1.2.0 alpha support thread

Development Alpha Testers

Not sure if this is just me, but I can’t seem to get the radio into “short fast” mode.

Both of these commands fail

PS C:\Users\Charles\Documents\GitHub\Meshtastic\Meshtastic-device\proto> meshtastic  --setch-shortfast       
Connected to radio
'RadioConfig' object has no attribute 'channel_settings'

**PS C:\Users\Charles\Documents\GitHub\Meshtastic\Meshtastic-device\proto> meshtastic  --setchan modem_config 1
Connected to radio
'RadioConfig' object has no attribute 'channel_settings'

This is with:

PS C:\Users\Charles\Documents\GitHub\Meshtastic\Meshtastic-device\proto> meshtastic --version
1.2.0

hmm meshtastic-python 1.2.0 should not allow you to talk to a 1.1.x version of the device code at all. It should say:

~/development/meshtastic/meshtastic-python$ meshtastic --info

(I just moved @crossan007’s comment here because I realized he must be using the 1.2.0 device firmware)

The 1.2.1 firmware is ready for developers to use (but I wouldn’t yet recommend yet even for other alpha testers, probably won’t be ready for ya’lls great help until 1.2.2 ish…

But @crossan007 thanks! You found a place where I forgot to update the channel setting code in the python tool. I’ll fix it tomorrow and push out a new version of the python tool.
