CLI tool for embedded-nano-mesh protocol

This tool provides communication interface between linux CLI interface and embedded nano mesh network

Use cases

It allows to:

• Send message to exact device, or to all devices via multicast reserved address.
• Ping device, or send the message with PING flag which forces receiver to reply.
• Send message with transaction, which forces receiver to reply, about the operation being done.
• Receive the message from network

Installation

1. Get rust from official site. You can use this command: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
2. Clone this repo with: git clone https://github.com/boshtannik/embedded-nano-mesh-cli-tool.git
3. Enter into nano-mesh-cli-tool: cd embedded-nano-mesh-cli-tool
4. Build it by run: cargo build --release && cp target/release/nano_mesh_cli_tool ./nano_mesh_cli_tool
5. Now you can use it with ./nano_mesh_cli_tool --help

Usage:

Send message to device 3 from computer which pretends to be device 1. Send does not require a response from receiving device.

user@user-debian:~/w/rust/arduino/nano_mesh_cli_tool$ ./nano_mesh_cli_tool \
send_to_exact \
--from-address=1 \
--to-address=3 \
--listen-period=250 \
--content="beep" \
--timeout=1000 \
--filter-out-duplication \
--lifetime=1 \
--port=/dev/ttyUSB0 \
&& echo $?

Send message to all devices from computer which pretends to be device 1. Broadcast does not require a response from receiving device.

user@user-debian:~/w/rust/arduino/nano_mesh_cli_tool$ ./nano_mesh_cli_tool \
broadcast \
--from-address=1 \
--listen-period=250 \
--content="beep" \
--timeout=1000 \
--filter-out-duplication \
--lifetime=1 \
--port=/dev/ttyUSB0 \
&& echo $?

Send message to device 3 from computer which pretends to be device 1. Send does require a simple response from receiving device.

user@user-debian:~/w/rust/arduino/nano_mesh_cli_tool$ ./nano_mesh_cli_tool \
ping \
--from-address=1 \
--to-address=3 \
--listen-period=250 \
--content="beep" \
--timeout=1000 \
--lifetime=1 \
--port=/dev/ttyUSB0 \
&& echo $?

Send message to device 3 from computer which pretends to be device 1. Send does require a strict proven response from receiving device.

user@user-debian:~/w/rust/arduino/nano_mesh_cli_tool$ ./nano_mesh_cli_tool \
transaction \
--from-address=1 \
--to-address=3 \
--listen-period=250 \
--content="beep" \
--timeout=1000 \
--lifetime=1 \
--port=/dev/ttyUSB0 \
&& echo $?
