Closing this out as it seems from discussion last year that as proposed it's not a big improvement on the status quo.

Hi @Atiseug, I agree this would be potentially useful to have! I've moved this over to micropython-lib as this is probably where it would need to be implemented (there are...

Hi @davefes, Thanks for noticing this, it's a bug. It *should* be based on this section of the SX1276 datasheet:  Meaning the implementation should be...

Thanks @davefes! Will leave this issue open until there's a fix. > Another odd behaviour noted: the first RSSI after a re-boot is 5dB better then subsequent RSSI readings. Interesting....

Nice fix, @jonfoster . I wasn't familiar with this issue, but these articles gave me a pretty good background for anyone else who is curious: https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/time.html

@ned-pcs If you rebase on master then the build should be fixed now.

Hi @brianreinhold, You're right this is a somewhat confusing pattern, especially compared to CPython code. In fact, you can't use these from your application at all. There's a MicroPython [optimisation](https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/develop/optimizations.html#variables)...

It is indeed (mostly) added to flash (ROM) storage, but the size in flash can still add up hence the additional optimisation on top of the first one which makes...

@brianreinhold That's correct, the only options are: 1. Copy the same `_NAME = const(n)` constants into each source file. This has the smallest resource footprint (the constants effectively don't exist...
