The LoRa config options are: Region, Modem Preset, Max Hops, Transmit Power, Bandwidth, Spread Factor, Coding Rate, Frequency Offset, Transmit Enabled, Channel Number and Ignore Incoming Array. LoRa config uses an admin message sending a `Config.LoRa` protobuf.

|
## LoRa Config Values
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
You must set your device's `lora.region` setting. This will ensure that you are operating within the legal limits for your area.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
### Region
|
|
Sets the region for your node. Default is `unset`. As long as this is not set, the node screen will display a message and not transmit any packets.
|
|
|
|
<LoRaRegions />
|
|
|
|
### Modem Preset
|
|
Use a sensible default for the modem. Default is `unset` which equates to `LONG_FAST`. Also 'Use Presets' has to be defined, which is the default. If 'Use Presets' is not defined, the modem will be configured manually with Bandwidth, Spread Factor, and Coding Rate.
|
|
|
|
### Max Hops
|
|
Maximum number of hops. This can't be greater than 7. Default is 3 which should be fine for most applications. _**Really, 3 is fine.**_
|
|
|
|
### Transmit Power
|
|
|
|
If zero then, use default max legal continuous power (i.e. something that won't burn out the radio hardware)
|
|
|
|
In most cases you should use zero here. Units are in dBm.
|
|
|
|
### Bandwidth
|
|
|
|
Bandwidth in MHz
|
|
|
|
Certain bandwidth numbers are 'special' and will be converted by the device firmware to the appropriate floating point value: 31 -> 31.25MHz
|
|
|
|
### Spread Factor
|
|
|
|
A number from 7 to 12. Indicates the number of chirps per symbol as 1<<spread_factor.
|
|
|
|
### Coding Rate
|
|
|
|
The denominator of the coding rate. ie for 4/5, the value is 5. 4/8 the value is 8.
|
|
|
|
### Frequency Offset
|
|
|
|
This parameter is for advanced users with advanced test equipment, we do not recommend most users use it.
|
|
|
|
A frequency offset that is added to to the calculated band center frequency. Used to correct for crystal calibration errors.
|
|
|
|
### Transmit Enabled
|
|
|
|
Allows you to enable and disable transmit (TX) from the LoRa radio. Useful for hot-swapping antennas and other tests.
|
|
|
|
Defaults to true
|
|
|
|
### Channel Number
|
|
This is controlling the actual hardware frequency the radio is transmitting on. A channel number between 1 and NUM_CHANNELS (whatever the max is in the current region). If this is ZERO/UNSET then the rule is "use the old channel name hash based algorithm to derive the channel number".
|
|
|
|
### Ignore Incoming Array
|
|
|
|
For testing it is useful sometimes to force a node to never listen to particular other nodes (simulating radio out of range). All nodenums listed in the ignore_incoming array will have packets they send dropped on receive (by router.cpp)
