# Infrastructure Node
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the software for bridge nodes that connect the Meshtastic mesh to the internet.
|
|
|
|
## Components
|
|
|
|
### `bridge-daemon/`
|
|
The **KosmoConnect Bridge Daemon** is a Python service that runs on a Raspberry Pi (or any Linux host) connected to a Meshtastic device via USB.
|
|
|
|
**What it does:**
|
|
- Receives mesh packets and publishes them to the cloud MQTT broker
|
|
- Detects environmental data (JSON enviro packets) and routes them to `kosmo/ingest/enviro`
|
|
- Subscribes to `kosmo/mesh/outbound/#` and injects web messages back into the mesh
|
|
- Runs as a `systemd` service with auto-restart
|
|
|
|
See [`bridge-daemon/README.md`](./bridge-daemon/README.md) for setup and RPi installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
### `firmware/`
|
|
Placeholder for any custom firmware required specifically for the bridge radio (usually not needed; standard Meshtastic firmware works).
|
|
|
|
## Recommended Bridge Hardware
|
|
|
|
| Device | Notes |
|
|
|--------|-------|
|
|
| **LILYGO T-Beam 868/915MHz** | Great for Pi USB bridge; ESP32 + GPS + LoRa |
|
|
| **RAK4631** | Low power, nRF52840 based |
|
|
| **LILYGO T-Deck** | Can work if put into USB-serial mode; better used as a handheld mesh client |
|
|
|
|
## Quick Test
|
|
|
|
If you have a T-Beam or T-Deck connected to your computer:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd bridge-daemon
|
|
python3 -m venv venv
|
|
source venv/bin/activate
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
export MESHTASTIC_DEVICE=/dev/ttyUSB0 # adjust for your OS
|
|
export MQTT_HOST=localhost
|
|
python3 -m src.main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Send a text from any mesh node and watch it appear on `kosmo/mesh/inbound` in your MQTT broker.
