@ -65,6 +65,8 @@ The main features the RS41ng firmware are:
* Support for transmitting multiple modes consecutively with custom, rotating comment messages (see `config.c`)
* Support for GPS-based scheduling is available for transmission modes that require specific timing for transmissions
* Support for custom sensors via the external I²C bus
* GPS NMEA data output via the external serial port pin 4 (see below). This disables use of I²C devices as the serial port pins are shared with the I²C bus pins.
* This allows using the RS41 sonde GPS data in external tracker hardware, such as Raspberry Pi or other microcontrollers.
* Enhanced support for the internal Si4032 radio transmitter via PWM-based tone generation (and ultimately DMA-based symbol timing, if possible)
* Extensibility to allow easy addition of new transmission modes and new sensors
