Configuration details are available on the [Device Settings](/docs/settings) pages. Configuring the Range Test Module requires configuring the following modules:

### Usage Notes
For basic usage, you will need two devices both with a GPS. A device with a paired phone with GPS may work, I have not tried it.
The first thing to do is to turn on the module. The device will need to be restarted after applying the settings. With the module turned on, the other settings will be available:
range_test_module_enabled = 1
If you want to send a message every 60 seconds:
range_test_module_sender = 60
To save a log of the messages:
range_test_module_save = 1
Recommended settings for a sender at different radio settings:
Long Slow ... range_test_module_sender = 60
Long Alt ... range_test_module_sender = 30
Medium ... range_test_module_sender = 15
Short Fast ... range_test_module_sender = 15
### Python API Examples
Sender
`meshtastic --set range_test_module_enabled 1`
`meshtastic --set range_test_module_sender 60`
Receiver
`meshtastic --set range_test_module_enabled 1`
`meshtastic --set range_test_module_save 1`
### Other things to keep in mind
Be sure to turn off either the module configured as a sender or the device where the module setup as sender when not in use. This will use a lot of time on air and will spam your channel.
