Detailed Description

Radio driver implementation for Semtech SX1272 plus variants.

Supports only SPI at the moment. Implements pure virtual LoRaRadio class.

Definition at line 61 of file SX1276_LoRaRadio.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SX1276_LoRaRadio ( PinName  mosi,
PinName  miso,
PinName  sclk,
PinName  nss,
PinName  reset,
PinName  dio0,
PinName  dio1,
PinName  dio2,
PinName  dio3,
PinName  dio4,
PinName  dio5,
PinName  rf_switch_ctl1 = NC,
PinName  rf_switch_ctl2 = NC,
PinName  txctl = NC,
PinName  rxctl = NC,
PinName  ant_switch = NC,
PinName  pwr_amp_ctl = NC,
PinName  tcxo = NC 
)

Use this constructor if pin definitions are provided manually.

The pins that are marked NC are optional. It is assumed that these pins are not connected until/unless configured otherwise.

Note: Pin ant_switch is equivalent to RxTx pin at https://developer.mbed.org/components/SX1276MB1xAS/. Reading the state of this pin indicates if the radio module type is SX1276MB1LAS(North American frequency band supported) or SX1276MAS (European frequency band supported). Pin dio4 can be mapped to multiple pins on the board, please refer to schematic of your board. For reference look at https://developer.mbed.org/components/SX1276MB1xAS/

Most of the radio module control pins are not being used at the moment as the SX1276MB1xAS shield has not connected them. For consistency and future use we are leaving the pins in the constructor. For example, if in some setting SX1276 radio module gets connected to an external power amplifier or radio latch controls are connected.
