Settings

Setting	Acceptable Values	Default
auto_screen_carousel_secs	integer (seconds)	0
debug_log_enabled	true, false	false
factory_reset	true, false	false
frequency_offset	real numbers	0
ignore_incoming	string – list of node nums to ignore	0
serial_disabled	true, false	false
hop_limit	real numbers	0

auto_screen_carousel_secs

Automatically toggles to the next page on the screen like a carousel, based the specified interval in seconds. Potentially useful for devices without user buttons.

debug_log_enabled

By default we turn off logging as soon as an API client connects (to keep shared serial link quiet and save bandwidth). Set this to true to leave the debug log outputting even when API is active.

factory_reset

This setting is never saved to disk, but if set, all device settings will be returned to factory defaults. (Region, serial number etc... will be preserved)

frequency_offset

This parameter is for advanced users with advanced test equipment, we do not recommend most users use it. A frequency offset that is added to to the calculated band center frequency. Used to correct for crystal calibration errors.

ignore_incoming

If true, radio should not try to be smart about what packets to queue to the phone bool keep_all_packets = 101; If true, we will try to capture all the packets sent on the mesh, not just the ones destined to our node. bool promiscuous_mode = 102; For testing it is useful sometimes to force a node to never listen to particular other nodes (simulating radio out of range). All nodenums listed in ignore_incoming will have packets they send dropped on receive (by router.cpp)

serial_disabled

If set, this will disable the SerialConsole by not initializing the StreamAPI.

hop_limit

Overrides the default number of hops a message will be passed. If not set, will default to 3 hops.

Meshtastic allows a maximum of 7 hops (this is a limit of the protocol). Setting a hop_limit of greater than 7 will be replaced with 7 on the device.
