CanMesh

Connect to CanMesh

Three ways in, all landing on the same network.

LoRa (915 MHz)

If you have a SenseCAP Solar Node P1 flashed with Hopspot firmware, it connects to the mesh automatically at 915 MHz. Other LoRa nodes within range will discover each other through Reticulum announces.

Every radio must match the 915 MHz profile exactly. No other configuration needed — the Hopspot firmware auto-configures the radio.

TCP (over the internet)

A public CanMesh backbone is planned for canmesh.ca:4242. Until it's live, you can connect to the ScotMesh backbone for testing:

[[ScotMesh Backbone]]
  type = TCPClientInterface
  enabled = yes
  target_host = rns.scotmesh.net
  target_port = 4242

Add this to the [interfaces] section of ~/.reticulum/config, then restart Reticulum.

I2P (behind CGNAT or firewall)

If you're behind CGNAT or a firewall you don't control, use I2P instead:

[[ScotMesh I2P]]
  type = I2PInterface
  enabled = yes
  peers = a3pswrtvpuro62ijhb7lwdt2n6aqgajglof27ynbonynmolzlz7q.b32.i2p

Needs i2pd with SAMv3 (apt install i2pd). Give it a few minutes — I2P builds tunnels before the interface comes up.

Apps

Once connected, use any Reticulum client:

After connecting

Check your interface is up:

rnstatus

See discovered paths:

rnpath --table

Or with prnsd:

~/.local/bin/prnsd status
~/.local/bin/prnsd path --table
