This library provides a command-line interface (CLI) for managing the user settings of Meshtastic nodes and provides an easy API for sending and receiving messages over mesh radios.
Parameters Configuration
In order to start communicating over the mesh, you must set your region. This setting controls which frequency range your device uses and should be set according to your regional location.
- IOS App
- Android App
- Web Client
- CLI
Run the following command, replacing REGION-CODE with the region code listed above according to your regional location.
meshtastic --set lora.region <REGION-CODE>
For example:
