-## About MeshCore
+# Meshcore EVO - AOI Edition

-MeshCore is a lightweight, portable C++ library that enables multi-hop packet routing for embedded projects using LoRa and other packet radios. It is designed for developers who want to create resilient, decentralized communication networks that work without the internet.
+Diese Firmware wurde verändert:

-## 🔍 What is MeshCore?
+* Modifikation der Sensor-Firmware
+* Gestestet mit Heltec V4
+* Sollte theoretisch mit allen ESP-Boards funktionieren
+* GPIO15 und GPIO16 sind jeweils als Pullup-Eingang definiert.

-MeshCore now supports a range of LoRa devices, allowing for easy flashing without the need to compile firmware manually. Users can flash a pre-built binary using tools like Adafruit ESPTool and interact with the network through a serial console.
-MeshCore provides the ability to create wireless mesh networks, similar to Meshtastic and Reticulum but with a focus on lightweight multi-hop packet routing for embedded projects. Unlike Meshtastic, which is tailored for casual LoRa communication, or Reticulum, which offers advanced networking, MeshCore balances simplicity with scalability, making it ideal for custom embedded solutions., where devices (nodes) can communicate over long distances by relaying messages through intermediate nodes. This is especially useful in off-grid, emergency, or tactical situations where traditional communication infrastructure is unavailable.
+### Neue Befehle:

-## ⚡ Key Features
+* "io" gibt den zustand aller 32 GPIO-Pins als Hexcode aus. (Die originale FW gibt eine festcodierte 0 aus.)
+* "bin" gibt den zustand aller 32 GPIO-Pins als Binärcode aus
+* "readpin <pin>" gibt den zustand eines Pins als ON/OFF aus

-* Multi-Hop Packet Routing
-  * Devices can forward messages across multiple nodes, extending range beyond a single radio's reach.
-  * Supports up to a configurable number of hops to balance network efficiency and prevent excessive traffic.
-  * Nodes use fixed roles where "Companion" nodes are not repeating messages at all to prevent adverse routing paths from being used.
-* Supports LoRa Radios – Works with Heltec, RAK Wireless, and other LoRa-based hardware.
-* Decentralized & Resilient – No central server or internet required; the network is self-healing.
-* Low Power Consumption – Ideal for battery-powered or solar-powered devices.
-* Simple to Deploy – Pre-built example applications make it easy to get started.
+### Verwendung:

-## 🎯 What Can You Use MeshCore For?
+* GPIO 15 oder 16 können z.B. mit einm Schalter oder Relais verbunden werden.
+* Der standardmäßige zustand ist "ON", da intern 3,3V anliegen (Pull-Up Widerstand)
+* Wird ein GPIO nach Masse geschaltet, wechselt der Zustand nach "OFF"
+* Mit "readpin 0" kann als Test der User Button ausgelesen werden.

-* Off-Grid Communication: Stay connected even in remote areas.
-* Emergency Response & Disaster Recovery: Set up instant networks where infrastructure is down.
-* Outdoor Activities: Hiking, camping, and adventure racing communication.
-* Tactical & Security Applications: Military, law enforcement, and private security use cases.
-* IoT & Sensor Networks: Collect data from remote sensors and relay it back to a central location.
+#### Beispiel:

-## 🚀 How to Get Started
+Eine laufende Anlage hält ein Überwachungsrelais ständig angezogen, und schaltet GPIO15
+nach Masse. Der Zustand ist daher "OFF" (das könnte als Alarm: OFF gelesen werden).

- Watch the [MeshCore Intro Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1qne8uJBAc) by Andy Kirby.
- Read through our [Frequently Asked Questions](./docs/faq.md) section.
- Flash the MeshCore firmware on a supported device.
- Connect with a supported client.
+Fällt die Stromversorgung der Anlage aus, fällt das Relais ab. Der Zustand von GPIO15
+wechselt daher auf "ON" (das könnte wiederum als Alarm: ON gelesen werden)

-For developers;
+### Hardware:

- Install [PlatformIO](https://docs.platformio.org) in [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com).
- Clone and open the MeshCore repository in Visual Studio Code.
- See the example applications you can modify and run:
-  - [Companion Radio](./examples/companion_radio) - For use with an external chat app, over BLE, USB or WiFi.
-  - [KISS Modem](./examples/kiss_modem) - Serial KISS protocol bridge for host applications. ([protocol docs](./docs/kiss_modem_protocol.md))
-  - [Simple Repeater](./examples/simple_repeater) - Extends network coverage by relaying messages.
-  - [Simple Room Server](./examples/simple_room_server) - A simple BBS server for shared Posts.
-  - [Simple Secure Chat](./examples/simple_secure_chat) - Secure terminal based text communication between devices.
-  - [Simple Sensor](./examples/simple_sensor) - Remote sensor node with telemetry and alerting.
+#### Heltec V4:
+* Firmware kompiliert fehlerfrei und funktioniert
+* Der USR-Button kann mit "readpin 0" gelesen werden

-The Simple Secure Chat example can be interacted with through the Serial Monitor in Visual Studio Code, or with a Serial USB Terminal on Android.
-
-## ⚡️ MeshCore Flasher
-
-We have prebuilt firmware ready to flash on supported devices.
-
- Launch https://flasher.meshcore.co.uk
- Select a supported device
- Flash one of the firmware types:
-  - Companion, Repeater or Room Server
- Once flashing is complete, you can connect with one of the MeshCore clients below.
-
-## 📱 MeshCore Clients
-
-**Companion Firmware**
-
-The companion firmware can be connected to via BLE, USB or WiFi depending on the firmware type you flashed.
-
- Web: https://app.meshcore.nz
- Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liamcottle.meshcore.android
- iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/meshcore/id6742354151?platform=iphone
- NodeJS: https://github.com/liamcottle/meshcore.js
- Python: https://github.com/fdlamotte/meshcore-cli
-
-**Repeater and Room Server Firmware**
-
-The repeater and room server firmwares can be setup via USB in the web config tool.
-
- https://config.meshcore.dev
-
-They can also be managed via LoRa in the mobile app by using the Remote Management feature.
-
-## 🛠 Hardware Compatibility
-
-MeshCore is designed for devices listed in the [MeshCore Flasher](https://flasher.meshcore.co.uk)
-
-## 📜 License
-
-MeshCore is open-source software released under the MIT License. You are free to use, modify, and distribute it for personal and commercial projects.
-
-## Contributing
-
-Please submit PR's using 'dev' as the base branch!
-For minor changes just submit your PR and we'll try to review it, but for anything more 'impactful' please open an Issue first and start a discussion. Is better to sound out what it is you want to achieve first, and try to come to a consensus on what the best approach is, especially when it impacts the structure or architecture of this codebase.
-
-Here are some general principals you should try to adhere to:
-* Keep it simple. Please, don't think like a high-level lang programmer. Think embedded, and keep code concise, without any unnecessary layers.
-* No dynamic memory allocation, except during setup/begin functions.
-* Use the same brace and indenting style that's in the core source modules. (A .clang-format is prob going to be added soon, but please do NOT retroactively re-format existing code. This just creates unnecessary diffs that make finding problems harder)
-
-Help us prioritize! Please react with thumbs-up to issues/PRs you care about most. We look at reaction counts when planning work.
-
-## Road-Map / To-Do
-
-There are a number of fairly major features in the pipeline, with no particular time-frames attached yet. In very rough chronological order:
- [X] Companion radio: UI redesign
- [X] Repeater + Room Server: add ACL's (like Sensor Node has)
- [X] Standardise Bridge mode for repeaters
- [ ] Repeater/Bridge: Standardise the Transport Codes for zoning/filtering
- [X] Core + Repeater: enhanced zero-hop neighbour discovery
- [ ] Core: round-trip manual path support
- [ ] Companion + Apps: support for multiple sub-meshes (and 'off-grid' client repeat mode)
- [ ] Core + Apps: support for LZW message compression
- [ ] Core: dynamic CR (Coding Rate) for weak vs strong hops
- [ ] Core: new framework for hosting multiple virtual nodes on one physical device
- [ ] V2 protocol spec: discussion and consensus around V2 packet protocol, including path hashes, new encryption specs, etc

+## About MeshCore-Evo
+
+This is a friendly fork of the MeshCore project. 
+Its aim is to provide repeater firmwares with a few additional pending upstream PRs/improvements (i.e. PRs/improvements that are available to the MeshCore project but have not yet been merged in the upstream repo or PRs that might never be merged upstream for some reason).
+These changes are intended to help mitigating challenges in big or dense meshes, e.g.:
+
+- Dealing with flood advert traffic
+- improving `denyf *` handling
+
+This list might change any time.
+Refer to the [release notes](https://github.com/mattzzw/MeshCore-Evo/releases) for an up-to-date list of the applied changes.

 **A:** You can generate a new private key and specific the first byte of its public key here:  https://gessaman.com/mc-keygen/

+Having multiple repeaters with the same first byte ID does not negatively affect the mesh or its functionality. Flood and pathed packets will still reach their destinations. First byte ID collision makes traceroute and path analysis harder because these tools don't know exactly which of the two (or more) colliding repeaters is the one in the path.
+
+Best practice is when you set up a new repeater, choose a public key that is not in use. If it is not possible to find a unique first byte for your repeater's public key, choose one that is unique within about 10 miles (16 km) to minimize collision with nearby repeaters.

 **A:** The observer instruction is available here: https://analyzer.letsmesh.net/observer/onboard

+### 3.9. Q: What is multi-byte support?  What do 1-byte, 2-byte, 3-byte adverts and messages mean?
+
+**A:**
+The original MeshCore protocol design uses the first byte of a repeater's public key to denote the repeater in a path.  And with 1 byte for each repeater in the path, MeshCore packets can travel as many as 64 hops.  
+
+However, with 1 byte, there are only 254 unique IDs (exclude 00 and FF which are reserved).  Many meshes group have multiple repeaters with the same first byte in their public keys. Packets continue to pass through repeaters and the mesh is not harmed in anyway.  It does make it harder for tools to analyze paths with duplicated repeater IDs.  
+
+Firmware version 1.14 and newer introduces the ability for repeaters to advert with 1-, 2-, or 3-byte adverts.  Companions can also send out channel and direct messages with 1-, 2-, or 3-byte path.  Adverts and messages sent in 1-byte path is compatible with repeater firmware older or newer than 1.14.  They will travel up to 64 hops.  2-byte adverts and messages will travel up to 32 hops.  3-byte adverts and messages will travel up to 21 hops.
+
+### 3.9.1. Q: **What path hash sizes will my repeater forward?**
+
+Repeaters running firmware 1.14+ repeat packets sent with 1-, 2-, or 3-byte path hash. Repeaters on firmware older than 1.14 only repeat 1-byte path hash packets and silently drop 2- and 3-byte packets.
+
+### 3.9.2. Q: **What determines a packet's path hash size?**
+
+The original packet sender determines the path hash size. The most common original sender is a companion app. The other common original sender is a repeater, when it broadcasts its advert.
+
+### 3.9.3. Q: **How do I change my companion's path hash size?**
+
+As of firmware version 1.14 and MeshCore app version 1.41.0, in the MeshCore app, you can set your companion's message path hash size in `Settings (gear icon)`, `Experimental Settings`. 
+
+Until your regional mesh has the vast majority of the repeaters updated to 1.14+ firmware, it is recommended to keep your companion at the default 1-byte because pre-1.14 repeaters will silently drop messages with larger path hashes.
+
+### 3.9.4. Q: **What does the CLI command `path.hash.mode` do on a repeater?**
+
+This CLI command `path.hash.mode` *only* controls the path hash size used in a repeater's own advert broadcasts. It does **NOT** affect which packets the repeater forwards. A repeater with firmware 1.14+ always forward 1-, 2-, and 3-byte packets regardless of this setting.
+
+Usage: `set path.hash.mode {0|1|2}`:
+
+```
+┌────────────────┬───────────────────────┐
+│ path.hash.mode │ Advert path hash size │
+├────────────────┼───────────────────────┤
+│ 0              │ 1 byte (default)      │
+├────────────────┼───────────────────────┤
+│ 1              │ 2 bytes               │
+├────────────────┼───────────────────────┤
+│ 2              │ 3 bytes               │
+└────────────────┴───────────────────────┘  
+```
+
+It is safe to set your 1.14+ repeaters to mode 1 or 2.
+
+### 3.9.5. Q: **Why use 2- or 3-byte path hash for adverts?**
+
+A longer path hash helps tools like the LetsMesh.net Analyzer and MeshMapper disambiguate repeaters more reliably. With only 1 byte, the chance of different repeaters having the same first byte in their public key is high, making it harder to tell them apart in mesh network analysis. Since this only affects adverts, there's no downside.  2- and 3-byte adverts don't travel as far as 1-byte adverts, but it is not important for MeshCore nodes to hear a repeater's advert that are 21 or 32 hops away.
+
+### 3.9.6. Q: **When can we move away from 1-byte path hash for channel and direct messages?**
+
+You should move to send 2-byte or 3-byte channel and direct messages when the vast majority of the repeaters in your regional mesh are updated to firmware version 1.14 or newer.  Setting your repeater's `path.hash.mode` to 1 (for 2-byte path hash) or 2 (for 3-byte path hash) now helps the community gauge to how many repeaters have updated to 1.14+.  Please work with your MeshCore community together to decide when to switch to 2-byte path or 3-byte path for channel and direct messages.

 2. From the MeshCore app, login remotely to the repeater you want to update with admin privilege
 4. Go to the Command Line tab, type `start ota` and hit enter.
 5. you should see `OK` to confirm the repeater device is now in OTA mode

Malkavien	8056344b86	fix(waveshare-rp2040): add SX126X_RXEN=17 to restore RX sensitivity The Waveshare RP2040-LoRa board has an RF switch with two complementary control lines: - DIO2 (CTRL) -- driven automatically by the SX1262 chip: HIGH on TX, LOW on RX - GPIO17 (!CTRL) -- was not configured in MeshCore, so it floated and the switch never properly selected the LNA/RX path Without this pin driven, the RF switch never switches to RX mode, resulting in completely degraded reception. TX was unaffected because DIO2 alone is sufficient to activate the TX path. Adding SX126X_RXEN=17 lets RadioLib drive GPIO17 as the complement of DIO2, so the switch correctly routes the signal to the LNA on receive.
