I am a newb to this, so I will just admit that to start.
Searching has failed me.
Gear:
- T-Beam v1.1 with OLED that shipped with Meshtastic - 2 of these
- TTGO Lora ESP32 V2.1 1.6 that shipped with another firmware - 3 of these
All gear running 1.2.38.
Biggest issue: Restarts on message receive.
I am connected with BLE to one of the T-Beams with an S10+5G running the Meshtastic app. When I send a message, the node I am using works as expected (if not stuck in “device is sleeping”). When the other nodes receive the message, if they were in sleep mode already, they will sometimes reboot.
A few times I have seen the message right before the reboot.
This includes the other T-Beam as well.
I have attempted to reflash with clean firmware on all devices, including redoing the partitions. (Windows 10 using esptool and gui flasher both.)
Second Issue: Web Interface chat failure
I understand this is still in heavy development. I am able to get a T-Beam to join wifi, or even act as an AP. When I attempt to send a message via the web interface, nothing happens, and even the message I hit send on doesn’t appear in the interface. Clean flash and upload returns same results, tested on both T-Beams.
Third Issue: Channel Creation Fails
When attempting to create a channel with the meshtastic python util, it returns the following message:
PS C:\Users\zolon> meshtastic --port COM22 --ch-add admin
Connected to radio
Aborting due to: name ‘genPSKS256’ is not defined
Yet, most of the other meshtastic options work, including joining wifi.
Last issue: pygui fails to load.
When I attempt to run pygui I get the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “d:\python\python38\lib\runpy.py”, line 194, in run_module_as_main
return run_code(code, main_globals, None,
File “d:\python\python38\lib\runpy.py”, line 87, in run_code

from map import mapNODE
ImportError: cannot import name ‘mapNODE’ from ‘map’ (d:\python\python38\lib\site-packages\map_init.py)
I have attempted running this with multiple python versions, and all of the dependencies listed in the instructions show they are installed (pip, pip3, and multiple py -m or python -m methods.).
Here is the --info from the “primary” node I use:

Any help on any of these issue welcome, and I am willing to even switch to a different OS/System if needed. I can do Win10, PiOS, ubuntu (arm and x64), and MacOSX Catalina.
Thanks,
