## Roles
| Device Role | Description | Best Uses |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| CLIENT | App connected or stand alone messaging device. | General use for individuals needing to communicate over the Meshtastic network with support for client applications. |
| CLIENT_MUTE | Device that does not forward packets from other devices. | Situations where a device needs to participate in the network without assisting in packet routing, reducing network load. |
| CLIENT_HIDDEN | Device that only broadcasts as needed for stealth or power savings. | Use in stealth/hidden deployments or to reduce airtime/power consumption while still participating in the network. |
| TRACKER | Broadcasts GPS position packets as priority. | Tracking the location of individuals or assets, especially in scenarios where timely and efficient location updates are critical. |
| LOST_AND_FOUND | Broadcasts location as message to default channel regularly for to assist with device recovery. | Used for recovery efforts of a lost device. |
| SENSOR | Broadcasts telemetry packets as priority. | Deploying in scenarios where gathering environmental or other sensor data is crucial, with efficient power usage and frequent updates. |
| TAK | Optimized for ATAK system communication, reduces routine broadcasts. | Integration with ATAK systems (via the Meshtastic ATAK Plugin) for communication in tactical or coordinated operations. |
| TAK_TRACKER | Enables automatic TAK PLI broadcasts and reduces routine broadcasts. | Standalone PLI integration with ATAK systems for communication in tactical or coordinated operations. |
| REPEATER | Infrastructure node for extending network coverage by relaying messages with minimal overhead. Not visible in Nodes list. | Best positioned in strategic locations to maximize the network's overall coverage. Device is not shown in topology. |

| ROUTER_LATE | Infrastructure node that always rebroadcasts packets once but only after all other modes, ensuring additional coverage for local clusters. Visble in Nodes list. | Ideal for covering dead spots or ensuring reliability for a cluster of nodes where placement doesn’t benefit the broader mesh. Device is shown in topology. |

The easiest way of building the native application is using Visual Studio Code with the PlatformIO extension.
See the instructions for creating such a building environment [here](/docs/development/firmware/build).
<NativeLibraries />
Then after opening the firmware repository in Visual Studio Code, simply click on the PlatformIO extension in the left bar, select native and click on 'Build'.
This will generate the binary file 'program' which you can find in `.pio/build/native/`.
Once in this directory or when you copied the file to your current directory, launch the application with `./program`.

Be aware that the Meshtastic CLI is not able to control the nodes over USB through termux, but you can control devices over Wifi using the `--host x.x.x.x` option with the device IP address (ESP32 or Pico W only).
