RNode is an open source digital radio transceiver platform that is especially well suited for use with Reticulum. RNodes are typically used to provide LoRa connectivity to Reticulum instances, but the firmware is versatile and capable of much more.cite-ref-0-1-0[1]

RNodes can be built from readily available hardware, and can be made in many different configurations. They can be used as a general-purpose long-range data radio on many different bands, but will generally operate in the 433 MHz, 868 MHz, 915 MHZ and 2.4 GHz bands.cite-ref-0-1-1[1]

RNodes communicate with a host instance over USB or Bluetooth. With microReticulum_Firmware, they can also run as fully self-contained nodes.

A supported board must be flashed with an RNode firmware. There are several firmwares to choose from:

• RNode_Firmware – The official firmware by Mark Qvist (reference, only receives bug/security fixes).

• deuxyeux/RNode_Firmware – Community fork with support for additional DIY hardware (MeshAdventurer-S3, MeshPoE-S3, Aethernode, and others), wired Ethernet support, OTA updates, an on-screen settings menu and much more.

• RNode_Firmware_CE – Community maintained fork by Liberated Embedded Systems with support for more boards (less active).

• RNode Firmware — NeoPixel Edition – A fork of RNode Firmware CE with added NeoPixel status indicator support for ESP32-based boards.

• microReticulum_Firmware – RNode with microReticulum, enabling a fully self-contained node.

• RNode_Firmware_iOS – RNode firmware with BLE support for Apple devices (iOS and iPadOS).

• RNode Firmware — Seeed SenseCAP T1000-E - Turn the tiny Seeed SenseCAP T1000-E tracker card into a fully working RNode for Reticulum.

• See Awesome Reticulum › Custom Firmware for more.

Flashing can either be done with rnodeconf from a terminal or with a web-based RNode flasher such as Liam Cottle's or RNS Moscow's (requires a browser with support for Web Serial, currently only Firefox and Chromium based browsers have that).

See RNode LoRa Interface in the manual and LoRa parameters for choosing its settings.
