Investigate LoRa Module #2

Closed tedski999 closed 5 months ago

Before we can properly start this project, we need to first find out exactly what LoRa module we have and what its capabilities are. We're also going to need to learn how we should program the board with our own code and deploy it on battery power.

FYI: The LoRa module showed up as a serial device straight away, but to get the Espressif boards to show up in platformio I needed to install this driver: https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers?tab=downloads

Just sharing in case anyone else needs to do the same and so I remember what I did

Haven't done anything with those boards though other than see that they show up
