API
send
Write Packet to send. Each packet can contain up to 255 bytes.
lora.send("Hello")readVersion
Read Version of chip.
let version = lora.readVersion()available()
Returns number of bytes available for reading.
let data = 0
forever(function () {
if (lora.available() < 0) {
data = lora.read()
}
})read
Read the next byte from the packet.
let data = lora.read()packetRssi()
Returns the RSSI of the received packet.
rssi = lora.packetRssi()parsePacket
Check if a packet has been received.
rssi = lora.parsePacket(0)Pins Used
