Meshtastic.js - a javascript library for meshtastic

Development
1

Hi all,

there is now a javascript library that allows building web/js applications for meshtastic.
@geeksville offered to add it to the official meshtastic github project, so it can now be found here: https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic.js

What it can do:

  • Connect to multiple meshtastic devices
  • Start configuration process on connect
  • Get device info and node database
  • Receive messages from device
  • Send messages (text, position, data, packet)
  • Set device preferences
  • Set owner data

Right now all this is possible over bluetooth - the browser must support that. HTTP and USB Serial connections are planned.
Also, the documentation/examples is not complete yet, a work in progress.

If you have any thoughts or questions about it, feel free to share. :slight_smile:

@thepoweroftwo Excellent addition to the project.

I have a couple of TTGO LORA32 v1’s without the GPS. Look forward to implementing sending a location.

Thanks
