Reticulum / RNode Mesh Prototype
Multi-node Reticulum setup with RNode radio interfaces, LAN TCP transport and ESP32/LR1121 experiments for resilient local messaging.
OVERVIEW
What I built.
Multi-node Reticulum setup with RNode radio interfaces, LAN TCP transport and ESP32/LR1121 experiments for resilient local messaging.
Built a local Reticulum lab with multiple RNode/radio paths and a LAN TCP transport.
Worked with ESP32-S3/LR1121 hardware, RNode serial interfaces and Reticulum configuration.
Tested transport behavior, radio parameters and host/container device mapping.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
How the system is divided.
Reticulum daemon -> RNodeInterface -> serial-attached radio -> LoRa RF link.
A separate TCPServerInterface provides LAN transport so RF and wired paths can coexist.
Radio frequency, bandwidth, spreading factor and coding rate are explicit link parameters rather than hidden defaults.
NETWORK / DATA FLOW
What talks to what.
TECHNOLOGY STACK
The technical surface.
IMPLEMENTATION
How it works in practice.
- 01
Reticulum daemon -> RNodeInterface -> serial-attached radio -> LoRa RF link.
- 02
A separate TCPServerInterface provides LAN transport so RF and wired paths can coexist.
- 03
Radio frequency, bandwidth, spreading factor and coding rate are explicit link parameters rather than hidden defaults.
TESTING & VALIDATION
How I know it works.
Serial/RNode device mapping checks
Radio console verification of frequency/SF/BW/CR
Multi-node lab tests
LAN TCPServerInterface tested separately from RF transport
Container health and /dev/rnode mapping diagnostics
EXTERNAL SERVICES & DEPENDENCIES
What sits outside the core.
ENGINEERING EVIDENCE
Artifacts behind the claims.
BOUNDARIES / CONSTRAINTS
What the project does not pretend to solve.
—RF range requires the correct antenna and legal regional parameters
—A LAN transport working does not prove the LoRa path
—Radio parameters must match at both ends
RESULT / CURRENT STATE
What this produced.
A functional multi-node Reticulum test environment for experimenting with resilient local messaging and radio transport.
