# Meshstream
A Go application that monitors the Meshtastic MQTT server and logs packets to the terminal.
## Setup
1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies:
```
go mod tidy
```
## Running
```
go run main.go
```
## Decoding Meshtastic Packets
This project includes the Meshtastic protocol buffer definitions in the `proto/` directory and a decoder for parsing MQTT packets. The application will automatically decode JSON messages and extract key information from binary messages.
### Protocol Buffer Compilation
To regenerate the protocol buffer Go code:
```
make gen-proto
```
This will:
1. Install the required protoc-gen-go compiler plugin in a local bin/ directory
2. Generate Go code from the protocol buffer definitions
3. Place the generated code in the proto/generated/ directory
### Packet Decoding
The application currently decodes packets in these formats:
1. JSON messages (from topics containing '/json/')
- Extracts common fields like sender, receiver, and payload
- Pretty-prints the JSON content
2. Binary messages (from topics containing '/binary/')
- Shows basic topic information and a hex dump of the binary data
3. Text messages (from topics containing '/text/')
- Displays the plain text content
The decoder is implemented in the `decoder` package.
