How to test ESP Mesh Network

Postby hetal.panara82 » Sun Jan 19, 2020 3:34 am

I have three ESP32 modules and I have made one of the module as fixed root node.
Other two nodes should connect to root for sending request.
I see that both the nodes are able to send http request and receive response.
However I see that both the nodes are directly connecting to root node,
but I want to test one node directly connecting to root and the other node should connect to root via other node.

How do I test this and does it print some log information to validate the scenario?

Request for any document or instruction to achieve this testing

Cheers!!

Hi hetal,

Yes in our algorithm we will tradeoff between the deep of layer and RSSI between nodes, for example you have a root A and a 2nd layer node B, another node C has both good RSSI with these two, then C will connect to A as a priority. But when C has much better RSSI with B than with A, then it will connect to B as a 3rd layer node.

If you only want to test A-B-C scenario, you can in the code set the max_connection as 1, that means for each node, it can only have one child node. You can have more info in this doc: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... onnectionE
