The yard map

The Yard section shows every board PropMesh can hear, in two layouts. Switch between them with Topology | Map.

Topology: is my mesh healthy?

Boards are arranged by how many hops they are from the bridge, and every radio link is labeled with its signal strength:

Line	Signal
green	strong (−60 dBm or better)
gray	ok
amber, dashed	weak (−75 dBm or worse)
red	lost

The badge at the top sums it up: HEALTHY, WEAK LINK or DEGRADED. Click a board for its details: what it hears, its uptime, memory, battery and firmware.

Map: where is everything?

The map is a drawing of your yard with each board placed where it really is. A weak link makes more sense once you can see that it crosses the house.

Draw the yard with the tools on the left:

Tool	For
Area	the house, garage, flower beds, lawn. Click each corner, then click the first corner again to close the shape.
Walkway	paths and driveways. Click along it and double-click to finish.
Border	the property line, a fence
Prop	clip art (tombstones, skeletons, spiders, pumpkins, candles) to mark where things stand
Select	move things. Drag an edge to push it out. Double-click an edge to add a corner, or double-click a corner to remove it.
Erase	click something to remove it

Pick a shape with Select to label it and change its color. Scroll to zoom, drag empty ground to pan, and press ⛶ to fit everything in view.

Place your boards by dragging them from the Not on the map yet bar onto the map. Click a placed board and pick a picture under DRAWN AS, and the board shows on the map as a skeleton, a ghost, a cauldron, a candle, and so on.

Saved on the bridge

The map is stored on the board the console is connected to, so every computer or phone that connects sees the same drawing.
