Add noise floor as second element of R field #1

Closed russss closed 8 years ago

russss commented 8 years ago

It would be useful for nodes (especially repeaters) to report the level of their noise floor, as used to configure the RFM69 RSSI threshold.

oddstr13 commented 8 years ago

Seeing as we have such a limited number of type characters (A-Z), and R & N being essentially the same, I think it unwise to use two different types for it.

I vote for changing the textual description of R to allow noise floor RSSI as well, possibly specifying it as a two-value field, R,.

russss commented 8 years ago

Right, I've moved this to the second value in the R field now.

russss commented 8 years ago

Word wrapping fixed, and in the absence of any other objections I will merge this now.
