The RAK13302 1W module uses a Skyworks SKY66122-11 front-end module with
three digital control pins (CSD, CTX, CPS) that must be actively driven
by the host MCU. The previous code only managed CTX (GPIO 31) — toggling
it for TX/RX — but never initialized CSD (GPIO 24) or CPS (GPIO 21),
leaving them floating with no pull-up/pull-down resistors on the PCB.
With floating CSD and CPS, the SKY66122 was in an undefined operating
mode:
- The 30 dB TX PA may not have been reliably engaging
- The 16 dB RX LNA was never reliably active, degrading receive
sensitivity
The GC1109 FEM needs its VFEM_Ctrl pin held HIGH during deep sleep
to keep the LNA active, enabling proper RX sensitivity for
wake-on-packet. Without this, the LNA is unpowered during sleep
and RX wake sensitivity is degraded by ~17dB.
Release RTC holds in begin() after configuring GPIO registers
(not before) to ensure glitch-free pin transitions on wake.
Trade-off: ~6.5mA additional sleep current for significantly
improved wake-on-packet range.
The table of contents of `docs/faq.md` had at the end a bogous entry
```markdown
- [| | High Output | 22 dBm | 28 dBm | |](#--high-output--22-dbm--28-dbm--)
```
This patch removes that bogous entry.
Added to section 5.14 "Are there are projects built around MeshCore?":
* awesome-meshcore
* meshcore-open
* MeshCore-Cardputer-ADV
* LunarCore
* MC-Term
* Meck
* Meshcore for Wio Tracker L1 Pro
* MeshCore map auto uploader
* companion: new field in CMD_SET_OTHER_PARAMS, path_hash_mode
* companion: CMD_SEND_SELF_ADVERT, cmd_frame[1] now holds the path hash size (0 = zero hop, 1..3 = flood path hash size)
PacketQueue::countBefore() and PacketQueue::get() use unsigned
comparison (_schedule_table[j] > now) to check if a packet is
scheduled for the future. This breaks when millis() wraps around
after ~49.7 days: packets scheduled just before the wrap appear
to be in the far future and get stuck in the queue.
Use signed subtraction instead, matching the approach already used
by Dispatcher::millisHasNowPassed(). This correctly handles the
wraparound for time differences up to ~24.8 days in either
direction, well beyond the maximum queue delay of 32 seconds.
Tested in v1.13.
These commands don't work anymore:
```
get password
-> ??: password
set password secret
-> unknown config: password secret
```
This does work:
```
password secret
-> password now: secret
```
