Misc UTF-8 Error

If you use the Python CLI and have seen the following error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 8: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 8: unexpected end of data in field: meshtastic.protobuf.User.long_name```

What is happening is someone managed to use a non-UTF8 char in their device name (both long and short) so the fix is to run:

meshtastic --remove-node '!0c3a9bb0' && meshtastic --set-ignored-node '!0c3a9bb0'

Linux Native

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

https://meshtastic.org/docs/software/python/cli/usage/#utilizing-ble-via-the-python-cli

To pair a node via BLE, you may need to do this manually from the linux terminal

bluetoothctl

Then in the bluetoothctl prompt:

power on
agent on
default-agent
scan on

Wait for your device to appear, note the MAC address

scan off
pair <MAC_ADDRESS>

Enter PIN if prompted

trust <MAC_ADDRESS>

Don’t connect yet, just pair and trust

exit
