### Volunteer Based Development
|
||||
|
||||
Meshtastic is a team of volunteers, and as such there is always plenty of ways to help. This project gets great contributions from people in their off hours. Those contributors work on the features they are interested in. It is a very open and welcoming developer community, and we are always looking for help to improve Meshtastic.

|
||||
|
||||
- If you're a developer, there's plenty stuff to do. Dig in!
|
||||
- If you're interacting with Meshtastic radios, we could use help with testing, documenting, and providing feedback.
|
||||
- If you're into Web Development, check out the different web repos.
|
||||
- If you're into Kotlin and Android, check out the link to the repo below.
|
||||
- If you're into Python, check out the link to the repo below
|
||||
- If you're into SwiftUI, check out the link to the repo below
|
||||
- If you're into Ham Radio and LoRa, then this is a great project for you!
|
||||
- ... basically... we would love to have your help and feedback

### Device Firmware
|
||||
|
||||
The [firmware](https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware) is where all of the firmware development happens. This is where the code for the ESP32 and nRF52 based devices is developed. It is mainly C and C++ code. Think Arduino. It is where the first level of hardware interaction begins and ends.

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

### CLI Apps (Device Interface)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Meshtastic Python CLI** - The [meshtastic/Meshtastic-python](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-python) repository is typically where the first device interaction takes place, but that is not a requirement. This repo has a command line utility that allows you to interact with most functionality with the devices. This python library can also be consumed for other applications.

|

See the [Android development instructions](/docs/development/android) on how to create a development environment and build the Meshtastic Android App.
|

||||
### Why does my operating system flag Meshtastic Flasher as having malware?
|
||||
|
||||
The flasher contains no malware and completely passed the Microsoft malware scanning. It appears that a lot of file download services are using the Windows Defender data, so if you're seeing alerts of a detected trojan please [update your Windows Defender definitions](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/defenderupdates).

`FIXED_PIN` uses the fixed PIN that should then be additionally specified.

||||
Finally, `NO_PIN` disables PIN authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
### 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.
|
||||
|
||||
### Default Pairing Mode
|
||||
|
||||
The default pairing mode will be determined based on whether the device has or does not have a screen attached to it during the first boot (or with a stale device state) unless manually configured via the Bluetooth config options.
|
||||
|
||||
- **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.

### Install or Upgrade App
|
||||
|
||||
For **Windows**, the [installer](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-gui-installer/releases/download/winapp1.0.3/meshtastic-flasher.zip) will manage installing python and flasher updates automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
For **macOS** and **Linux**, it is recommended that you install using `pip`.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Update an existing installation using `pip install meshtastic-flasher -U`

## Flashing the Device
|
||||
|
||||
The Meshtastic Flasher will flash the latest firmware on esp32 and nrf52 devices. This is a newly developed application (as of February 1, 2022), so there may be some issues discovered as it is tested by users.
|
||||
|
||||
There are three steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click the **GET VERSIONS** button to get the versions available (from GitHub).
|
||||
2. Click the **DETECT DEVICE** button to determine the port and device variant connected.
|
||||
3. Click the **FLASH** button to flash the version selected using the port selected to the device.
|
||||
|
||||
## Issues?
|
||||
|
||||
If you run into an issue, please create a ticket here: [Flasher Issues](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-gui-installer/issues)
|
||||
|
||||
The code can be found at the [Meshtastic-gui-installer repo](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-gui-installer)
|
||||
|
||||
## Known limitations
|
||||
|
||||
The following are known limitations:
|
||||
|
||||
- Raspberry Pi is not available, since it is arm-based and there are no pre-built libraries for [PySide](https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python)
|
||||
- Ubuntu 20.04 is the version used for testing, it may work with other versions.
|
||||
- See [README](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-gui-installer/blob/master/README.md) for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Connect and Configure Device
|
||||
|
||||
