Have physical points of interest that can be captured and have them reflect which teams hold which points on their Team Awareness Kit (TAK) End user device (EUD).
Make the programming as easy to modify as possible, to enable new ideas to quickly be implemented.
At no point do you have to use your phone to interact with this. No QR-codes, no minigames within the game. Paper-map gang can have their fun.
Implementation with meshtastic to reduce cost of each unit.
Open source so you can take it and make something cooler if so desired.
Everything here is preconfigured or made for ASN-TAK, if you intend to use it elsewhere you might need to make adjustments. Contact us for MQTT login if you want to online your units on the ASN-TAK servers.
We can be found ond discord for any questions.
Responsible for bringing points and statuses of points from the meshtastic network to the TAK servers in a COT format. Differentiate between rally points, spawns and capture points. It's just a point like all others, but require a internet connection to work as the gateway.
It can be a standalone point using gateway as mode or be any other point mode as described below.
- TAKGateway displayed as neutral green:
Each point contains a raspberry pi and a meshtastic device. Capture mode units will also contain a set of push buttons to interact with GPIO to let players capture them.
Full configuration found here
- Points will be displayed using mil-std-2525 icons.
- Friendly points are displayed as cyan rectangles:
- Enemy points are displayed as red diamonds:
- Unknown points are displayed as yellow blobs:
Capturable points by holding down a button for a configurable amount of time. Upon capture the status will be broadcast on meshtastic to the gateway, updating the TAK servers.
Modifiers:
- Customizable capture time.
- Optional buzzer for audible capture.
- Optional: Revert to original color after x time (Default is permanent and requires a re-capture to revert to other colors)
Non-capturable points.
Modifiers:
