"Sender" Example Code Bootlooping #1

Closed Jordandarabos closed 4 years ago

Jordandarabos commented 4 years ago

Hey,

When I upload the "sender" example code to the RAK4260 with the ElectronicCats bootloader installed it gets stuck in a bootloop(the receiver code works fine). When I comment out the "LoRa.endPacket()" line it will run through the program but will not send any packets(as expected). So I expect that this is the issue but I can't quite figure out why. Please help. Thanks!

UPDATE 1/29:

So... my power supply ended up being bad which was causing a voltage dip during transmission. New power supply... Now the program runs fine however It's not sending any packets. In the serial monitor I get the first "Sending packet: 0" but then the LED just goes on and off with no more data in the serial monitor and nothing being received by my receiver(which I've confirmed works with another LoRa module.)

@Jordandarabos what version of the Arduino Core Electronic cats do you have?

Jordandarabos commented 4 years ago

Hey Sabas,

Thanks for the reply! I’m currently running version 1.0.6.

Hey,

So I was using the Radiohead library on the receiver module... I just thought to maybe switch over to the Sandeepmistry lib and now it works fine... Still doesn't show anything in the "sending" serial monitor from the RAK4260 but I'm now receiving the packets. So I guess it works fine and I'm just an idiot lol.

@Jordandarabos keep us up to date and let us know if your problem is solved, we are willing to help

@sabas1080 It seems to be working fine now... Have you guys had any luck using the sleep modes with the Arduino IDE? I can get it to work with RAKS example code but I was hoping to use the Arduino IDE. Thanks!

sabas1080 commented 4 years ago

Do you have examples? We can try port examples to arduino @Jordandarabos

Jordandarabos commented 4 years ago

@Sabas I was able to get this one working in Atmel Studio and got my power consumption down to 1uA! It would be awesome to be able to use it in the Arduino IDE!
