This was the very first step in this project that shows how machines talk to each other in a way humans could perceive :

please share circuit diagram of STM8S rf node and STM8L mobile Node

thx

  Are you sure? yes | no

The PCB design in eagle are already shared in this github repo : https://github.com/HomeSmartMesh/STM8_IoT_Boards/tree/master/IoT_Node_Mobile_v2

  Are you sure? yes | no

Here is the latest generation that I recommend more powerful than the STM8 https://github.com/nRFMesh/nRF52_Mesh

  Are you sure? yes | no

https://github.com/HomeSmartMesh/IoT_STM8  Is rdb_leds project using  mash network mode ? I am not able understand  how its work like how 1st receive code for 2nd node that client of 1 st node 

thx

Avtar

Hi, see the protocol in https://www.homesmartmesh.com/mesh/
byte2 is source id, the node that sent the packet, and byte3 is dest, the node that shall use the packet, other nodes that receive the same message but have different id shall ignore the packet.

Please note that the IoT_STM8 is no longer maintained, the currently supported platform is the the nRF52840.

Let me know if you have more questions.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hi

I trying to compile rgb_leds but in libs error rfi_header_size,rf_pid_0xDF_retransmit and rfi_payload_offset is undefined ,How to compile

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hi, I spotted some duplications of the same comment :)

Hi, yes, thank you for your finding, I fixed these compilation errors in the commit I made today just for maintenance

541ae723d424edbea4a077d8590023a95d9712cb

make sure you're using the repo https://github.com/HomeSmartMesh/IoT_STM8

But actually, the STM8 was the very first version of the mesh HW and I stopped working with it, that is why they are deprecated, and at the time, I did not had a good project share with submodules to prevent update of shared libs without breaking other projects.

Since then, I moved to the STM32 for bridges and continuously powered devices, I implemented also a driver for the WS2812B there. https://github.com/HomeSmartMesh/IoT_Frameworks/tree/master/stm32_rf_dongle/rf_bridge

And after the STM32, I switched to the nRF52 for which I found nice small USB dongles that I reflash with nRF firmware. I see you also followed my project #nRF52 Sensors Mesh Network , thank you for your interest, that is the project I am currently actively working on, so if you have questions or require support for that project I will be able to help much easier.
