# This example illustrates creating a custom interface
# definition, that can be loaded and used by Reticulum at
# runtime. Any number of custom interfaces can be created
# and loaded. To use the interface place it in the folder
# ~/.reticulum/interfaces, and add an interface entry to
# your Reticulum configuration file similar to this:
# [[Example Custom Interface]]
# type = ExampleInterface
# enabled = no
# mode = gateway
# port = /dev/ttyUSB0
# speed = 115200
# databits = 8
# parity = none
# stopbits = 1
