Below is a Python 3 example using the Meshtastic Python API to send a message over the mesh and to read/update a radio configuration setting. Before running the code, install the library by following the installation instructions.

... This small library (and example application) provides an easy API for sending and receiving messages over mesh radios. It also provides access to any of the operations/data available in the device user interface or the Android application.

# Example Usage ``` import meshtastic import meshtastic.serial_interface from pubsub import pub def onReceive(packet, interface): # called when a packet arrives print(f"Received: {packet}") def onConnection(interface, topic=pub.AUTO_TOPIC): # called when we (re)connect to the radio # defaults to broadcast, specify a destination ID if you wish interface.sendText("hello mesh") pub.subscribe(onReceive, "meshtastic.receive") pub.subscribe(onConnection, "meshtastic.connection.established") # By default will try to find a meshtastic device, otherwise provide a device path like /dev/ttyUSB0 interface

The python pip package installs a "meshtastic" command line executable, which displays packets sent over the network as JSON and lets you see serial debugging information from the meshtastic devices.

This pip package will also install a "meshtastic" command line executable, which displays packets sent over the network as JSON and lets you see serial debugging information from the meshtastic devices. The source code for this tool is also a good example of a 'complete' application that uses the meshtastic python API.

Full documentation including examples here. Installation is easily done through the Python package installer pip (note, you must use pip version 20 or later): check that your computer has the required serial drivers installed, if not download them from here. ... import meshtastic interface = meshtastic.SerialInterface() # By default will try to find a meshtastic device, otherwise provide a device path like /dev/ttyUSB0 interface.sendText("hello mesh") # or sendData to send binary data, see documentations for other options.

But suffice it to say, it is really easy (note, you must use pip version 20 or later): ... import meshtastic interface = meshtastic.StreamInterface() # By default will try to find a meshtastic device, otherwise provide a device path like /dev/ttyUSB0 interface.sendText("hello mesh") # or sendData to send binary data, see documentations for other options.

September 9, 2021 - Reading through the Meshtastic-python documentation, I found a small example of how to connect to the device using Python (over a USB cable from the Pi) and start listening to packets as they arrive.
