Connecting Your Radio
USB port (esmane)
The most reliable connection method on Desktop:
1. Γhenda oma Meshtastic raadio USB kaabliga.
2. Rakendus peaks jadapordi automaatselt tuvastama.
3. Kui seda ei tuvastata, vali menΓΌΓΌst Γhenda Γ΅ige jadapordiga.
TCP/IP
For network-connected radios:
1. Sisesta raadio IP-aadress ja port (vaikimisi: 4403).
2. KlΓ΅psa Γhenda.
Sinihammas (BLE)
Bluetooth Low Energy is supported on Desktop via the Kable library:
1. Ensure your system has a Bluetooth adapter.
2. Rakendus otsib automaatselt lΓ€hedalasuvaid Meshtastic raadioid.
3. Select your device from the Connect screen.
