meshtastic-flasher's Introduction

Adam McQuilkin — @ajmcquilkin

👋 About Me

Hello! My name is Adam and I'm an open-source developer. I'm currently working with the @meshtastic project to build reliable, long-range, and affordable mesh networks. I studied CS and Engineering at Dartmouth College, and I'm currently working as a SWE at Microsoft. I'm very experienced in Rust, TypeScript, and React, and I have background in embedded systems and C/C++.

✨ What I'm Working On

I joined the Meshtastic project in 2022 with the goal of simplifying the process of deploying and managing large-scale ad-hoc mesh networks. Meshtastic maintains clients that allow for management of singular mesh radios, but not for managing large-scale networks.

As part of this goal, I am building the Meshtastic Network Management Client, a desktop application that allows users to create, configure, and manage large-scale Meshtastic networks. Additionally, I'm building the Meshtastic Network Simulator, a desktop application that allows users to simulate large-scale Meshtastic networks. This simulator is used both to test the network management client and to test the Meshtastic firmware.

I also maintain the official Meshtastic Rust library, which allows developers to easily interface with Meshtastic radios in a type-safe way from Rust. This library is used by both the network management client and the network simulator.

Add local file flashing option

Add an option to flash a locally hosted file to a device, stored on a user's file system.

make a Standalone off-Line capable version?

hello.

if i may bring my thought into this for a moment.
i was especially interested in this program in order to flash board in an off-line manner.
practical if there was internet problem or a power outtage. maybe even update a node that is old or running another firmware totally (softRF, PAX counter...) in the field. having a simple laptop and this program at the ready could be very valuable in some situation.

edit: it seems the program currently can only work while having access to the internet.

would it be possible to add the functionality of downloading the most recent stable version for each board?
in order to have a backup and get ready for the road/portable operation or something.

Thank you for your time.
