PainlessMeshLib

This is a wrapper of painlessmeshboost.
This wrapper is useful if you want to use painlessMeshBoost as a library in your own project.

to compile, cmake . and make, then use libpainlessMeshBoost.a

Usage

To use the PainlessMeshLib library, you first need to include the header in your project with:

#include <painlessMesh.h>

The library provides a class PainlessMeshLib with an easy-to-use API. Here are the basic steps:

1. Initialize PainlessMeshLib: This can be done using the PainlessMeshLib constructor. Provide the port number and the path to the OTA directory where firmware files are located.

PainlessMeshLib server(5555, "/path/to/firmware/directory");

2. Start the server: You can start the server by calling the start_server method. It will begin the mesh network server on the port defined during initialization. It also sets up the OTA firmware distribution system, and starts handling incoming mesh network connections.

server.start_server();

3. Send messages: To send messages to a specific node, use the send_message method. This method takes the target node ID and the message as parameters.

server.send_message(targetNodeId, "Hello, Mesh Network!");

4. Add callbacks: PainlessMeshLib allows you to register callbacks for when messages are received or new connections are made. Use add_message_callback and add_connection_callback methods to do so.

server.add_message_callback([](uint32_t nodeId, const std::string& msg) {
  // handle received message
});

server.add_connection_callback([](uint32_t nodeId) {
  // handle new connection
});

5. Stop the server: You can stop the server at any time by calling the stop_server method.

server.stop_server();

Remember that all interaction with PainlessMeshLib should be done on the same thread, as it's not thread-safe. Keep all the interaction in the main thread to avoid any concurrency issues.
