To install this firmware on homebrew RNodes and other supported boards, please use the [RNode Config Utility](https://github.com/markqvist/rnodeconfigutil). It contains an auto-installer that allows you to install the RNode firmware on a variety of boards. For guides and tutorials on how to get started with making your own RNodes, visit [unsigned.io](https://unsigned.io). To install this firmware on homebrew RNodes and other supported boards, use `rnodeconf`, the *RNode Config Utility*.

The original RNode from [unsigned.io](https://unsigned.io) is controlled by a powerful ATmega1284p MCU, and is fully Arduino compatible. You can use this firmware, or it can be programmed any way you like, either from the Arduino IDE, or using any of the available tools for AVR development. This firmware can also be edited and compiled directly from the Arduino IDE.
For adding RNode to your Arduino environment, please see [this post](https://unsigned.io/board-support-in-arduino-ide/).
For configuring an RNode with this firmware, please have a look at the [RNode Config Utility](https://github.com/markqvist/rnodeconfigutil).

## USB and Serial Protocol
You can communicate with RNode either via the on-board USB connector, or using the serial pins on the board (labeled RX0 and TX0). RNode uses a standard FTDI USB chip, so it works out of the box without additional drivers in most operating systems.
All communications to and from the board uses [KISS framing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_(TNC)) with a custom command set. RNode also does not use HDLC ports in the command byte, and as such uses the full 8 bits of the command byte is available for the actual command. Please see table below for supported commands.
| Command | Byte | Description

| Data frame | 0x00 | A data packet to or from the device
| Frequency | 0x01 | Sets or queries the frequency
