SX 00: Configure Registers

This example shows how to configure the SX1272 module registers and read the settings used

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote PRO 1 x Battery 1 x MiniUSB wire 1 x SX1272 module (LoRa)

Notes

- The SX1272 module is provided with a special 4.5 dBi antenna, which enables maximum range. The only exception is Smart Parking; in this case the antenna is smaller, 0 dBi, to fit inside the enclosure. - It is not recommended to work without an antenna screwed to the module. The module could be damaged due to RF reflections. - The SX1272 module can only be used in special Waspmote units which have been modified to drive the SPI pins to SOCKET0. (only SOCKET0 is available for SX1272) - This module does not save the configuration. So, the network settings as the mode or the channel MUST be configured every time it is switched on. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15
