## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
There are many ways to connect to your newly flashed device. Below is a quickstart for each client that you can use to connect to your radio.
|
||||
|
||||
### Commandline Interface (CLI)
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI is currently the best way to manage your settings. It is feature rich and well documented. The [settings pages](/docs/settings) have examples for each user preference for the device. The CLI is available as a standalone executable for Windows, Mac OS or linux or as part of the [Meshtastic-python](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-python) project. If you'd like to use python to interface with a device, see the [API documentation](https://python.meshtastic.org).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
To install the prebuilt binary refer to: [Meshtastic-python standalone executable](/docs/software/python/python-standalone).
|
||||
|
||||
To install/upgrade Meshtastic-python manually, see below:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell title="Install Meshtastic-python (includes CLI)"
|
||||
pip install meshtastic
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```shell title="Upgrade Meshtastic-python (includes CLI)"
|
||||
pip install --upgrade meshtastic
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
Some installations of python may require you to substitute 'pip3' for the 'pip' command.
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
#### Verify Connection
|
||||
|
||||
After installing, run one of the following commands to see if the device is communicating correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell title="View connected node info"
|
||||
meshtastic --info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```shell title="View nodes detected on mesh"
|
||||
meshtastic --nodes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For more details about CLI usage, see the [settings](/docs/settings) pages or [CLI guide](/docs/software/python/python-cli).

### Serial
|
||||
|
||||
Using your preferred program (PuTTy, Serial, etc) connect to your device with the following settings to see the logs in real time.
|
||||
|
||||
| Baudrate | Data Bits | Parity | Stop Bits |
|
||||
| :------: | :-------: | :----: | :-------: |
|
||||
| `921600` | `8` | `None` | `1` |
|
||||
|
||||
### Web
|
||||
|
||||
<!--- FIXME add self hosting details link --->
|
||||
|
||||
The web interface is available for all browsers, but [bluetooth and serial capabilities are limited](https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic.js#compatibility). You can connect to your node using:
|
||||
|
||||
- [client.meshtastic.org](https://client.meshtastic.org)
|
||||
- BLE
|
||||
- HTTP
|
||||
- Serial
|
||||
- [ESP32 WiFi SoftAP](/docs/settings/wifi#software-access-point)
|
||||
- [ESP32 as Client](/docs/settings/wifi#wifi-client)
|
||||
|
||||
The Meshtastic firmware incorporates an embedded web server using the [ESP32 HTTPS Server](https://github.com/fhessel/esp32_https_server) project. This allows the WiFi supporting ESP32 devices to run our web interface to access Meshtastic directly from your browser. This imports the [Meshtastic.js library](/docs/software/js/getting-started) to provide a web page capable of interacting with the device.
|
||||
|
||||
There is active development ongoing to fix some issues with updating the web interface from the web interface directly. Please be patient with us as we work on this. Use [Meshtastic-flasher](/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/meshtastic-flasher) to update your device to the current stable build which includes the web interface.

The following are important steps you should take before transmitting any messages. Make sure that you have flashed your device with Meshtastic and connected with a client before proceeding.
|
||||
|
||||
### Set Region
|
||||
|
||||
:::important
|
||||
Make sure to set your `region` to the correct region so you don't transmit on an incorrect frequency.
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
The `region` variable sets which region your radio is configured to work in. It is important to ensure that you've set it to the correct region. If left `Unset`, it will default to `US` settings.

### Connect via USB and CLI
|
||||
|
||||
If you have at least two radios with the Meshtastic firmware, you may consider connecting one via USB and the other battery powered. Communicate with the USB radio using a CLI like [Meshtastic-python](/docs/software/python/python-installation).
|
||||
|
||||
- Ensure you can run `meshtastic --info`.
|
||||
- Ensure the region is set appropriately. If the radios are 915 MHz and you are in the US, then no region changes/settings are necessary. If you are in another region, you may need to run something like: `meshtastic --set region EU865`.
|
||||
- Send a message `meshtastic --sendtext hello1`
|
||||
- Note: The radio connected via USB will not show messages sent.
|
||||
- After a few seconds the other radios will show the message. You may need to press one of the buttons on the other radio to see if the message arrived.
|
||||
- Run `meshtastic --nodes` to see if other nodes show in the display.
|
||||
- Messages sent from the USB radio should be sent to the other radio(s) via LoRa. The default settings should allow this to work.
|
||||
|
||||
### Connect via Bluetooth
|
||||
|
||||
The Android app is currently more robust than the iOS app. But, they both should be able to interact with the radios.
|
||||
|
||||
- Install Android or iOS Meshtastic app
|
||||
- Start Meshtastic app
|
||||
- Connect to radio(s) from inside the app
|
||||
- Pair with radio(s). A paring code should show on the radio. Enter that value when prompted to pair a Bluetooth device.
|
||||
- In the event you don't have a screen. double press the io button and the value will be set to 123456. (on the tbeam this is the center button)
|
||||
- Send message(s) from inside the app.
|
||||
- Note: The radio connected via Bluetooth will not show messages sent.
|
||||
- Verify that all other radios are receiving the message(s). Might have to click on the button on the radio to see most recent message.
|
||||
|
||||
### Connect via WiFi/HTTP
|
||||
|
||||
- Configure the _wifi_ssid_ and _wifi_password_. `meshtastic --set wifi_ssid 'xxx' --set wifi_password 'yyy'` (where xxx and yyy are the appropriate values for your network)
|
||||
- Reboot radio by either removing power or pressing the power button.
|
||||
- Click on the button to cycle through to the screen with IP address and verify that there was a connection to the Wifi access point.
|
||||
- Send message(s). `meshtastic --host 192.168.1.200 --sendtext hello`
|
||||
- Note: The radio connected via Wifi will not show messages sent.
|
||||
- Verify that all radios are receiving the message(s). Might have to click on the button on the radio(s) to see most recent message.
|
||||
- Open up a browser to http://meshtastic.local to view the web UI (currently under development). You may need to open http://meshtastic.local/static )
|
||||
- If you want to switch back to Bluetooth, you will need to set the _wifi_ssid_ and _wifi_password_ values to blank values (ex: `meshtastic --set wifi_ssid '' --set wifi_password ''`).

## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
### Device connectivity
|
||||
For ESP32 devices if the device already has a version of Meshtastic installed using the OTA firmware upgrade tool in the Android app is the friendliest path for users. OTA firmware updates are not yet available on Apple platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure your computer is communicating with the device correctly by following [these instructions](/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/).
|
||||
|
||||
### Download Latest Firmware
|
||||
|
||||
Firmware can be downloaded from the [Downloads](/downloads) page. Your initial installation has to happen over USB from your Mac, Windows, or Linux computer. Over the air updates are currently only available using the Android application after this initial installation.
|
||||
If your ESP32 device does not have Meshtastic pre-installed flashing
|
||||
Before you flash your device start by verifiying 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/supported/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.

## Meshtastic Flasher GUI Application
|
||||
|
||||
For most users we recommend using the [Meshtastic Flasher application](/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/meshtastic-flasher). It does a lot under the hood to prevent you from needing to use the terminal. It also allows you to configure your device.
|
||||
|
||||
If you choose to flash the firmware using the manual method, [ESP32 based devices](/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/flashing-esp32) and [NRF52 based devices](/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/flashing-nrf52) have different methods. Select the appropriate one. If you don't know what chipset your device is, take a look at our supported hardware section.

You can verify that you have a proper data cable (rather than a charge-only type cable) and that the appropriate drivers for your system are installed by performing the following test. Select your operating system below.
|
||||

||||
If you can see your device, you are ready to flash the firmware. Skip to the [Choose Firmware Flashing Method section](#choose-firmware-flashing-method).

||||
|
||||
If you don't see your device in the following test, you either:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Need to [install a driver](#install-appropriate-drivers).
|
||||
2. Are currently using a charging only cable.
