Re: ESP32 and LoRa

The tutorial has it linking to a Seeeduino Lotus. Tried it on an Arduino Uno, Hero and Seeeduino v4 but all the same issue. not sure about it working by itself. As you say everything else I've seen involves more than the Groves but the board doesn't have a DIO pin so hadn't tried any other way. I'll...

Re: ESP32 and LoRa

The serial is simply from the fact that the board has the Grove UART socket on it. Seemed like the easy play. Oh how wrong was I?? Presumably fairly wrong, because there is no such thing as a Grove UART socket :? Grove connectors are the same for any supported protocol. Like I said: Lora really suc...

Re: ESP32 and LoRa

What driver library are you using? I'm not using Arduino. Previously, I used an lmic based idf library (forgot which one specifically at the moment) and am currently writing my own because all the existing options are terrible/hubris. But then again, this library does not mention support for ESP ch...

Re: ESP32 and LoRa

What driver library are you using? Looking at https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Grove_LoRa_433MHz_and_915MHz_RF/blob/master/examples/rf95_HardwareSerial_server/rf95_HardwareSerial_server.ino it seems you'd have to parametrize & initialize the RH_RF95 with an instance of a serial port. But then again,...

Re: ESP32 and LoRa

Lora is a pretty horrid technology to work with. You'll spend a lot of time banging your head. Since you don't mention what error you're getting specifically or what you're trying to accomplish, there's not much more we can do than to commiserate and wish you good luck and patience. All I have is t...

ESP32 and LoRa

New here, and fairly new to the whole electronics thing but giving some projects a go. Right now I have an ESP32-WROOM-32 from AZ Delivery which I've been having fun with. Recently picked up a LoRa module (this one https://uk.farnell.com/seeed-studio/113060007/lora-radio-module-arduino-board/dp/4007...
