Document DIY device range capabilities #181

Closed Talkless closed 2 years ago

Talkless commented 2 years ago

https://github.com/btcven/locha/blob/master/documentation/en/diy_turpial.md mentions ability to create your own LochaMesha device using LAUNCXL-CC1312R1, but does not document expected working range.

Meanwhile, LochaMesh FAQ (https://github.com/btcven/locha/blob/master/documentation/en/faqs.md#faq) states:

Turpial nodes are able to reach other Turpial devices in 1-2 km radius in urban areas

How would DIY LAUNCXL-CC1312R1-based device compare? If it's range is poor, is there a way to boost it while keeping it legal in EU (and other jurisdictions)?

Without that information it's hard to decide if there's a point even for trying to make one. I would probably need one intermediate node to connect to friend, but if DIY version will only working range is, for example, up to 1km in urban area, that would mean it would be infeasible...
