ESP32 + RFM95W + Deep Sleep

End Devices (Nodes) Hardware

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get a ESP32 with RFM95W working using Deep Sleep, but I’m not getting anywhere.

I found the following library https://github.com/ngraziano/lmicesp32 but even the examples are not working. Bellow the log:

I never see the packet arriving on the gateway.

Does anyone here have a successful recipe on how to get the ESP32 + RFM95 in deep sleep and wake up periodically on Timer Wakeup?

Thanks in advance

Just a thought but is this to do with OTAA or ABP?

The ESP chips restart on wake up from sleep to the best of my knowledge. In the case of ABP you would have to stored the frame counter value in non-volatile memory to refresh your counter on reboot. With ABP the packet is ignored (possibly cloned) if the frame counter doesn’t increment with each TX.

This may not be the issue but then I am not a programmer or an expert by any stretch of one’s imagination!

Well, I don’t even get it to join with either OTAA or ABP.

Hi,

I am the person who make this modified version of LMIC. It is quite experimental but it is working for me.

The exemples directory need to be cleanup and adapt to my modification please take the src/main.cpp as base for your modification.

I see you get:

Starting
13164: Chip version : 0

The value version of “0” is not normal, it’s mean that the esp32 do not communicate with the sx127x, can you check the pin definition in main.cpp, in particular nss pin number.

// Pin mapping
const lmic_pinmap lmic_pins = {
    .nss = 18,
    .rxtx = LMIC_UNUSED_PIN,
    .rst = 14,
    .dio = {26, 33},
};

Hi,

I’m sure it’s not the pin mapping because i have another sketch (without deep sleep) with the exact same pin mapping and that works perfect.

And to be honestly, besides the keys, my sketch is 100% identical to the one in src/main.cpp

It has to be something else.

Eric,
I have just upload an update version with more log on “LMIC_DEBUG_LEVEL 2”, I also change LMIC.setClockError(MAX_CLOCK_ERROR * 50 / 100); in main.cpp because with all this log the timing is less accurate.

Can you give it a try and post logs. You should see on your gateway console the Join Request

I have test it and for reference I got the following logs.

Eric,

There is a problem with the communication with the RFM95W, all the value reread after write are 0.

It’s maybe due to the RST pin, in config.h file is CFG_sx1276_radio set to 1 ? (if not set to 1 the RST is inverted)
Or can you try to set RST pin to LMIC_UNUSED_PIN to disable hardware reset of RFM95.

The program stop because it wait for the RFM signal the finish of TX which never happen.

Is the other sketch which is working available online ?

Grazy,

the working code can be found here: https://pastebin.com/9dvnBa4i

Regarding your other questions, radio is set to 1 in config, for RST i tried both to no avail.

What I did notice is that at the very first beginning of the log right after “Starting” you are writing 3 times 8, reading back first f then 8. In my log in all tree writes it writes 0 and reads back 0, do not know if that has something to do with it.

Hi,
Yes the problem is with the reading of 0 instead of the actual value written. The firsts write to reg 1 is to put chip in sleep mode after init (it only modify the lowest bit of register). And when it write 8x to reg 1, it is to put it in LORA mode, it shou

I add more logs to try to understand the problem. And you can add more by un commenting the following code in hal.cpp (you can do it also in the original LMIC library to compare it is same)

In function hal_pin_nss enable the log:

Serial.println(val?">>":"<<");

In function hal_spi enable the log


      Serial.print(">");
      Serial.print(out, HEX);
      Serial.print("<");
      Serial.println(res, HEX);

I got the following logs :

You should get something similar.

I add the code to test communication, you can try the same code in working sketch in setup().

    // read chip version at init 
    hal_pin_nss(0);
    hal_spi(0x42);
    uint8_t val = hal_spi(0x00);
    hal_pin_nss(1);
    Serial.print("Manual read of chip version (should be 18) = ");
    Serial.print(val);
11

Grazy,

first of all thank you for your patience and collaboration, really appreciated.

In your log it says :

It should be pin 14 like it is define in your working sketch (https://pastebin.com/9dvnBa4i)
Can you check again this pin number and if is not define in two place.
And can you verify it is not modified with some trace in setup at different point like this:

Serial.print("RST pin: ");
Serial.println(lmic_pins.rst, DEC);

And for the working sketch, can you move

 // read chip version at init 
    hal_pin_nss(0);
    hal_spi(0x42);
...

after

// LMIC init
os_init();

because we get 0 and it is not normal.

Result of the changes to the working sketch, now the chip version returns 18:

And here with your requested changes, reset pin stays all the time 14 (sorry for the 21, i tried another pin just to ensure 14 was not the cause, changed it bak to 14 now).
Chip version read in setup still returns 0 though as opposite to the working sketch where it returns 18:

Grazy,

i think i have found the problem, i included the library SSD1306 in platformio for the oled, once i removed that, it started working… Unbelievable

I will do some more testing…

16

Eric,

Good news because I had no more idea.
The library SSD1306 may mess with SPI.

I advise you to reduce the log level (comment the print of spi communication) and change LMIC_DEBUG_LEVEL to 1, it works better.

17

@grazy are you using your library in production?

I get random results.
The ESP32 stops waking up after a random number of sleepcycles.
I googled high and low, and most of the problems seems to be related to Rev 0 boards, though my ESP32 is Rev 1.

The longest i got it running was 1048 sleep cycles, then it stopped, only a hard reset gets it going again.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Kind regards and a happy New Year,

Eric

Hi @EricVdB,

Sorry i am just using lora as a hobbyist. And my ESP32 consume too much in sleep state so I go back to arduino mini and rfm95 and i do not have active device with an esp32.

But for your problem maybe there is a bug in the calculation of the duty cycle (problem with signed and unsigned int). Do you try to wait for something like 19 hours (it is the time for OsTime type to overflow and go back to zero) ? If it is reworking after 19 hours or half of 19 hours, it is a problem with duty cycle calculation.

Did it stop in sleep ?
Can you make a debug version with activate wifi in main loop and try to send a signal to see if it is sleeping.
Or plug serial and add some log in main loop.

19

Oh, ok, I’ll try to get more logging.

The sleep time is 5 minutes.

Btw, during sleep with a BME280 sensor attached the consumption is 28µA
(I use a bare ESP32)

Greetz,
Eric

20

Ok bare ESP32 is the secret for low consumption :smiley:

1048 * 5 min is about 3 day … If i have time tomorrow, I can make a try with my heltec board and print some information on the LCD but it may be long to find the bug.
