The error message means that the SPI communication failed. Sometimes it fails after h/w reset until s/w reset.
I have no oscilloscope hence not sure why it is so.
Hi
I have the same error after deepsleep wake up.
First time work perfect, but after wakeup reset this error appears.
thank
That may concern two issues:

1. after reset:

2. power supply:

Hi,

No, I have no connection with MAKERFABS company.

Regards.

Hello,

I had the same problem with esp32 Heltec board, running micropython 1.17.
Fixed it by calling machine.SoftSPI instead of machine.SPI in the first argument of the SX127x class constructor(SPI is deprectated)

Code: Select all

device_spi = machine.SoftSPI(baudrate = 10000000,
        polarity = 0, phase = 0, bits = 8, firstbit = machine.SPI.MSB,
        sck = machine.Pin(device_config['sck'], machine.Pin.OUT, machine.Pin.PULL_DOWN),
        mosi = machine.Pin(device_config['mosi'],machine.Pin.OUT, machine.Pin.PULL_UP),
        miso = machine.Pin(device_config['miso'], machine.Pin.IN, machine.Pin.PULL_UP))

lora = SX127x(device_spi, pins=device_config, parameters=lora_parameters)
I hope this helps,
cheers

Could you share the device_config and lora_parameters objects that you passed into this to make this work? I have the same board and there is scant documentation for anything.
