Big ESP32 / SX127x topic part 1

Hmm, I was quite sure their GitHub repo was already mentioned here, but no… So:

And some asides:

  • The EU868 units I got all seem to be running the File > Examples > LoRa Function Basic Test > OLED_LoRa_Sender sketch, but then using #define BAND 868E6. So, to use OLED_LoRa_Receiver, change the value for band in the example sketch.

  • To make the receiver examples see the TTN LoRaWAN 868.1, use #define BAND 868.1E6.

  • Using LoRa.onReceive(callback) does not work for me; calling LoRa.parsePacket() within loop() works fine though.

  • The orange battery LED is flashing like crazy; maybe attaching a battery makes it stop? @DeuxVisdocument claims: “The orange LED lights will go out when the battery is full”:

  • The same document also says: “To use the on-board IO port with touch function as the touch signal input (WIFI Kit32 and LoRa 32 with this function), add a 100 nF pulldown capacitor to this pin.”
