Chatting with E32-DTU ? #4

Open theck32 opened 1 year ago

theck32 commented 1 year ago

would it be possible to use lora E32-DTU modules which have an output directly to RS232 and RS485 to use this chat system with Arduino, Nodemcu esp8266 or Raspberry pi and/or simply Android by OTG cable and an RS232 to USB converter ? Alternatively connect the Lora E32-DTU modules to an Ebyte NB114 module to convert the RS232 ports to IP for use one way or another? I can use the E32-DTU modules with OTG cable on Android and an RS232 converter on usb port and a terminal on Android to Android or Android to linux or windows with terminal, but the terminals are not chat friendly! If you have an idea with the material I have, I'm interested I've been looking for a chat solution with it's E32-DTU modules for several months! Thanks

Not sure whether the E32-DTU can have its firware updated, it looks more like a plug-in solution as serial channel range extender. Given the hardware can run an Arduino-compiled firmware, it should be possible

Ok, thank you for taking the time to answer me! How can I program my Arduino nano or mega 2560 to try if it works? It would help me enormously to know how to program my arduino for this chat application or program a nodemcu esp8266! and can I simply connect it to my Android phone with OTG cable and last question when the arduino code is written I will only need to connect my E32-DTU to the TX, RX and ground pins and then connect the arduino to usb on my android phone or windows or linux computer to be able to use the chat application? Unfortunately I need help with the arduino code and operation after writing the code on the Arduino, thanks in advance! Sorry for my bad English I speak French!
