled
Enables the MQTT module.
### Server Address
The server to use for MQTT. If not set, the default server public will be used.
### Username
MQTT Server username to use (most useful for a custom MQTT server). If using a custom server, this will be honored even if empty. If using the default public server, this will only be honored if set, otherwise the device will use the default username.
### Password
MQTT password to use (most useful for a custom MQTT server). If using a custom server, this will be honored even if empty. If using the default server, this will only be honored if set, otherwise the device will use the default password
### Encryption Enabled
Whether to send encrypted or decrypted packets to MQTT. This parameter is only honored if you also set server (the default official mqtt.meshtastic.org server can handle encrypted packets) Decrypted packets may be useful for external systems that want to consume meshtastic packets.
### JSON Enabled
Enable the sending / consumption of JSON packets on MQTT. These packets are not encrypted, but offer an easy way to integrate with systems that can read JSON.

Currently only available for ESP32 based devices with external PSRAM. Requires the device to be set as a ROUTER or ROUTER_CLIENT.
**Don't enable Store & Forward Module on multiple nodes.**
:::
## Overview
:::caution
This is a work in progress and is partially available. Stability is not guaranteed.
:::
The Store & Forward Module is an implementation of a Store and Forward system to enable resilient messaging in the event that a client device is disconnected from the main network.
Because of the increased network traffic for this overhead, it's not advised to use this if you are duty cycle limited for your airtime usage (EU_868 and EU_433) nor is it advised to use this for presets using SF11 or SF12 (e.g. all of the LongRange and VeryLongRange presets).
## Settings
| Setting | Acceptable Values | Default |
| :---------------------------------: | :---------------: | :-----: |
| store_forward.enabled | `true`, `false` | `false` |
| store_forward.heartbeat | `true`, `false` | `false` |

## Details
### How it works
![Store & Forward - Overview](/img/modules/store_and_forward/store_and_forward-overview.png)
### Requirements
Initial Requirements:
- Must be installed on a ROUTER or ROUTER_CLIENT node.
- This is an artificial limitation, but is in place to enforce best practices.
- Router nodes are intended to be always online. If this module misses any messages, the reliability of the stored messages will be reduced.
- ESP32 Processor based device with external PSRAM. (tbeam > v1.0, T3S3, and maybe others)
### Usage Overview
- To use / test this you will want at least 3 devices
- One ESP32 device with PSRAM configured as a Meshtastic router.
- Two others will be regular clients. Nothing special required.
### Meshtastic channel configuration
Don't use this on the "LongRange" channel settings. You're welcome to try and report back, but those channels have a [low bitrate](/docs/overview/radio-settings#pre-defined).
Either use a custom channel configuration with at an at least 1kbit data rate or use a Medium or Short range preset.
### Router setup
:::warning
Don't enable the Store and Forward module on multiple nodes for now!
:::
- Configure your device as a router.
- Name your router node something that makes it easily identifiable, aka "Router".
- Configure the Store and Forward module
```shell title="Required - Enable the module"
meshtastic --set store_forward.enabled true
```
```shell title="Optional - Set maximum number of records to save to device"
meshtastic --set store_forward.records 100
```
:::tip
Best to leave `store_forward.records` at the default (`0`) where the module will use 2/3 of your device's available PSRAM. This is about 11,000 records.
:::
### Client Usage
Currently, no special configuration is required. To request your history sent to you, send the command into the message field "SF". That's it. This will eventually change to make it easier. At the moment, that message will be sent to everyone on the mesh but we'll (eventually) make it easier to use where there'll be a button (or maybe it'll be transparent) and the command isn't sent as a text message to the mesh.
Available Commands:
| Command | Definition |
| :-----: | :----------------------------------------------------: |
| SF | Send the last hour worth of messages I may have missed |
The Store and Forward module will only service one client at a time. If a second client requests messages while the S&F is busy, the S&F will send a private message to the second client that they will need to wait.

import Tabs from "@theme/Tabs";
import TabItem from "@theme/TabItem";
The Detection Sensor module allows you to configure a GPIO pin to be monitored for a specified high/low status and send text alerts over the Detection Sensor portnum when an event is detected. This is particularly useful for motion detection sensors, reed switches, and other open / closed state systems in which notifications over the mesh are desired. Config options are: Enabled, Minimum Broadcast Interval, State Broadcast Interval, Send Bell, Name, Monitor Pin, Detection Triggered High, and Use Pull-up.
In order to use this module, make sure your devices have firmware version 2.2.2 or higher.
## Detection Sensor Module Config Values
### Enabled
Whether the Module is enabled.
### Minimum Broadcast Interval
The interval in seconds of how often we can send a message to the mesh when a state change is detected.
### State Broadcast Interval
The interval in seconds of how often we should send a message to the mesh with the current state regardless of changes, When set to 0, only state changes will be broadcasted, Works as a sort of status heartbeat for peace of mind.
### Send Bell
Send ASCII bell with alert message. Useful for triggering ext. notification on bell
name.
### Friendly Name
Used to format the message sent to mesh. Example: A name "Motion" would result in a message "Motion detected". Maximum length of 20 characters.
### Monitor Pin
The GPIO pin to monitor for state changes.
### Detection Triggered High
Whether or not the GPIO pin state detection is triggered on HIGH (1), otherwise LOW (0).
### Use Pull-up
Whether or not use INPUT_PULLUP mode for GPIO pin. Only applicable if the board uses pull-up resistors on the pin.

If your device is connected to Internet via wifi or ethernet, you can enable it to forward packets along to an MQTT server. This allows users on the local mesh to communicate with users on the internet. One or more channels must also be enabled as uplink and/or downlink for packets to be transmitted from and/or to your mesh (See [channels](/docs/configuration/radio/channels#downlink-enabled)). Without these settings enabled, the node will still connect to the MQTT server but only send status messages.
The MQTT module config options are: Enabled, Server Address, Username, Password, Encryption Enabled, JSON Enabled, TLS Enabled, and Root Topic. MQTT Module config uses an admin message sending a `ConfigModule.MQTT` protobuf.
## Settings
## MQTT Module Config Values
### Enabled
Enables the MQTT module.
### Server Address
The server to use for MQTT. If not set, the default public server will be used.
### Username
MQTT Server username to use (most useful for a custom MQTT server). If using a custom server, this will be honored even if empty. If using the default public server, this will only be honored if set, otherwise the device will use the default username.
### Password
MQTT password to use (most useful for a custom MQTT server). If using a custom server, this will be honored even if empty. If using the default server, this will only be honored if set, otherwise the device will use the default password.
### Encryption Enabled
Whether to send encrypted or unencrypted packets to MQTT. This parameter is only honored if you also set server (the default official mqtt.meshtastic.org server can handle encrypted packets). Unencrypted packets may be useful for external systems that want to consume meshtastic packets.
### JSON Enabled
Enable the sending / consumption of JSON packets on MQTT. These packets are not encrypted, but offer an easy way to integrate with systems that can read JSON.
### TLS Enabled
If true, we attempt to establish a secure connection using TLS.
### Root Topic
The root topic to use for MQTT messages. This is useful if you want to use a single MQTT server for multiple meshtastic networks and separate them via ACLs.

## Remote Hardware Module Usage
:::warning
GPIO access is fundamentally dangerous because invalid options can physically damage or destroy your hardware. Ensure that you fully understand the schematic for your particular device before trying this as we do not offer a warranty. Use at your own risk.
:::
The device firmware runs on the nodes to build the mesh for communication. Each different make and model of device requires a different build of the Meshtastic firmware in order to run properly. Thankfully, due to the design of Meshtastic, it is possible to port the firmware to new devices as they become available. The firmware currently runs on a range of ESP32 based devices, but there is also increasing support for the nRF52 microprocessor with some more recent devices coming to market.
The current firmware has support for a screen to display received messages, along with information about nodes on the mesh, and more detailed information about the device on which it is running.
The latest firmware can be downloaded from the [Downloads](/downloads) page. If you wish to view the code or contribute to development of the firmware, please visit the device code [GitHub page](https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware).
:::info
Please be aware that there are significant changes between version branches 1.2.x and 1.3.x which mean that devices need to be running the same branch of firmware to be able to talk to each other. Python, Android, and other software applications will also need to be running the same branch to be able to talk to the device.
This feature uses a preinstalled module in the device code and associated command line flags/classes in the python code. You'll need to be running at least version 1.2.23 (or later) of the python and device code to use this feature.

The serial module config options are: Enabled, Echo, Mode, Receive GPIO, Transmit GPIO, Baud Rate, Timeout, and Override Console Serial Port. Serial Module config uses an admin message sending a `ConfigModule.Serial` protobuf.
This is a simple interface to send messages over the mesh network by sending strings over a serial port. Anything you send the node will be turned into a message sent out over the mesh, and anything received from the mesh will be sent to the serial port. Note that this module does not (yet) allow arbitrary protobuf commands to be sent over the serial connection.
This is an interface to talk to and control your Meshtastic device over a serial port. The module can be set to different [modes](#mode), each fulfilling a different use-case.

:::info
Currently only available for ESP32 based devices with external PSRAM like the tbeam. Requires the device to be set as a ROUTER or ROUTER_CLIENT.
:::
## Overview
:::caution
This is a work in progress and the required client support is not yet available.
:::
The Store & Forward Module is an implementation of a Store and Forward system to enable resilient messaging in the event that a client device is disconnected from the main network.
Because of the increased network traffic for this overhead, it's not advised to use this if you are duty cycle limited for your airtime usage (EU_868 and EU_433) nor is it advised to use this for presets using SF11 or SF12 (e.g. all of the LongRange and VeryLongRange presets).
## Details
### How it works
![Store & Forward - Overview](/img/modules/store_and_forward/store_and_forward-overview.png)
### Requirements
Initial Requirements:
- Must be installed on a ROUTER or ROUTER_CLIENT node.
- This is an artificial limitation, but is in place to enforce best practices.
- Router nodes are intended to be always online. If this module misses any messages, the reliability of the stored messages will be reduced.
- ESP32 Processor based device with external PSRAM. (tbeam > v1.0, T3S3, and maybe others)
### Usage Overview
- To use / test this you will want at least 3 devices
- One ESP32 device with PSRAM configured as a Meshtastic router.
- Two others will be regular clients. Nothing special required.
### Meshtastic channel configuration
Don't use this on the "LongRange" channel settings. You're welcome to try and report back, but those channels have a [low bitrate](/docs/overview/radio-settings#pre-defined).
Either use a custom channel configuration with at an at least 1kbit data rate or use a Medium or Short range preset.
### Router setup
- Configure your device as a router.
- Name your router node something that makes it easily identifiable, aka "Router".
- Configure the Store and Forward module
```shell title="Required - Enable the module"
meshtastic --set store_forward.enabled true
```
```shell title="Optional - Set maximum number of records to save to device"
meshtastic --set store_forward.records 100
```
:::tip
Best to leave `store_forward.records` at the default (`0`) where the module will use 2/3 of your device's available PSRAM. This is about 11,000 records.
:::
### Client Usage
Currently there are no clients that support store and forward.
## Settings
### Enabled
Enables the module.
### Heartbeat
The Store & Forward Router sends a periodic message onto the network. This allows connected devices to know that a router is in range and listening to received messages. A client like Android, iOS, or Web can (if supported) indicate to the user whether a store and forward router is available.
### History Return Max
Sets the maximum number of messages to return to a client device.
### History Return Window
Limits the time period (in minutes) a client device can request.
### Records
Set this to the maximum number of records to save. Best to leave this at the default (`0`) where the module will use 2/3 of your device's available PSRAM. This is about 11,000 records.

- **Screen Attached:** If your device boots up for the first time (or with a stale device state), and a screen is detected, the default pairing mode will be set to `RANDOM_PIN`. Should the attached screen be removed after the device has already been booted, the default pairing mode of `RANDOM_PIN` will remain unless manually changed to `FIXED_PIN` or `NO_PIN`. It is recommended the pairing mode be updated prior to removing the attached screen.
- **No Screen Attached:** If your device boots up for the first time (or with a stale device state), and no screen is detected, the default paring mode will be set to `FIXED_PIN` with the aforementioned default value unless manually configured to a custom value.
- **No Screen Attached:** If your device boots up for the first time (or with a stale device state), and no screen is detected, the default paring mode will be set to `FIXED_PIN` with the default value listed below unless manually configured to a custom value.
### Fixed PIN
If your pairing mode is set to `FIXED_PIN`, the default value is 123456. For all other pairing modes, this number is ignored. A custom integer (6 digits) can be set via the Bluetooth config options.

## RAK GPIO Pin Mapping
The RAK4631 uses symbolic labels for its I/O Pins on the module and baseboard silk screens. The following table shows the mapping of the RAK4631 GPIO pins to the corresponding Arduino pins and the MCU Port numbers.
| RAK Pin | nRF52840 Pin | Arduino GPIO | Remark |
| ------- | ------------ | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| IO1 | P0.17 | 17 | used for GPS PPM signal if GPS module is connected |
| IO2 | P1.02 | 34 | used to power all peripheral modules, not available for user application |
| IO3 | P0.21 | 21 |
| IO4 | P0.04 | 4 |
| IO5 | P0.09 | 9 | The 'User Button' is mapped here. |
| IO6 | P0.10 | 10 |
| IO7 | P0.28 | 28 |
| SW1 | P0.01 | 1 |
| A0 | P0.04/AIN2 | A2 |
| A1 | P0.31/AIN7 | A7 |
| SPI_CS | P0.26 | 26 |
When configuring GPIO pins in your device settings, the Arduino GPIO numbers should be used.
```shell title="Example"
meshtastic --set external_notification.output 10
```
This will use IO6 on a RAK4631
:::caution Note
There is no usable GPIO pin on any RAK base board except the 'big' baseboard RAK19001 without adding a RAK13002 IO module or a third party IO sensor breakout.

## Areas for future development
In the future we will add a "dead man's timer" to this feature so that the remote node will revert any changes if you fail to send a special "commit changes" command. This will protect against sending bad settings to nodes that you can't physically access. Instead, if the node does not receive a commit message within 10 minutes it will revert all changes and (hopefully) rejoin the mesh.

## Roles
Leave your [ROLE](/docs/configuration/radio/device#role) set to `CLIENT` unless you're sure another role would suit the node's purpose. All `CLIENT` nodes will "repeat" and "route" packets. Roles are for very specific applications so please [read the documentation](/docs/configuration/radio/device#role) before changing your node's role.
:::info
Users report that the current implementation of the `ROUTER` role with bluetooth switched off causes instability. If you would like the functionality associated with this role, it is recommended you choose `ROUTER_CLIENT` until a firmware fix is issued.
:::
## (Not) Sharing Your Location
Telemetry is shared over your [PRIMARY channel](/docs/configuration/radio/channels#role). This means that if your node has acquired GPS coordinates from an integrated GPS chip, or from your mobile device, your coordinates will be sent to the mesh over this channel, using it's defined encryption (if any).
By default the PRIMARY channel's name is LongFast with the encryption key "AQ==" (Base64 equivalent of Hex 0x01). If this is left unchanged, your location will be shared with all nodes in range that are also using the default channel.
### Creating a Private Primary with Default Secondary
If you'd like to connect with other Meshtastic users but only share your location with trusted parties, you may create a private PRIMARY channel and use the defaults for a SECONDARY channel.
1. Ensure you have not changed the LoRa [Modem Preset](/docs/configuration/radio/lora#modem-preset) from the default `unset` / `LONG_FAST`.
2. On your PRIMARY channel, set anything you'd like for the channel's name and choose a random PSK.
3. Enable a SECONDARY channel with a blank name (will default to LongFast) with PSK "AQ==".
4. Since the radio's frequency is automatically changed based on your PRIMARY channel's name, you will have to manually set it back to your region's default (in LoRa settings) in order to interface with users on the default channel:
### Default Primary Channels by Region
| US | EU_433 | EU_868 | CN | JP | ANZ | KR | TW | RU | IN | NZ_865 | TH | LORA_24 | UA_433 | UA_868 |
| :--: | :----: | :----: | :--: | :-: | :--: | :--: | :--: | :--: | :--: | :----: | :--: | :-----: | :----: | :----: |
| 20 | 4 | 1 | 36 | 20 | 20 | 12 | 16 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 16 | 6 | 6 | 2 |
To quickly test this configuration, find and scan your region's QR from [this repository](https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic/tree/master/static/img/configuration/qr-private-primary-example/). Remember to generate a new PSK for your private channel before sharing with your trusted nodes.
## Rebroadcast "Public" Traffic
Meshtastic nodes will rebroadcast all packets if they share [LoRa modem settings](/docs/configuration/radio/lora#lora-config-values), regardless of encryption (unless [Rebroadcast mode](/docs/configuration/radio/device#rebroadcast-mode) is set to `LOCAL_ONLY`).
:::info
If you would like your nodes to include/expand the "public" mesh, you must use the default [modem preset](/docs/configuration/radio/lora#modem-preset) `LONG_FAST`. If you change your PRIMARY channel name, you must manually set the LoRa channel to the default for your region (see above).
:::
## Chat Channels VS LoRa Modem Channels
Meshtastic uses the word "channels" to define two different configuration properties: [Messaging Channels](/docs/configuration/radio/channels) & [LoRa Modem Channels](/docs/configuration/radio/lora#channel-number)
### Radio Config: Channels
These configure "message groups" and include your PRIMARY and SECONDARY channels. All SECONDARY channels use the same LoRa modem config as your PRIMARY channel (including LoRa channel number).
There are 8 total chat channels. Channel 0 is your PRIMARY channel, with channels 1-7 available for private group messaging and/or special channels such as [`admin`](/docs/configuration/remote-admin).
### Radio Config: LoRa: Channel Number
This configures the frequency the radio is set to. Check out the [frequency calculator](/docs/overview/radio-settings#channel-frequency-calculator) to view the relationship between "channel number" and radio frequency.
## Best Practices
- If you are part of a large mesh and don't know what a setting does, don't change it (unless you're super curious).
- Leave your [MAX HOPS](/docs/configuration/radio/lora#max-hops) set to 3 unless you're sure you need more (or less) to reach your destination node.
- TEST your settings and hardware before you install in hard-to-reach locations.
- Connecting a node to the [public MQTT server](http://localhost:3000/docs/configuration/module/mqtt#connect-to-the-default-public-server) may publish the locations of all nodes in your mesh to the internet. This will also add every globally connected node to your node database and potentially flood your mesh with all types of packets.

## Bluetooth (MeshBluetoothService)
This is the main Bluetooth service for the device and provides the API your app should use to get information about the mesh, send packets, or provision the radio.
For a reference implementation of a client that uses this service see [RadioInterfaceService](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/geeksville/mesh/service/RadioInterfaceService.kt).
For a reference implementation of a client that uses this service see [RadioInterfaceService](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/geeksville/mesh/repository/radio/RadioInterfaceService.kt).
Typical flow when a phone connects to the device should be the following (if you want to watch this flow from the python app just run `meshtastic --debug --info` - the flow over BLE is identical):
- There are only three relevant endpoints (and they have built in BLE documentation - so use a BLE tool of your choice to watch them): FromRadio, FromNum (sends notifies when new data is available in FromRadio) and ToRadio
- SetMTU size to 512
- There are only three relevant endpoints (and they have built in BLE documentation - so use a BLE tool of your choice to watch them): FromRadio, FromNum (sends notifies when new data is available in FromRadio) and ToRadio.
- SetMTU size to 512.
- Write a ToRadio.startConfig protobuf to the "ToRadio" endpoint - this tells the radio you are a new connection and you need the entire NodeDB sent down.
- Read repeatedly from the "FromRadio" endpoint. Each time you read you will get back a FromRadio protobuf (see Meshtatastic-protobuf). Keep reading from this endpoint until you get back and empty buffer.
- Read repeatedly from the "FromRadio" endpoint. Each time you read you will get back a FromRadio protobuf (see Meshtastic-protobuf). Keep reading from this endpoint until you get back and empty buffer.
- See below for the expected sequence for your initial download.
- After the initial download, you should subscribe for BLE "notify" on the "FromNum" endpoint. If a notification arrives, that means there are now one or more FromRadio packets waiting inside FromRadio. Read from FromRadio until you get back an empty packet.
- Any time you want to send packets to the radio, you should write a ToRadio packet into ToRadio.
Expected sequence for initial download:
- After your send startConfig, you will receive a series of FromRadio packets. The sequence of these packets will be as follows (but you are best not counting on this, instead just update your model for whatever packet you receive - based on looking at the type)
- Read a RadioConfig from "radio" - used to get the channel and radio settings
- Read a User from "user" - to get the username for this node
- Read a MyNodeInfo from "mynode" to get information about this local device
- Read a series of NodeInfo packets to build the phone's copy of the current NodeDB for the mesh
- Read a endConfig packet that indicates that the entire state you need has been sent
- Read a series of MeshPackets until it returns empty to get any messages that arrived for this node while the phone was away

## Authentication
The initial release will not have **any** user authentication. We assume access to the HTTP server is enough to establish trust.
Since authentication is also eventually needed for our other transports (TCP and eventually open BLE), we will be adding authentication **in-band**. When added in the second release there will be a new payload supported inside ToRadio for `SignIn <userid> <usersecret>`. The server will respond with a FromRadio `SignInResponse okay|fail`. Also, in the case of the REST API, that SignIn status will then be associated with the current session key. Most (all?) ToRadio packets will be ignored if the client is not signed in. Most (all?) FromRadio packets will be sent to clients that are not signed in.

## Considerations
## Overview
We have a total of 458,752 bytes (448KB) available on the SPIFFS (Serial Peripheral Interface Flash File System) -- the on-board storage of the ESP32. Of that space, let's not use more than half of that (224KB) in order to leave space for other uses.
The Meshtastic web interface can be hosted or served from a node.
Right now, the Meshtastic Device Preferences as well as SSL keys use that space. We can imagine other future uses as well, such as logging chat messages and possibly saving received signal strength with GPS coordinates to create coverage heat maps.
The official hosted version can be found at [https://client.meshtastic.org](https://client.meshtastic.org).
## Static Files
The version served from a node can be accessed by first [connecting your node to your network](/docs/configuration/radio/network) and then navigating to http://meshtastic.local (or your_node_ip.local).
Static files can be placed in the /data folder. All files should be compressed in the .gz format with a .gz extension regardless of the file type.
As an example, this would mean we will have files such as:
## Development & Building
- style.css.gz
- meshtastic.js.gz
- meshtasticlogo.png.gz
### Development
Unless otherwise stated, files in the `/data` folder of the source code will be stored in `/static` on the device.
Clone the [Meshtastic Web Repo](https://github.com/meshtastic/web) repository
```shell
git clone https://github.com/meshtastic/web.git
cd web
```
## Application Interface
Install the dependencies.
We make extensive use of [Meshtastic.js](https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic.js).
```bash
pnpm i
```
### Building
## Embedded Server
Build the project:
### Root
```bash
pnpm build
```
When requesting to the root of the web server, the either /static/index.html or /static/index.html.gz will be fetched from the file system and served to the client. We require that the file is in the gzip format. Serving an uncompressed file is not supported. If both index.html and index.html.gz are on the filesystem, index.html will be served and index.html.gz will be ignored.
Start the development server:
### /static
```bash
pnpm dev
```
All files stored in /data/static in the Meshtastic source code will be available in /static on the Meshtastic device.
### Packaging
If a file is uploaded in a .gz format, the .gz extension will be stripped prior to being served to the client. Keep your filenames as short as possible. Short filenames work better than long file names.
Build the project:
An experimental file system browser with upload and delete capability is available by going to either:
```bash
pnpm build
```
- http://meshtastic.local/static
- https://meshtastic.local/static
GZip the output:
There are known issues with uploading files with large file sizes.
```bash
pnpm package
```
The current preferred method to upload data is through PlatformIO and the file system browser is provided without guarantees.
### /restart
## Releases
A post to this location will cause the device to restart.
Releases are automatically generated for every commit as per out [CI](https://github.com/meshtastic/web/blob/master/.github/workflows/main.yml). This performs two actions:
### /favicon.ico
The Meshtastic logo in .ico format.
### /hotspot-detect.html
Used by the Apple Captive Portal Assistant.
### /upload
Endpoint to upload files. Used by the file manager.
### /json/report
Return a report of airtime statistics and current status.
Formula to calculate when the current time period will roll over:
`data.airtime.seconds_per_period - (data.airtime.seconds_since_boot % data.airtime.seconds_per_period)`
### /json/scanNetworks
Returns a json data structure of WiFi networks in the area. It's recommended to call this at least 2 or 3 times and combine the results.
We purposely exclude open (insecure) networks from the list.
### /json/spiffs/browse/static
Returns a json data structure with the contents of /static.
If a filename includes a '.gz' extension, will also return a modified version of the filename with the extension stripped. This is to support the functionality in /static (see above).
### /json/spiffs/delete/static
Delete file specified by the parameter "delete". Use the method "DELETE".
eg: /json/spiffs/delete/static?delete=static/something.txt
### Performance
As a general guide, the ESP32 will return HTTP requests significantly faster than HTTPS requests. For responses of 1kb or less, expect the following for real world performance:
HTTP - 3.0 requests / sec
HTTPS - 0.4 requests / sec
The bottleneck of HTTPS is with the SSL handshake. We will get better performance serving one large file rather than multiple small files.

:::caution
It has been reported that some of this information is out of date. Flashing the device with [Meshtastic-flasher](/docs/software/python/flasher) should fix these partition issues and update you to the current web interface.
FIXME - Investigate and rewrite document to reflect the current ESP32 Partition mitigation.
:::
## Insufficient space to upload web interface files
This problem seems to occur when your board has the partitioning structure set incorrectly. This typically occurs when the board has had a firmware other than Meshtastic on it previously. In this situation, the file upload page on the device typically shows a free space of around 48,000 bytes, rather than the ~300,000 bytes that it should have free.
![Meshtastic.local's upload page showing insufficient storage space](/img/insufficient-space.png)
There are a number of methods that essentially involve erasing the flash and then re-uploading the Meshtastic firmware.
## Install Script
The most reliable way to fix this problem is to use the install script that is included in the meshtastic firmware zip. If that doesn’t work, these other methods may work:
## Alternative methods
### Using the Arduino IDE:
https://meshtastic.discourse.group/t/solved-help-installing-with-other-than-esphome-flasher/2214/9
### Using Pio in Windows
```powershell
pio run --target erase --environment tbeam
```
Then re-install the firmware ie using ESPHome Flasher.
Requires: [Python](https://www.python.org), [Pio](https://pypi.org/project/pio), command to be run in the root directory of the firmware project once you’ve cloned it (this last requirement is an assumption based on pio not knowing what a tbeam is, may also require Visual Studio Code and PlatformIO as these were installed during use).
### Esptool.py
@1984 posted another method using the python based esptool.py to erase and re-flash the firmware:
```shell
esptool.py --baud 921600 erase_flash
esptool.py --baud 921600 write_flash 0x1000 system-info.bin
esptool.py --baud 921600 write_flash 0x00390000 spiffs-*.bin
esptool.py --baud 921600 write_flash 0x10000 firmware-tbeam-EU865-1.1.42.bin
```
Requires: [Python](https://www.python.org) and [esptool.py](https://github.com/espressif/esptool)
### Visual Studio & PlatformIO
There is also the method of using the Visual Studio IDE. This requires having Visual Studio and PlatformIO installed, along with having cloned the firmware code as per the [build instructions](/docs/development/firmware/build). After loading the project in Visual Studio, select the PlatformIO alien icon, then find the appropriate device, and then click the Erase Flash command.
![Erasing the flash using PlatformIO in Visual Studio Code](/img/platformio-erase.png)
https://meshtastic.discourse.group/t/configuring-channel-via-python-api/1948/17
Requires: [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com), [PlatformIO](https://platformio.org), cloned copy of the Meshtastic Firmware project
## How do I know it's worked?
Once it has been successfully erased and re-flashed, visiting https://192.168.42.1/static should leave you with free space on the order of 300,000 bytes, rather than the ~48,000 bytes you currently have. You can then upload the files from the meshtastic web release.
Occasionally, this may glitch may appear when uploading the larger app.js.gz file, but a further erase and flash typically solves this.

Before you flash your device start by verifying connectivity with the device being flashed. Outlined below are steps that can be taken to verify connectivity and, if necessary, to install the appropriate drivers. If you end up needing to install drivers be sure to reboot your computer afterwards to verify the installation is complete.
:::note
The [T-Beam 0.7](/docs/hardware/devices/tbeam#t-beam---v07) board is an earlier version of the T-Beam board, and due to changes in the design in subsequent iterations this board uses a specific firmware file different from the other T-Beam boards.
`firmware-tbeam0.7-1.x.x.bin` is the correct firmware. `firmware-tbeam-1.x.x.bin` is incompatible. For all other [T-Beam](/docs/hardware/devices/tbeam) boards `firmware-tbeam-1.x.x.bin` is the correct selection.

Meshtastic requires the Arduino bootloader on RAK WisBlock nRF52-based boards. The process of converting the bootloader only needs to be performed once.
Here are two ways to flash the bootloader:
## USB Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU)
1. Install [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
2. Install [adafruit-nrfutil](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_nrfutil)
```shell
pip3 install adafruit-nrfutil
```
3. Download the required bootloader: [WisCore_RAK4631_Board_Bootloader.zip](https://github.com/RAKWireless/WisBlock/releases/download/0.4.2/WisCore_RAK4631_Board_Bootloader.zip)
4. Connect your RAK device by USB.
5. Flash the bootloader
```shell
adafruit-nrfutil --verbose dfu serial --package ./WisCore_RAK4631_Board_Bootloader.zip -p /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200 --singlebank --touch 1200
```
Note: The serial port name (`/dev/ttyACM0`) may differ depending on your operating system. Make sure to identify the correct port name for your setup.
6. Continue with the normal [flashing instructions](/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/nrf52/drag-n-drop)
## Debugger
This conversion requires the use of either a [DAPLink](https://daplink.io/) or [J-Link](https://www.segger.com/products/debug-probes/j-link/). The most reasonably priced and available is the [RAKDAP1](https://store.rakwireless.com/products/daplink-tool).

nRF52 devices use the [Drag & Drop](/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/nrf52/drag-n-drop) installation method to install firmware releases.
### Over-The-Air (OTA)
nRF52 devices are able to accept [OTA firmware updates](/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/nrf52/ota) from a mobile device over bluetooth.
### Factory Erase
You may wish to perform a [Factory Erase](/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/nrf52/nrf52-erase) prior to installing firmware to clear data that may change format and location between releases.
### Convert RAK4631-R to RAK4631

The Meshtastic devices (of various flavors) lend themselves to experimentation, not only because you can replace their aerials, but also because of their mesh operation. All nodes will, without alteration, relay communications from any other members of the mesh around obstacles and over greater distances. The cost of aerial investment should be weighed against investment in additional low-cost nodes.

### GPIO
:::caution Note
There is no usable GPIO pin on any RAK base board except the 'big' baseboard RAK19001 without adding a RAK13002 IO module or a third party IO sensor breakout.
:::
The RAK4631 uses symbolic labels for its I/O Pins on the module and baseboard silk screens. The following table shows the mapping of the RAK4631 GPIO pins to the corresponding Arduino pins and the MCU Port numbers.
| RAK Pin | nRF52840 Pin | Arduino GPIO | Remark |
| ------- | ------------ | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| IO1 | P0.17 | 17 | used to toggle power to peripheral modules using 3v3_S power rail, not available for user application |
| IO2 | P1.02 | 34 | used to power all peripheral modules, not available for user application |
| IO3 | P0.21 | 21 |
| IO4 | P0.04 | 4 |
| IO5 | P0.09 | 9 | The 'User Button' is mapped here. |
| IO6 | P0.10 | 10 |
| IO7 | P0.28 | 28 |
| SW1 | P0.01 | 1 |
| A0 | P0.04/AIN2 | A2 |
| A1 | P0.31/AIN7 | A7 |
| SPI_CS | P0.26 | 26 |
When configuring GPIO pins in your device settings, the Arduino GPIO numbers should be used.
```shell title="Example"
meshtastic --set external_notification.output 10
```
This will use IO6 on a RAK4631

### Set your region
In order to start communicating with your mesh, you must select a region. This setting controls which frequency range your device uses and should be set according to your location. See [Region Settings](https://meshtastic.org/docs/getting-started/initial-config#set-regional-settings) for a list of region codes and their meanings.

### Change your name
Edit the "Your name", e.g. to be "Mike Bird". This is the name that other people will see, so make it unique within your group. The initials e.g. "MB" should also be unique and will be used to identify you in the message history and on the device screens.

The initials e.g. "MB" should also be unique and will be used to identify you in the message history and on the device screens. Initials, or "short name", can be customized in the Radio configuration - User settings. The four characters displayed after your initials cannot be changed. These are the last four hex digits of the device MAC address. Devices with unset names will display these four characters as the device short name.

#### Broadcast position period
This allows you to disable or change the frequency with which your location is broadcast across the mesh. By default, this is set to 900 seconds (15 minutes). The minimum time this can be set for the default channel is 375 seconds, the reasons for which have been [discussed on the forum](https://meshtastic.discourse.group/t/lost-messages-while-testing/2455/19).
#### Device sleep period (now disabled by default & no longer recommended)
ESP32 devices can enter sleep mode to save battery life. During sleep Bluetooth is turned off. This setting allows the length of the sleep mode to be changed from the default 300 seconds (5 minutes). After this time period, they awake to check the phone for any queued messages and then go back to sleep, alternating between sleep and awake states. Receiving a message over LoRa (the LoRa receiver never switches off) or pressing a program button (if there is one on the device) also awakes the device.
Radio Configuration opens a list of all radio and module configuration settings.

## Official Meshtastic ATAK Plugin
Meshtastic can integrate with ATAK on Android using the [Official ATAK Plugin.](https://github.com/meshtastic/ATAK-Plugin)
### Introduction
The ATAK plugin does not permit any Meshtastic configuration. The plugin does three things:
1. Bind to the IMeshService provided by the Meshtastic Android App in order to send.
2. Intercept all outgoing ATAK CoT via the ATAK "PreSendProcessor" Interface and send them to the IMeshService.
3. Listen for broadcasts from the Meshtastic Android App regarding ATAK_FORWARDER portnum packets.
The current iteration works very well for ATAK CoT that fit within the 200ish byte range (after we shrink via libcotshirnk) because they fit into a single DataPacket.
### Instructions
1. Use the Meshtastic Android App on all party's devices, and ensure they can talk to their local LoRa radio. Confirm they are able to achieve basic text messaging using the App.
2. With the Meshtastic Android App running in the background (to ensure the IMeshService is alive), launch ATAK (with the Meshtastic ATAK-Plugin installed or install it once ATAK is running) and you should observe a green Meshtastic icon in the bottom right. If the icon is red, then the plugin was not able to bind to the IMeshService provided by the Meshtastic Android App. If this is the case, check to ensure the Meshtastic Android App is functioning. The plugin will reconnect after a failed bind without restarting ATAK.
3. ATAK PLI and simple map markers will fit within the "small send" DataPackets. Sending larger CoT such as freestyle map drawings or GeoChats will fragment and take longer to send. Don't try to send a bunch without waiting for the previous one to complete.

## CalTopo / SARTopo
Meshtastic can integrate with [CalTopo](https://caltopo.com/) Desktop edition quite easily through the product's APRS over serial support functionality.

?autohide=1&autoplay=0" width="100%" height="400"></object>
### Configuring the Meshtastic device
To configure our Meshtastic device for this integration, we have a couple of different options, both of which utilize the [Serial module](/docs/configuration/module/serial):
#### Enabling serial over the device's USB port
```shell title="Serial over USB"
meshtastic --set serial.enabled true --set serial.baud BAUD_9600 --set serial.mode CALTOPO --set serial.override_console_serial_port true
```
#### Enabling serial over an external USB to Serial adapter
```shell title="External serial adapter"
meshtastic --set serial.enabled true --set serial.baud BAUD_9600 --set serial.mode CALTOPO --set serial.txd = 13 --set serial.rxd = 14
```
:::info
Ensure that serial baud rate is set to `9600` on both the Meshtastic device and the CalTopo / SARTopo `topo.properties` configuration
:::
### Setting up CalTopo / SARTopo
To setup CalTopo for Meshtastic integration using the Live Tracking via APRS, refer to the official [documentation](https://training.caltopo.com/all_users/share/live-tracking#aprs).
Example `topo.properties` file configuration for use with Meshtastic:
![topo.properties](/img/software/integrations/caltopo/properties.png)
After starting CalTopo Desktop, NMEA waypoint location sentences should be streamed into the logs from the connected Meshtastic device every 10 seconds:
![CalTopo Logs](/img/software/integrations/caltopo/logs.png)
In the desktop's web UI for your CalTopo map, scroll down and check the **Shared Locations** checkbox under **Realtime Data**. Your nodes should appear on the map as points if they are connected correctly.
![shared-locations](/img/software/integrations/caltopo/local-stations.png)
You can click on one or more of the node points and in the resulting tooltip, click **Record to Map**
![node point](/img/software/integrations/caltopo/click.png)
In the resulting dialog, you can assign attributes such as a label or color to the live track created by the node.
![track](/img/software/integrations/caltopo/track.png)
When you view the shared map on another device or mobile, the nodes should appear there as well now, if both the desktop and mobile device have internet connectivity.

While you can interact with it in the same way as a normal device using a client that supports TCP connections, the application has its limitations. For example, rebooting is not implemented, so for some settings to apply you have to restart the application.
