Specifications
Hardware
The WisMesh Pod comes fully assembled with an internal battery. However, it is recommended to fully recharge the battery before switching the device on. It is powered by its internal 1000 mAh battery and features a multi-function button, three LEDs and a USB Type-C connector for recharging.
The enclosure cannot be opened without damaging the device.
Hardware Interface
LED Indicators
The WisMesh Pod uses three LED indicators (red, green, and blue) to display charging, device status, and message notifications.
| LED | Description |
|---|---|
| 🔴 RED LED | The charging indicator. It lights up when the USB Type-C connector is plugged in. The device can be charged even when powered off. |
| 🟢 GREEN LED | Shows different states depending on the device's mode. Solid: Device powered on Breathing: BLE DFU mode Blinking: MCU activity |
| 🔵 BLUE LED | The message indicator. It lights up when a message is received. |
When the battery is fully charged, the red LED turns off. The green LED remains solid only if the device is powered on.
Button
The WisMesh Pod features a multifunction button for power control, reset, and DFU mode for firmware updates.
| Action | Function |
|---|---|
| Long press (5 seconds) | Powers the device on or off. The green LED stays solid when the device is powered on. |
| Single press | Resets the device. |
| Double press | Enters DFU mode for firmware updates via USB Type-C. |
The multifunction button is dedicated to power on/off, device reset, and DFU mode. It cannot be used for other user-defined functions.
