# meshcore_multitcp

multiplexing a mescore tcp-connected companion to multiple clients as cli-chat, observer or bots

## what you can do with this software

- use one companion with multiple client-apps simultaneously

## what you will need

- companion radio with wifi-firmware to allow tcp-connections
- linux device (tested under debian trixie)
- python3
- python meshcore package (pip install meshcore)

## usage

python3 meshcore_multitcp.py -d Device-IP:PORT -s Server-IP:PORT [-q|-v]

-d sets IP & port of your companion radio
