SX1268Library 1.0.5

SX1268Library

This library simplifies control of SX1268 LoRa HAT module in C#. The library is designed and configured to run on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Usage

• Below is a short snippet to send data over LoRa using Raspberry Pi 4, without modifying module configuration.

  var module = SX1268.CreateRaspberryPi("/dev/serial0");
  var bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Hello World!");
  module.SendData(bytes);
  

  • Similarly, one can create an instance for Jetson by calling SX1268.CreateJetsonOrinNano("/dev/serial0") or SX1268.CreateJetsonAlternative("/dev/serial0"), depending on how Jetson is setup.

• It is possible to modify various properties of the module on initialization, by passing a SX1268Configuration instance to the constructor. This method requires one to explicitly state all GPIO pins to be used (for M0 and M1 pins of SX126x module)

  var config = new SX1268Configuration()
  {
      AirSpeed = RATE_9K6,
      BufferSize = SIZE_128B,
      Power = POWER_22DBM
  };
  
  var module = new SX1268("/dev/serial0", 22, 27, config);
  var bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Hello World!");
  module.SendData(bytes);
  

• Changing module properties can also be done after the class is initialized.

  var config = new SX1268Configuration()
  {
      AirSpeed = RATE_9K6,
      BufferSize = SIZE_128B,
      Power = POWER_22DBM
  };
  
  var module = SX1268.CreateRaspberryPi("/dev/serial0");
  var bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Old configuration");
  
  // Send with the old configuration.
  module.SendData(bytes);
  
  // Modify some of the properties.
  module.SetConfiguration(config);
  
  // Send with the new configuration.
  bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("New configuration");
  module.SendData(bytes);
  

• To receive data from the module, one can use the DataReceived event.

  var config = new SX1268Configuration()
  {
      AirSpeed = RATE_9K6,
      BufferSize = SIZE_128B,
      Power = POWER_22DBM
  };
  
  var module = SX1268.CreateRaspberryPi("/dev/serial0");
  module.DataAvailable += (sender, args) => 
  {
      Console.WriteLine($"Received {args.Payload.Length} bytes: {Encoding.ASCII.GetString(args.Payload)}");
  }
