SCPI interface to SX1272 and SX1276

Dependencies:   SX127x lib_gps lib_mma8451q lib_mpl3115a2 lib_sx9500 libscpi mbed

Description

This program implements a SCPI command parser. When connected via the debug virtual comm port, you can command the radio and peripherals to perform specific tasks or to set specific parameters. The serial port defaults to 9600bps N-8-1.

Example

The following exampling causes the NA Mote to transmit a continuous LoRa signal.
