SerialInterface

✓ from meshtastic import SerialInterface

✗ from meshtastic import SerialInterface

Connects to a Meshtastic device via serial and sends a broadcast message.

import meshtastic import meshtastic.serial_interface import time # Replace with your serial port, e.g., '/dev/ttyUSB0' or 'COM3' iface = meshtastic.serial_interface.SerialInterface('/dev/ttyUSB0') try: print("Connected! Sending a message...") iface.sendText("Hello mesh!", destinationId=meshtastic.BROADCAST_NUM) time.sleep(2) finally: iface.close()

meshtastic --version

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn meshtastic >= 2.0, the SerialInterface constructor no longer accepts a baudrate parameter; baudrate is auto-detected.

fix

Remove any explicit baudrate argument when creating SerialInterface, e.g., SerialInterface('/dev/ttyUSB0') instead of SerialInterface('/dev/ttyUSB0', 115200).

affects: >=2.0.0

breakingThe 'sendData' method was removed in favor of 'sendText' and 'sendRaw'.

fix

Replace calls to iface.sendData(data) with iface.sendText(data) for text or iface.sendRaw(data) for raw bytes.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaWhen connecting via TCP (WiFi), use meshtastic.tcp.TCPInterface, not meshtastic.serial_interface.

fix

from meshtastic.tcp import TCPInterface; iface = TCPInterface('192.168.1.100')

affects: all

deprecatedThe top-level 'meshtastic' module functions like 'sendText' are deprecated; use instance methods.

fix

Use iface.sendText() instead of meshtastic.sendText(iface, 'hello')

affects: >=2.0.0
