Set up a radio for the Idaho mesh. Everything runs in your browser and talks to the radio directly over USB — nothing is sent anywhere.
Plug the radio in with a USB cable, click connect, and pick it from the browser prompt.
Needs Chrome, Edge, or Brave on desktop (Web Serial). Firefox, Safari, and phones can't connect.

What this sets on the radio:
GPS needs a GPS-equipped node with sky view. Fixed is best for a permanent install. Off shares no location.
Need your exact coordinates? Use freq51's GPS map picker (opens in a new tab), then paste the latitude, longitude, and altitude into the fields above.

How precisely your location is shared on the primary channel — lower = fuzzier/more private, higher = more exact.
How often the radio reports its own health/environment sensors. Defaults come from the role + deployment above; adjust if you like. Seconds, 0 = off.
Device metrics = battery/voltage/uptime. Environment = temp/humidity/pressure (needs a sensor).
The names other people see for this node on the mesh.
Sets a fixed pairing code for the radio's Bluetooth. Leave blank to keep whatever it uses now.
Tick any extra channels to add on this radio (secondary slots). Channels are not different frequencies — every channel runs on the same radio frequency and LoRa settings above. A channel is just a named group with its own encryption key: a separate encrypted conversation you can see and message on, and you only see the channels you hold the key for.
Writes everything in one transaction, verifies each step, then reboots the radio once and re-checks after it comes back. Nothing is written until you click.
