Set up as a Repeater
Next: press RESET on the board. Then set it up as a Repeater here, or keep it as an RNode for one app.
A Repeater forwards mesh traffic on its own. Choose its radio and its Owner here, then manage it from Ratspeak by messaging it.
- Plug the node in over USB. Close other apps that use its port, such as Ratspeak or a serial monitor.
- If you just installed, press RESET on the board first.
- Finish setup restarts the node as a Repeater. It may restart once more first to join Wi-Fi.
Finish setup saves these settings without repeating yet. Start repeating here, later from Ratspeak with /start, or from the board's menu.
