Unable to set modulation on EVRFv2

[bazuchan]

I'm using RFQuack on EvilCrowRFv2 with mqtt transport. I can set some options for CC1101 radio (freq, rate, bandwith) just fine, but I can't set modulation.

RFQuack(RFQuackShell, 172.17.2.1:1883)> q.radioA.set_modem_config(modulation="OOK")

result = -1
message = 0 changes applied and 1 failed.

Debug log on device

[RFQK]   58500337 T: Got command for moduleName: radioA, verb: set, argsLen: 2, messageLen 2

[RFQK]   58500339 T: Transport is sending 44 bytes on topic rfq1/out/set/radioA/rfquack_CmdReply/set_modem_config

My hardware config is https://github.com/joelsernamoreno/EvilCrowRF-V2/issues/18

@bazuchan can you please try to enable (really) verbose debug output in RadioLib here? https://github.com/jgromes/RadioLib/blob/master/src/BuildOpt.h#L924

Of course you should do that before running any build command and ensuring that a fresh copy of RadioLib is not getting fetched, or it'd overwrite your changes.

Looks like no data is sent to radio when trying to set modulation.

RFQuack(RFQuackShell, 172.17.2.1:1883)> q.radioA.set_modem_config(bitRate=10)

result = 0
message = 1 changes applied and 0 failed.

RFQuack(RFQuackShell, 172.17.2.1:1883)> q.radioA.set_modem_config(modulation="OOK")

result = -1

Likely, something is going sideways here:

https://github.com/rfquack/RFQuack/blob/3a493da01f9c0b0bab76469fdc0f1d4385863b9f/src/radio/RFQCC1101.h#L168

Maybe you can play around and add some extra debug messages to see what branch actually fails.

Found it. I'm using https://github.com/rfquack/RFQuack-cli and it looks like deprecated and has other values in protobuf. But I got it from installation instructions here https://github.com/rfquack/RFQuack/tree/master/client
