Using batman-adv to connect several raspberrypi to a mesh network and creating a vernemq cluster
This repo is currently in development and things get added time after time.
Feel free to comment.
Last Update:
- This repo is not updated anymore. It is possible that parts of the batman installation have to be changed because of newer raspbian images and changed drivers.
- The latest configuration (mqtt scripts and Dash visualizations) for multiple raspberry pis can be found in the folder
finished_configuration. This includes instructions for starting different sensor scripts which were used for demonstration purposes. - Perhaps you find some useful information here. Just pick the good bits. Good luck! :)

Raspberry Pi 3 B+
- batman mesh node (adhoc network wlan0)
- bridge with lan cable eth0 for combining mesh and different network
- internet gateway with dhcp server for sharing eth0 internet with mesh nodes
- mqtt broker cluster node with vernemq
- grafana/prometheus/influxdb for monitoring mqtt cluster and network (not written yet)
- Optional: USB Wifi Dongle for wifi client+hotspot configuration and internet sharing
