| | Bridged Mode | This mode allows you to hook up a physical device that emits TX frames onto uart lines. This could mean a full weatherbox, or just a microcontroller running a stubbed version of the normal firmware. | | | Bridged Mode | This mode allows you to hook up a physical device that emits TX frames onto uart lines.
