:::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.

:::note
|
|
This module requires attaching a peripheral accessory to your device. It will not work without one. It also requires use of the [Rotary Encoder Module](input-broker-module) to configure the input source.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The CannedMessage Module will allow you to send messages to the mesh network from the device without using the phone app. You can predefine text messages to choose from.
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
Once module settings are changed, a **reset** is required for them to take effect.
|
|

|
|
## Settings
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Acceptable Values | Default |
|
|
| :--------------------------------------: | :---------------: | :-----: |
|
|
| canned_message_module_allow_input_source | `rotEnc1`, `_any` | `_any` |
|
|
| canned_message_module_enabled | `true`, `false` | `false` |
|
|
| canned_message_module_messages | `string` | `""` |
|
|
| canned_message_module_send_bell | `true`, `false` | `false` |
|
|
| (Messages)* | `string` | `""` |
|
|
|
|
- Messages can be set with a dedicated option:
|
|
|
|
`--set-canned-message "<messages>"`
|
|
|
|
### canned_message_module_allow_input_source
|
|
|
|
Input event source accepted by the canned message module.
|
|
|
|
| Value | Description |
|
|
| :-------: | :-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
|
|
| `_any` | Default. Allows any peripheral input device connected to the device. |
|
|
| `rotEnc1` | Hardcoded value naming the input device that this module listens to. This could allow multiple input devices to be named with future software development. At present, this doesn't do anything differently than the default setting. |

|
|
|
|
Enables the module.
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
Using the canned message module requires you set up the [Rotary Encoder Module](input-broker-module). See [prerequisites](#prerequisites) below.

### canned_message_module_send_bell
|
|
|
|
CannedMessageModule also sends a "bell character" with the messages.
|
|
The [External Notification Module](external-notification-module) can benefit from this feature as it utilizes the bell character.
|
|
|
|
_We have an "External Notification Module", that can be set up to beep, when new message arrives.
|
|
This module can also be configured to beep only when message contains the "bell character".
|
|
See module documentation (link above) for details._

### Messages
|
|
|
|
CLI has a dedicated option for canned message module to set predefines messages: `--set-canned-message <message>`
|
|
Predefined messages separated by `|` characters.
|
|
|
|
You can define up to 50 messages with a total length 800 bytes.
|
|
|
|
Existing configuration can be queried with CLI option: `--get-canned-message`

|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
<!--- TODO add link to hardware pages to first bullet point --->
|
|
|
|
- Attach a compatible peripheral device. Take note of the GPIO numbers you use, as they will be used in the following step.
|
|
- Once attached, configure peripheral device with [Rotary Encoder Module](input-broker-module) Settings.
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
Replace each `GPIO` (x3) below with the GPIO numbers from hardware setup.
|
|
|
|
```shell title="Canned Message Module - Required Rotary Encoder Module Settings"
|
|
meshtastic --set rotary1_pin_a GPIO
|
|
meshtastic --set rotary1_pin_b GPIO
|
|
meshtastic --set rotary1_pin_press GPIO
|
|
meshtastic --set rotary1_event_cw KEY_UP
|
|
meshtastic --set rotary1_event_ccw KEY_DOWN
|
|
meshtastic --set rotary1_event_press KEY_SELECT
|
|
meshtastic --set rotary1_enabled True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
That's it! With a functioning and enabled rotary encoder, you're ready to begin configuring the Canned Message Module.
