A modem interface
- A standard KISS TNC style serial connection
- A way for a computer to send and receive LoRa frames
- A foundation for gateways, services, testing and custom software
- Extended by MeshCore hardware commands

KISS MODEM.
PUT THE COMPUTER IN CONTROL.
KISS mode turns compatible radio hardware into a serial connected LoRa interface. Host software handles the higher level application or service.
The normal phone experience
- Not the easiest starting point for most users
- Not a replacement for companion firmware and an app
- Not a finished gateway by itself
- Not permission to ignore current protocol documentation
What you can build
Raspberry Pi gateway
Connect a supported radio to a Pi and let a host service bridge, log or process traffic.
Diagnostics
Capture controlled data for testing, monitoring and development without building the radio stack into every application.
Custom services
Create software that interacts with the mesh while the radio handles the physical LoRa link.
