This is a fork of the official Meshtastic firmware, adding servo support.
Meshtastic is an open-source LoRa mesh networking project designed for long-range, low-power communication without relying on internet or cellular infrastructure. The firmware supports various hardware platforms, including ESP32, nRF52, RP2040/RP2350, and Linux-based devices.
Meshtastic enables text messaging, location sharing, and telemetry over a decentralized mesh network, making it ideal for outdoor adventures, emergency preparedness, and remote operations.
This fork adds an ability to remotely control a servo connected to a Meshtastic device. Think remote controlled geocaches, vents, release mechanisms, etc.
- 🔧 Building Instructions – Learn how to compile the firmware from source.
- ⚡ Flashing Instructions – Install or update the firmware on your device.
This fork adds additional configuration settings:
- servo_control.enabled - true / false
- servo_control.gpio_pin - GPIO pin the servo is connected to
- servo_control.open_position - OPEN position 0-180°
- servo_control.closed_position - CLOSED position 0-180°
- servo_control.authorized_key - list of public keys of authorized nodes
Use my fork of Python CLI or Android App to set them before first use.
The firmware recognizes the following text commands:
- OPEN moves the servo to the OPEN position
- CLOSE moves the servo to the CLOSED position
- STATUS responds with the current state of the servo
Use Quick chat options to make sending those commands faster.
