@projectmoon
Hello.
Interesting project.
I have install it on my both Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro running 24.04-2.x.
Would you prefer we discuss the tests here or on the repository? -

Would you prefer we discuss the tests here or on the repository?Good question. Since it's Christmas, not much will be happening from my end during the next two or so weeks. I think general discussion of the state of the app would work best here, and specific problems/ideas should be filed in the repository.

@projectmoon cool thanks! I'm on a Pixel 3a running the latest version of UT. I tried opening all three click packages in the OpenStore and got a "installation failed could not install package make sure it's a valid click package" error for each one. I'd be happy to test out that bug once I get the app running!
Odd. What version of Ubuntu Touch are you on?
-
@projectmoon I'm running 20.04.6
I also tried using UT Tweak Tool to install and got "failed with miscellaneous internal error". It's conceivable that there's some setting I could have changed when trying to set up MMS on this phone that's causing an issue? I don't have any data on this device that needs to be backed up so if there's a straightforward way to restore system defaults I would be OK with trying that...

@majorquibble are you on 20.04 or 24.04?
Edit: sorry didn't see your put the version in your message.
This is probably caused by Indra being built specifically for 24.04. Is it possible for you to update to 24.04? Otherwise, I will see if I can build for 20.04.

@projectmoon just updated and now the app is installed! thanks! will do some testing over the holidays

The application launches and works fine, but the Bluetooth connection fails.
The phones exchange verification codes, then Bluetooth switches to speaker mode and stops.

https://dpaste.com/4B5PV687QWell that is interesting. Is the radio already paired in system settings? And is the Meshtastic firmware already configured on the radio?
Edit: ok uhh after looking at the log, I'm not sure you are using the app correctly ;D
Meshtaastic requires a dedicated LoRa radio, which you connect to via USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi (not yet supported). The phones do not directly connect to one another.

Hello.
Oh, good news.
Do you have any documentation explaining how it works in detail?
I thought the BT connection could be established directly.
I'll also look into it on my end.
Oh, okay, you need a LoRa device to propagate the signal.
And the BT connection is used to connect to it...
I'm new to these technologies, but it's clearer now.
Do you have any hardware recommendations for these devices to get started (or a link to them)? -
@Vlad-Nirky you can find everything at https://meshtastic.org.
