Tap the fitted V4 button to step forward. Hold it for the menu; tap to move and hold to select.
Local-radio mode exposes only board, power, radio, traffic, and fault facts the firmware owns.
The catalog V4 has one fitted button. The two-button face is a simulated enclosure using the same controller grammar.
Enable JavaScript to operate the controls. The displayed STATUS page remains an accurate static example.
build it
Board-level development specimen. The published firmware ledger below records the exact V4 installation and recovery evidence; enclosure, power, antenna, and assembled-product work remain open.
What the complete recipe still needs
Power assembly
Select and test the battery, protection, charging path, connector, runtime, and replacement instructions.
Antenna assembly
Name the exact antenna and connector path, then record placement, strain relief, and RF acceptance.
Sale readiness
Complete the authorization record, labeling, instructions, supplier traceability, product safety work, and assembled-product review before enabling purchase.
verify it
A proof says exactly what happened. It does not silently stand in for range, routing, loss, battery runtime, or product qualification.
proven
On-device status face
The fitted OLED, short press, long press, menu, display-off path, and consumed wake press passed physical acceptance.
proven
Bidirectional Reticulum carriage
The image exchanged a byte-exact 4 KiB Reticulum Resource in both directions against the T114 while the UI remained active.
proven
Owner installation
The published V4 ledger retains installer and recovery receipts for the public cabled route. Firmware proof does not complete the enclosure, power, antenna, or sale recipe.
network support
This ledger records demonstrated network behavior. It is independent of whether a one-click installation recipe or assembled product is ready.
demonstrated
Reticulum
Real RNS 1.4.0 configures and powers the V4 RNode channel, while reference Reticulum and the Rust stack validate one another over real RF.
demonstrated
Meshtastic
Sennet text transmitted through V4 direct-PHY firmware was accepted, decrypted, and rebroadcast by a stock Meshtastic node.
demonstrated
MeshCore
Tucket exchanged authenticated adverts, encrypted text, acknowledgements, and reciprocal routes with official MeshCore companion firmware.
install firmware
Firmware belongs to the owner. Installation recipes are tracked separately from network support, and one SX1262 radio runs one selected personality at a time.

authorization record open Protocol support and software licensing do not replace equipment authorization. The authorization record must be reviewed before sale.
buy assembled hardware
The purchase control comes last, after the recipe, evidence, network support, installation paths, and radio authorization.
not offered for sale
This development specimen has no purchase link. Sale waits for a complete recipe, assembled-product testing, and a reviewed authorization record.
