Hello Pythonists,
Im wondering if anyone else is trying to use micropython on using RAKWirless's RAK11330?
Its got a RP2040 on it, so it should not be too far of a stretch to do it. ( i've got some on order, hopefully coming in the next week or so )..
I'll be looking for lora / lorawan modules

RAK 11300 and Micropython.
Re: RAK 11300 and Micropython.
The 2.0 to 3.6v supply range means it will need an external voltage reg to run it from a lipo, but nice price. I'd be interested to see how well it works. I had a lot of grief trying to connect Pycom's lopy4s to TTN few years back, OTAA sort of worked but ABP was hopeless.
Re: RAK 11300 and Micropython.
I had the opposite experience with ABP and OTAA. While ABP always worked, once set up properly for all times, OTAA had problems with timing and signal levels.

Re: RAK 11300 and Micropython.
Its essetnially an RP2040 and a SX1262..
Are there exisiting modules to make that work? Any pointers.
I found this.. ( https://github.com/lemariva/uPyLoRaWAN )
FYI, still finding my feet with micropython. I'm a long time Python coder, long time electronics guy, but trying to fill in the gaps..

Re: RAK 11300 and Micropython.
It was suggested on the rak forum https://forum.rakwireless.com/t/microp ... 310/6431/2 that perhaps that i could use the repo
https://github.com/lemariva/uPyLoRaWAN
and port the sx127x.py to SX1262.

Looks like most of the works been done.. i just need to join this all together.

Re: RAK 11300 and Micropython.
So, i've hit a bit of a setback.. and not entirely sure what to do next. I put the RAK11300 into bootloader mode. Got the RP2 drive up and copied the RP2040 Python UF2 file into it.. It Immediatlely rebooted, as expected , and COM6 appeared on my machine. ( i'm using windows 11, Pymakr and Vscode ).. The REPL just doe'stn want to respond.... ( nb, its fully funcitonal running the arduinio code )..
Do I need to build a custom version of micropython?
