+# RN2903
+## A Rusty interface for the RN2903 serial protocol
+
+The RN2903 is a LoRa and FSK transciever for the 915MHz ISM band, commonly used in USB
+devices like the LoStik.
+
+This crate provides a safe, idiomatic interface using cross-platform native serial
+functionality via `serialport`. This supports, for instance, a LoStik connected to a USB
+TTY or virtual COM port, or a RN2903 connected via a TTL serial interface.
+
+## Example
+
+For instance, here is a simple program which blinks the LoStik's LED using the RN2903's
+GPIO functionality.
+
+```rust
+use rn2903::Rn2903;
+use std::time::Duration;
+use std::thread;
+
+fn main() {
+    let mut txvr = Rn2903::new_at("/dev/ttyUSB0")
+        .expect("Could not open device. Error");
+    loop {
+        txvr.transact(b"radio set pindig GPIO10 0").unwrap();
+        thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(1000));
+        txvr.transact(b"radio set pindig GPIO10 1").unwrap();
+        thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(1000));
+    }
+}
+```
