RNode Configuration UtilityPlease beware!This rnodeconf package is outdated! The rnodeconf utility has been moved into the rns package, and the rnodeconf program in this package will no longer be maintained.Please uninstall the rnodeconf package, and use rnodeconf from the rns package instead:pip uninstall rnodeconf rns
pip install rns --upgradeThe updated rnodeconf source code can now be found directly in theReticulum RepositoryIntroductionConfigure, update, flash, backup and install yourRNode(homebrew or official) with this handy utility.RNode is a flexible LoRa-based transceiver, and this tool allows you to install and configure RNodes built on a variety of different platforms and boards. With this tool you can configure and update existing RNodes, or make your own RNodes from supported boards and modules.Supported DevicesCurrently the RNode Configuration Utility supports:The original RNode fromunsigned.ioHomebrew RNodes based on ATmega1284p boardsHomebrew RNodes based on ATmega2560 boardsHomebrew RNodes based on Adafruit Feather ESP32 boardsHomebrew RNodes based on generic ESP32 boardsLilyGO T-Beam v1.1 devicesLilyGO LoRa32 v2.0 devicesLilyGO LoRa32 v2.1 devicesHeltec LoRa32 v2 devicesYou can use the included autoinstaller to automatically install and provision the RNode firmware on any supported board.InstallationThe easiest way to install the configuration utility is with pip:# If you don't already have pip installedsudoaptinstallpython3-pip# Install rnodeconf included in the rns package with pippip3installrns# Run rnodeconfrnodeconf--helpUsage OverviewRNode can operate in two modes, host-controlled (default) and TNC mode:When RNode is in host-controlled mode, it will stay in standby when powered on, until the host specifies frequency, bandwidth, transmit power and other required parameters. This mode can be enabled by using the -N option of this utility.When RNode is in TNC mode, it will configure itself on powerup and enable the radio immediately. This mode can be enabled by using the -T option of this utility (the utility will guide you through the settings if you don't specify them directly).For a complete description of RNodes capabilities, documentation and more, please refer to theRNode repository.usage: rnodeconf [-h] [-i] [-a] [-u] [--nocheck] [-N] [-T] [--freq Hz] [--bw Hz] [--txp dBm] [--sf factor] [--cr rate] [-b] [-d] [--eepromwipe] [--version]
