MeshTNC: Open-Source Tool for Converting LoRa Radios to KISS TNC Packet Radio Modems
By
todsacerdoti
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
MeshTNC is an open-source tool that converts consumer-grade LoRa (Long Range) radios into KISS TNC compatible packet radio modems. The tool enables piping LoRa data to and from radios, with features including firmware compilation, flashing capabilities, hardware compatibility with MeshCore-supported devices, and a serial command-line interface. The project provides precompiled firmware releases and supports various flashing methods, though a dedicated flashing tool hasn't been built yet.
