Mesh IP Internal Networking example

This example demonstrates how to use mesh to create a IP capable sub-network. As a demonstration all nodes publish their IP and their internal mesh layer to MQTT broker and uses internal communication at the same time

Functionality

This example uses experimental NAT feature to translate addresses/ports from an internal subnet, that is created by the root node running a DHCP server. At the same time, the nodes communicate using low level mesh send/receive API to exchange data, such as routing table from root to all nodes and an event notification from one node to all other nodes in the mesh. As a demonstration, the same event is also published at the mqtt broker on a subscribed topic, so both internal mesh_recv() notification as well as mqtt data event are to be received.

Hardware Required

This example can be executed on any platform board, the only required interface is WiFi and connection to internet.

Configure the project

Open the project configuration menu (idf.py menuconfig) to configure the mesh network channel, router SSID, router password and mesh softAP settings.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to multiple boards forming a mesh network, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
