Hi @dontsovcmc, please submit a pull request for the suggested changes.
@dontsovcmc is this can be used in RFM96? and can I know what is the RFM96 PA_BOOST pin?, I'm confused about this pin because I didn't get it in datasheet
I don't read your manual. RFM96 should be the same & pin should be soldered on board.
@dontsovcmc add 1278 support too
Hi, I'm experimenting with this library and I'm measuring the maximum range
I have the SX1276 Lora Shield --- Dragino Lora Shield based RF95, according to what I have investigated I can place up to 20 db of power.
LoRa.setTxPower (20);
In this post I do not understand what they do to not limit to 17 db Thank
What is the question? I don't test code with RF95. Please, check current before measure range.
Currently the arduino reaches me approximately 1 km with 17 db, my question is for the libery, I am limited to 17 db, yes it supports me up to 20 db? I just want to make it work a range of 2 km as the specifications of the shield
1km is bad. I got >2km with SMA antennas +17dBm with SX1276. I got 1km in the city througth buildings.
I done the same test with RFM96:
I read 20-25 mA during transmission. According to https://goo.gl/H9ZdmN, by default, my code was enabled to used +17dB.
But from the datasheet http://www.hoperf.com/upload/rf/RFM95_96_97_98W.pdf ( page 13 ) i should read 80/90 mA. 20 mA is the value for + 7 dBm.
Someone can help me?
read 20-25 mA during transmission - you use simple multimeter or oscilloscope ? 20mA - is receiving current. Increase transmitting time to see transmitting current on multimeter:
check current
@dontsovcmc You are right, now i see something around 100mA.
@DaveCalaway, yeah =) I don't understand, are you turn on +20dBm or use default +17dBm? Please, check the current using my additional code for +20dBm! https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-LoRa/pull/79 Can you measure a range between +17dBm and +20dBm power?
Closed via #153.
It's will be good to add +20 dBm mode for SX1276 board and written in manual http://www.semtech.com/images/datasheet/sx1276.pdf
I have 2 boards: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LoRa32u4-II-Lora-LiPo-Atmega32u4-SX1276-HPD13-868MHZ-EU-Antenna/282623601184
I check board current when transmitting at 17dBm and 20 dBm settings (as read in manual):
17 dBm:
LoRa.setTxPower(17);
current receive mode: 23mA current transmit 1 byte with crc: 66mA (~4sec), 73mA (~2 sec)20 dBm:
current receive mode: 23mA current transmit 1 byte with crc: 92mA (~4sec), 98mA (~2 sec)
I also see ~2 RSSI difference on receiver between 17 and 20 modes. I hadn't measure distance, sorry.
p.s. to turn off 20 dBm call:
