Sigfox 08: Sigfox TX test

This example shows how perform a Sigfox TX test.

The possible settings are:

--> count = 0..65535: Count of SIGFOX test RF messages

--> period = 1..255 Period in seconds between SIGFOX test RF messages

--> channel = 0 to 180 or 220 to 400 or -1 (random channel)

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x Sigfox 868 or Sigfox 900 module 1 x 868/900 MHz antenna

Notes

- This example can be executed in Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15
