TODO

Before beta

• Improve documentation on properties/fields
• change back to Bleak for BLE support - now that they fixed https://github.com/hbldh/bleak/issues/139#event-3499535304
• include more examples: textchat.py, replymessage.py all as one little demo

Eventual

• possibly use tk to make a multiwindow test console: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12351786/how-to-redirect-print-statements-to-tkinter-text-widget

MeshtasticShell todos

• Possibly use multiple windows: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12351786/how-to-redirect-print-statements-to-tkinter-text-widget
• make pingpong test

Bluetooth support

(Prealpha level feature - you probably don't want this one yet)

• This library supports connecting to Meshtastic devices over either USB (serial) or Bluetooth. Before connecting to the device you must pair your PC with it.
• We use the pip3 install "pygatt[GATTTOOL]"
• ./bin/run.sh --debug --ble --device 24:62:AB:DD:DF:3A

Done

• DONE use port enumeration to find ports https://pyserial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shortintro.html
• DONE make serial debug output optional (by providing a null stream)
• DONE make pubsub work
• DONE make docs decent
• DONE keep everything in dicts
• DONE have device send a special packet at boot so the serial client can detect if it rebooted
• DONE add fromId and toId to received messages dictionaries
• make command line options for displaying/changing config
• update nodedb as nodes change
• radioConfig - getter/setter syntax: https://www.python-course.eu/python3_properties.php
• let user change radio params via commandline options
• keep nodedb up-to-date based on received MeshPackets
• handle radio reboots and redownload db when that happens. Look for a special FromRadio.rebooted packet
