Adds a small allocation for groupdata packets for the Meshcore firmware for the StreamSensor product. It was previously a LoRaWAN platform, and we've moved to Meshcore.
Let me know when and how to demonstrate.
Without ROOM_PASSWORD the guest password defaults to empty, and a client
sending a blank password is granted read+write access (can post). Every
other board's room_server env sets ROOM_PASSWORD; the ThinkNode M6 and M1
were the only two shipping an open room. Default them to "hello" to match
the rest of the tree; operators can still change it at runtime with
'set guest.password'.
next_check and next_gps_update stored a future millis() value in a signed
long and compared with a naive '>'. After the ~24.8-day millis() sign flip
the deadline sits above the wrapped millis(), so the block never runs again
and GPS->RTC time-sync (and the location cache refresh) stall permanently
until reboot. Switch to unsigned deadlines with the wrap-safe signed-
difference compare '(long)(millis() - deadline) > 0', matching the idiom in
Dispatcher::millisHasNowPassed.
Also: reorder the MicroNMEALocationProvider ctor init-list to declaration
order (silences -Wreorder) and drop the always-true 'if (_claims > 0)' guard
in claim() (claim() always runs after _claims++, so it is >= 1).
The M6 is the only board whose simple_repeater env ships with MESH_DEBUG=1
and GPS_NMEA_DEBUG=1 enabled. MESH_DEBUG=1 adds a 5-second boot delay
(examples/simple_repeater/main.cpp) plus verbose per-packet serial prints on
the hot RX/TX path; GPS_NMEA_DEBUG=1 echoes every GPS UART character to the
serial console (MicroNMEALocationProvider.h). Every sibling repeater env
(M1, M3, t1000-e, RAK, Heltec) ships these off, and the M6 room_server env
in this same file already has them commented. Comment them out to match.
External watchdog support was added (but never merged) for MeshTower V1. The update's V2's #defines to follow the conventions set there and piggy back off the support already written for V1.
Previously load() returned true unconditionally on file-open success,
masking truncated or corrupt /regions2 files. Additionally, the first
field of each entry record (r->id) used the same success-chaining
pattern as subsequent fields, so a clean EOF at a record boundary set
success=false and would have been indistinguishable from real
corruption once the return value was fixed.
The r->id read is now split out: n==0 is a clean EOF (break, success
retains its prior value from the header read), n!=sizeof(r->id) is a
partial read or corruption (break, success=false). load() now returns
success instead of an unconditional true, so its return value reflects
the actual parse outcome.
Companion fix to #2372, which fixed the same return-true hardcoding
in save(). (#1891 originally reported this on load() but was closed
when #2372 landed — that PR only touched save(); this addresses the
load() side.)
The `recv_pkt_region` is set when processing a flood packet in `filterRecvFloodPacket`
but direct/non-flood packets would never pass through that function, so the pointer was
not cleared for them.
`sendFloodReply` would then later use it blindly, which meant that the response would
either inherit the region from the last flood packet, or refer to a non-initialised pointer
if no region floods had been received yet.
hasSeen() was simultaneously a predicate and a mutator — it inserted the
packet hash on every miss, making five call sites that only wanted to mark
a packet as sent call it with the return value discarded.
Split into:
- wasSeen() — pure predicate, no side effects
- markSeen() — explicit insert
All query sites now call markSeen() immediately after wasSeen() returns
false, preserving identical runtime behaviour. The five mark-only send
sites (sendFlood, sendDirect, sendZeroHop x2) now call markSeen directly.
Also fixes three bridge sites (BridgeBase, ESPNowBridge, RS232Bridge)
that had the same query+implicit-insert pattern.
Tests: add test/test_mesh_tables/ covering wasSeen purity, markSeen,
dup stats, and clear. Update SHA256 mock to produce deterministic output
(previously finalize() was a no-op). Add Packet.cpp to native build filter.
