LoRa Communication between 2 lopys



  • Hi all,

    i am trynig to have a comm between 2 lopys using the LoRa.LORA mode.
    I used this code :

    server:

    from network import LoRa
    import socket
    
    lora = LoRa(mode=LoRa.LORA)
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_LORA, socket.SOCK_RAW)
    mydata = s.recv(64)
    print(mydata)
    

    client:

    from network import LoRa
    import socket
    
    lora = LoRa(mode=LoRa.LORA)
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_LORA, socket.SOCK_RAW)
    s.send(b'0123456789')
    

    nothing happens...
    I dont see anything transiting.
    What am i doing wrong ?

    Thx
    François



  • Thanks to Roberto, problem is solved.
    Seems to be a pbm my boot.py

    Bad one :

    import os
    from machine import UART
    uart = UART(0, 115200)
    os.dupterm(uart)
    

    Good one :

    import machine
    import os
    import time
    
    uart = machine.UART(0, 115200)
    os.dupterm(uart)
    


  • Thanks !
    I tried this but doesnt work for me !
    Thats why i did something simpler.



  • Hello @fb

    here is a nice example on how t ouse 2 LoPys to connect them using LoRa.
    https://forum.pycom.io/topic/236/lopy-nano-gateway

    Hope this helps
    Best,
    Roberto



  • My configuration :

    import os; [os.uname().sysname, os.uname().machine, os.uname().release]
    ['LoPy', 'LoPy with ESP32', '0.9.5.b1']
    


  • Thx for your answer.
    So i did that :

    Client :

    from network import LoRa
    import socket
    import time
    
    lora = LoRa(mode=LoRa.LORA)
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_LORA, socket.SOCK_RAW)
    s.setblocking(False)
    
    while(True):
        s.send(b'0123456789')
        time.sleep(2)
    

    Server :

    from network import LoRa
    import socket
    
    lora = LoRa(mode=LoRa.LORA)
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_LORA, socket.SOCK_RAW)
    s.setblocking(False)
    
    while(True):
        mydata = s.recv(64)
        if (len(mydata)>2):
            print(mydata)
    

    Stil nothing is printed.
    And my REPL is out because it seems overloaded. Is it normal ?

  • Hi

    I think its because you only listen once. you need to get the server constantly listening.

    While (true):
    mydata = s.recv(64)
    print(mydata)

    Then send the packet again.

    Also not all packets make it to the server so posibly loop the "send as" as well with a:

    time.sleep(2)

    at the end of the loop.
