meshtasticator's Issues

Ability to set SNR (related to pathloss)

Hello,

This is more like a question

I haven't found a documented way to set link SNR, meaning how well a node is able to hear another node.

This would help so much especially if I use data from neighbor info, to simulate the network.

Are significant changes needed on my side in order to set SNR somehow?

No documentation for "tk" python failure

When installing this repo on a new server, the sim failed due to tk not being installed on the machine. I couldn't find any docs on this, so it might be worth placing a note about needing this at the system level to run the application, if not giving some demo commands. For example, sudo pacman -S tk fixes the problem on Arch Linux.

Specify that Native Linux Requires GNOME Desktop Environment

Currently, the "Interactive Simulator" documentation page does not specify the application's depenency on the GNOME desktop environment. There is a dependency within the codebase on gnome-terminal, which is not supported on all Linux desktop environments. While xterm would work for all X11 DEs, this would also not support wayland DEs. I'm not sure of the best way to handle this since to my knowledge there isn't a generic command to start a terminal that is widely supported, although at least this is worth pointing out in the "Interactive Simulator" docs as a note.

numpy hex API version constraints

here's a weird one, numpy verions "15" versus "16" in an exception.
