Hey all~

Ok so I now have code working on both a Qwiic enabled Redboard with a SparkX Qwiic RF, and a Sparkfun ESP32 LoRa 1-CH Gateway.

I have a weather shield on the Redboard I want to send serial messages to the Sparkfun ESP32 LoRa 1-CH Gateway. I can’t seems to get the two to talk.

Any ideas?

To be clear is that a SparkFun Pro RF - LoRa connected to the Redboard?

If it is then you need to go down further in the page of the examples for that board and find the WAN example.

The code for the Gateway board enables it to be a LoRa WAN gateway. This is different than having to RF Pro boards (or equiv.) talk directly to each other using some very basic raw comms. The WAN software requires the messages to be formatted a specific way of they will not even be recognized.

I have a similar problem trying to get an RF Pro to talk to the Gateway. I am currently looking for code that I can run on the Gateway to receive messages from the RF Pro so I don’t have to run the Gatway sketch/code.

Hey J~

Thank you for the response.

The QwiicRF is connected to the Redboard Qwiic, which is also connected to the weather station sensors. The Sparkfun ESP32 LoRa 1-CH Gateway is running the ESP-sc-gateway software “listening” for messages.

Anyone know how to use the QwiicRF with any other devices besides another QwiicRF?
