RAK 3172 Mesh network

Currently i’m working on RAK3172 and RUI3. I have some node sensors (TX) and five-six receiver (RX) to collect some sensor data on one point. I’m using LoRa P2P mode (not LoRaWAN mode) . Code will be on arduino ide.
that one is the master that sends main sensor data to the other receivers and then all receiver will coomunicate between each other
So i’m looking for how to establish the P2P communication with something like “mesh” network.
Is anyone implemented mesh network for the rak3172 I want to use it and i don’t have idea about that which one will work.

Very simple PoC RUI3 based Mesh Network RUI3-Mesh

Limited number of nodes
No data encryption

I downloaded the library as a .zip file, and when I tried to add it in the Arduino IDE, it shows the following error:
‘Error: 13 INTERNAL: Library install failed: moving extracted archive to destination directory: library not valid.’
This error also appears on other laptops of mine.

And one more question: The Arduino extension has been removed from VS Code. How can we access the RAK3172 board in VS Code?"

It is not a library, it is an application example.

Arduino extension has an open source replacement, the {Arduino Community Edition](Arduino Community Edition - Visual Studio Marketplace)

Hi,

I am wondering if it’s possible to connect an ESP32 to a RAK3172 using I2C for data interchange.

No
RAK3172 does not have a I2C Slave interface.

OH thanks
but right now I am facing a problem and problem is I just used the custom mode as mentioned by your colleague @carlrowan and I take the reference from your website, now whenever i am going to upload the new changed code to RAK3172 it just say
Device is not in boot mode
Detecting baudrate…
Detect baudrate fail, can not get the baudrate
and uploading fails!
why this?
what to do next?
if I connect BOOT0 pin to the VDD for the time of the uploading and then remove it will work?
