CircuitPython driver for the Semtech SX1280 LoRa chip (2.4 GHz)

🛰 Hi!

I build electronic systems for harsh environments (like space).

Everything is open source, so check out PyCubed, KickSat-2, V-R3X, or PY4 missions for more details!

🛠 Like prototyping electronics?

Error transmiting info between transmitter and receptor with sx1280

Good afternoon,
I am using your library for the sx1280 module implemented in a LAMBDA80-24S module from rfsolutions, this is connected by spi to a raspberry pi 3, the scheme is the same for sender and receiver.
When sending information and later receiving it I am having an error, I send an bytearray b'\x02' and the receiver always receives b'\xab' regardless of the bytearray I send. If I send two bytes (b'\x02\x02') the receiver receives two bytes but always b'\xab\xab'.
Can you help me?

Minor issue when relaying with multiple radios

When a message is sent out, it can reach both the target and a relay radio. Sometimes it gets caught up with the relay radio instead of the target radio as they get the message at the same time, and send it back at the same time. Causing an overlap with radio communication. A planned fix is

• Send out to target radio.
• If nothing is returned we will send out a relay message
• This would work, but it would be a lot of extra code cause there will have to be a system where relay radios would have to ignore the first message instead of relaying it (all the while seeing if it was meant for it). Plus, in an ideal world, it would connect to the radio directly and not get caught up as you would often try sending the message multiple times if it wasn't able to connect the first time.

Picking up the Library

Do you have any results for testing as far as what is currently working as expect or what is currently not working? I'm trying to compare to other libraries in different languages, and having some issues following each steps.

Thanks.
