LoRa bitrate calculator and understanding LoRa parameters
It can be pretty useful to know how LoRa parameters influence data rate and range, for example when configuring your RNode. In this post I’ll go over the basic concepts needed to understand the ...
LoRa packet sniffing with RNode
In the last post, we looked at creating a 15.75 kilometre SSH link with two RNodes acting as wireless network cards. Today, we’re going to be a bit more passive. Using just a single RNode, we...
IP over LoRa: Using RNode as a wireless NIC
IP over LoRa? Absolutely! While LoRa was not as such designed as an underlying physical layer for IP-based communications, it’s still possible to do exactly that....
15 kilometre LoRa SSH link with RNode
In the last post, I looked at running APRS over LoRa using two RNodes. APRS is a relatively simple application, where data is mostly flowing from mobile stations, beaconing their position to fixed sta...
APRS over LoRa with RNode
One of the very convenient features of RNode is the ability to use it as a fully integrated TNC and data radio, in one compact device. In it’s KISS-compatible TNC mode, RNode can be used with mo...
Using KISS settings in Xastir
The MicroAPRS firmware for MicroModem supports changing AX.25 settings like preamble length, TX tail and others via the KISS protocol, so the host program can easily set these parameters. Unfortunatel...
Long Time, No See
I know a lot of you have been waiting a long time for some updates on when more modems will be available, and I’m sorry I’ve been a bit absent from here lately. As you might now, MicroMode...
Restocked and ready to ship
As promised, MicroModems are now back in ample supply and ready to ship! Everyone who preordered should have received their modems by now. If you haven’t, it’s almost at your doorstep...
