Over the course of the last six months, so much has happened with the entire ecosystem surrounding Reticulum, and a significant part of those improvements have come from the expansion of the RNode sys...
Well, maybe not anything, but let's see if we can get close. RNode is now a multiplatform firmware! That means it is possible to make and deploy RNodes for use with Reticulum (or any other software us...
This article will outline the general process, and provide the information you need, for building your own RNode from a few basic modules. The RNode will be functionally identical to a commercially pu...
If you have a T-Beam or LoRa32 device handy, it is very easy to get it set up for all the things that the RNode firmware allows you to do. With it installed, you can use your newly created RNode as: A...
If you want to use an RNode with amateur radio applications, like APRS or a packet radio BBS, you will need to put the device into TNC Mode. In this mode, an RNode will behave exactly like a KISS-comp...
Today, I am very happy to announce the availability of OpenModem, the successor to the popular MicroModem project. Six years ago, I started work on the MicroModem project, and it has since matured int...
You asked for it, here it is! RNodes are now shipping with more I/O options. There's now a total of 17 multi-purpose pins available on the RNode board. Have a look at the following diagram for an over...
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'll put t...
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....
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...
