# meshing-around
Random Mesh Scripts for BBS activities for use with Meshtastic nodes
## pong-bot.sh
![alt text](img/pong-bot.jpg "Example Use")
Little bot which will trap keywords like ping and respond on a DM with pong. The script will also monitor the group channels for keywords to trap on. you can also `Ping @Data to Echo` as a example for further processing.
other features
- MOTD with ability to set remotely
- `motd` or `motd $New Message Of the day`
- `lheard` returns the last 5 heard nodes
## mesh-bot.sh
alternate bot, adds internet and other telemetry data which goes beyond just ping
- Various solar details
- `sun` and `moon` return info on rise and set local time
- uses the locaton of the node if known
- `solar` gives an idea of the x-ray flux
- `hfcond` returns a table of HF solar conditions
- `whereami` returns the address of location of sender if known
- `tide` returns the local tides (NOAA data source)
### Configurations
Currently config modifications is edit to code. Be sure to uncomment the appropriate interface for your method (serial/BLE/TCP). Only one at a time is supported to a single node at a time.
```
# Uncomment the interface you want to use depending on your device connection
interface = meshtastic.serial_interface.SerialInterface() #serial interface
#interface=meshtastic.tcp_interface.TCPInterface(hostname="192.168.0.1") # IP of your device
#interface=meshtastic.ble_interface.BLEInterface("AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF") # BLE interface
```
It is recomended to leave this setting as default `True` to keep the channel clear in larger mesh.
```
RESPOND_BY_DM_ONLY = True # Set to True to respond messages via DM only (keeps the channel clean)
```
Solar Data needs the LAT LONG for your area on the [solarconditions.py](solarconditions.py) used for when node has no location in the db
```
LATITUDE = 48.50
LONGITUDE = -123.0
```
