Overview

This plugin allows you to test the range of your Meshtastic nodes. It requires at least two nodes, one to send a message every minute, and another to receive the messages. The receiving node then saves the messages along with the GPS coordinates at which they were received into a .csv file. This .csv file can then be integrated into, for example, Google Earth, allowing you to see where you have coverage.

:::note Once settings are changed, a reset is required for them to take effect. :::
