There is a V0.1 release of Beeton Decoders!
While that does not sound like much, this is a minimum viable release showing the configuration method, the OpenThread, LightThread, Beeton stack that allows for reliable UDP packets sent from one joiner to another. Think of it as the way that you can control a remote control car. There is the remote, and the car, but there is something being sent through the antennas to them. This is the release it is working for Beeton!
Originally, I was using LightThread's reliable, but found that it was only good for 1 hop (joiner to leader or leader to joiner), not 2 (joiner to joiner). I have now fixed that, and via including the sender's IP address, the return trip is directly sent to the original sender. There is also retries, which work too! I have hooks for success and failed reliable send as well.
Next up, USB control of the leader, including:
- list of devices
- send to device
- receive from leader
While this list is short, it may expand later, but to me, this is the minimum needed to have a computer control the leader, and thus controlling the entire network!
