Lora support in MP?

Post by mark189 » Mon May 08, 2017 1:39 pm

Hello there,

I'm new in MP and wonder if there is any support for Lora in MP?
Importing the "lora module" in MP is not possible

thanx

You'll probably get a better response by posting to the Pycom forum https://forum.pycom.io/.

Thanx Peter.

But I'm looking for a solution to work with Micropython and Lora on a Wemos or NODEMCU board. (esp8266)
Or is the use of the Lora module in Micropython only possible on a Lopy board?

regards
Mark

LoRa is a radio link modulation standard and requires very specific radio hardware. As far as I'm aware the Pycom board is the only one with LoRa hardware and running MicroPython. You certainly can't get a LoRa signal out of an ESP8266...

you can use the feather wing from adafruit to get the hardware, but I don't know if anyone has converted the libraries from adafruit to micropython. They also have a break out boards for the same chips that the feather wing is based on.

it was something I was going to start looking into soon as I almost have my project working on the wifi and need the extended range for far end controllers. however I have not had time yet. so if you find one can you post back?
