How do I configure HorizonLink Mesh on the Bots and Commander
HorizonLink is our solution for Offgrid connections up to 10nm from the Commander.
A physical Mesh receiver is required on the Commander side and on each Bot that you want to control. The device has a solar panel built-in so you never need to charge it.
NOTE 1: If you are part of multiple organizations, HorizonLink only works on your primary org.
NOTE 2: On the Commander side, you must be running Android with the MarkSetBot Toolkit 3.0.77+. The Bots must be running Bot Phone 1.672+.
The first step is to pair your phone or tablet with the HorizonLink antenna over Bluetooth. You will see a device name like "HRZN_xxxx". The "xxxx" matches up to the 4 digit serial label. Use the Android Bluetooth menu to pair the device and use 135700 as the pin. If you have an older Samsung device, you might not be able to see the device in your Bluetooth list. You can download nrfConnect from the Play Store to work around that and use the Bond menu from within nrfConnect.
The second step is to pair a Mesh unit to each Bot Phone. Make sure to update your Bot Phone to 1.672+ first. You can then search via the Bot Phone GUI or have support trigger a search for you remotely.
After that, you can force a Navigate, Anchor, or Stop command by holding down those buttons in the bottom menu of Commander. If internet goes down on a Bot, all commands will route through the Mesh automatically.
