TC²-BBS Meshtastic Version

This is the TC²-BBS system integrated with Meshtastic devices. The system allows for message handling, bulletin boards, mail systems, and a channel directory.

Setup

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • Meshtastic
  • pypubsub

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/TheCommsChannel/TC2-BBS-mesh.git
cd TC2-BBS-mesh
  1. Set up a Python virtual environment:
python -m venv venv
  1. Activate the virtual environment:
  • On Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
  • On macOS and Linux:
source venv/bin/activate
  1. Install the required packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Set up the configuration in config.ini:

[interface]

If using type = serial and you have multiple devices connected, you will need to uncomment the port = line and enter in the port of your device.

Linux Example: port = /dev/ttyUSB0

Windows Example: port = COM3

If using type = tcp you will need to uncomment the hostname = 192.168.x.x line and put in the IP address of your Meshtastic device

[sync]

Enter in a list of other BBS nodes you would like to sync messages and bulletins with. Separate each by comma and no spaces as shown in the example below. You can find the nodeID in the menu under Radio Configuration > User for each node, or use this script for getting nodedb data from a device:

Meshtastic-Python-Examples/print-nodedb.py at main · pdxlocations/Meshtastic-Python-Examples (github.com)

Example Config:

[interface]
type = serial
# port = /dev/ttyUSB0
# hostname = 192.168.x.x

[sync]
bbs_nodes = !f53f4abc,!f3abc123
