SX 09a: TX encrypted Frame

This example shows how to send an encrypted Waspmote Frame using the SX1272 module. This encrypted frame can be sent to Meshlium when the node has been registered with the proper AES key. Steps performed: - Configurate the LoRa mode - Create a new Waspmote Frame - Encrypt the Waspmote Frame - Send a packet with the encrypted frame

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote PRO 1 x Battery 1 x MiniUSB wire 1 x SX1272 module (LoRa) 1 x Receiver module with SX_09b example

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
