What is SMesh?

SMesh is a sensor mesh network ("smesh") that performs long duration environmental sensing for sustainability research at Stanford.

A smesh node (or "snode") consists of a sensor payload plus a Meshtastic board that can relay readings using long range LoRa radio.

Usage

snode is a Python package that contains all dependencies and code to read from snodes.

Files are organized into three directories:

  1. One-off scripts go into snode/scripts
  2. Reusable code that scripts can import go into snode/snode
  3. Tests for reusable code go into snode/tests

To run any Python code:

  1. Install Poetry by following https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-pipx
  2. Enter the package you're using, e.g., cd snode
  3. Install the Python dependencies the code needs, i.e., poetry install
  4. Run a Python script, i.e., poetry run python PATH/TO/SCRIPT.PY

Customizing Meshtastic firmware

Snodes run a stable version of Meshtastic firmware with small modifications.

To access this firmware:

  1. Clone the firmware fork, i.e. git clone https://github.com/josdo/meshtastic-firmware.git
  2. Follow https://meshtastic.org/docs/development/firmware/build/ to set up PlatformIO, a tool to build firmware from source. Note: at step 3, pick heltec-v3 from the list of options given.

Questions

How big is the SmokeSensorConnector7 PCB?

It measures 32 × 15.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1 mm thick.

What parts does the SmokeSensorConnector7 use?

5 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the SmokeSensorConnector7 KiCad files?

From the josdo/smesh repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is boards/smokeSensorConnector7.kicad_pcb and its schematic boards/smokeSensorConnector7.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SmokeSensorConnector7 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask josdo before reusing the design.
