Hi.
I used LoRa library inline C. https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-LoRa .
I used reading method stream from https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/hardware-serial-on-esp32.97318/post-613593.
But I do not get any data.


B4X: 
Sub Process_Globals
    Public Serial1 As Serial
    Dim LoraReader As Timer
    Dim bytcon As ByteConverter
    Dim Lora_Stream As Stream
End Sub

Private Sub AppStart
    Serial1.Initialize(9600)
    Log("AppStart")
    Delay(1000)
    RunNative("Lora_Stream",Null)
    Delay(1000)
    LoraReader.Initialize("Lora_Reader_Tick",500)
    LoraReader.Enabled=True  
End Sub

Sub Lora_Reader_Tick
    Dim x As Int = Lora_Stream.BytesAvailable
    Log(x)
    If x> 0 Then
        Log("size ", x)
        Dim buffer(x) As Byte
        Lora_Stream.ReadBytes(buffer,0,x)
        Log(bytcon.StringFromBytes(buffer))
    End If
End Sub

#if C
#include <SPI.h>
#include <LoRa.h>

void Lora_Stream (B4R::Object* unused) {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial);

  Serial.println("LoRa Sender");
  LoRa.setPins(15, 16, 4);
//  if (!LoRa.begin(433E6)) {
//    Serial.println("Starting LoRa failed!");
//    while (1);
//  }
  ::LoRa.begin(433E6);
  b4r_main::_lora_stream->wrappedStream = &::LoRa;
  LoRa.setTxPower(20);
  LoRa.setSignalBandwidth(62.5E3);//41.7E3
  LoRa.setSpreadingFactor(12);
  LoRa.setCodingRate4(8);
  Serial.println("LoRa init succeeded.");
 
}

#End If
Please help me.
Thankful.

i can propose you this first draft of wrapper for LoRa library, to see if it can help you.
original library : https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-LoRa (this one you want to use)

2 initialize available:
not working for ARDUINO_SAMD_MKRWAN1300
configuration with callbacks
void Initialize( Subvoid_int OnReceiveSub, Subvoid_void OnTxDoneSub);
configuration without callbacks
void Initialize1();

2 setSPI for esp32
one for HSPI or VSPI with standard configuration of pins
void setSPI(byte SPIbus);
one for HSPI or VSPI and with reconfiguration of pins. (pin=255 => pin not changed)
void setSPI1(byte SPIbus,byte sck, byte miso, byte mosi, byte ss);

SPIbus is a parameter available in library

HI Candide.
Many thanks for wrapping this library.
I tested this library but could not send or receive any data.
I used ESP8266 and the parameters of the transmitter and the receiver are the same.
Thank you for your help.

B4X: 
Sub Process_Globals
    Public Serial1 As Serial
    Dim repeater As Timer
    Dim LoraReader As Timer
'    Dim bytcon As ByteConverter
    Dim Lora As LoRa
End Sub

Private Sub AppStart
    Serial1.Initialize(9600)
    Log("AppStart")
    repeater.Initialize("Repeater_Tick",5000)
    repeater.Enabled=True
    LoraReader.Initialize("Lora_Reader_Tick",500)
'    LoraReader.Enabled=True
    Lora.Initialize("Loa_OnReceive","Lora_OnTxDone")
'    Lora.Initialize1
    Lora.setPins(15, 16, 4)
    Log(Lora.begin(433E6))
    Lora.setTxPower(20,1)
    Lora.setSignalBandwidth(62.5E3)
    Lora.setSpreadingFactor(12)
    Lora.setCodingRate4(8)
End Sub

Sub Repeater_Tick
    Lora.write1("test",4)
End Sub

Sub Lora_Reader_Tick
'    Log(Lora.available)   
    
End Sub

Sub Loa_OnReceive(packetSize As Int)
    Log(packetSize)
End Sub

Sub Lora_OnTxDone()
    Log("data sent")   
End Sub

thanks for your feedback.

i will check again wrapper and i will come back


can you check what is return of "Lora.begin" ? 0= init NOK / 1 = init OK

can you add at end of AppStart a " Lora.dumpRegisters "
it will send in log a dump of registers: it can be a way to check if SPI is OK and if access to hard is OK

to have callback "Loa_onreceive" working, you need to run a "Lora.receive" to start reception by library, and after each callback "Loa_onreceive"


also, can you check your hard configuration under arduino with an example provided with original library ? (just to confirm issue in wrapper)

hi
can you make tests with this file ? it is an arduino example provided with original library and adapted to B4R

Hi.
Thanks for your reply.
I checked return "Lora.begin" and the result was 1 . I even disconnected pin SCK to make sure SPI works properly and returns 0.
I ran a project with the Original library on the Arduino. Even in the example above, the sender is programmed with Arduino code.
I'll check the "Lora.dumpRegisters " and "Lora_onreceive".

Hi.
I'm sorry it's a little late.
I was testing your example code. It still did not work in "Callback" mode , but it did work with these changes.


B4X: 
Sub Process_Globals
    Public Serial1 As Serial

    Private destination As Byte = 0xFF        '// destination to send to
    Private lastSendTime As Long = 0          '// last send time
    Private interval As Int = 3000            '// interval between sends
End Sub


Sub AppStart
    Serial1.Initialize(9600)

    Log("AppStart")

        Log("Lora init done")
        '// override the default CS, reset, and IRQ pins (optional)
        LoRa.setPins(csPin, resetPin, irqPin)      '// set CS, reset, IRQ pin
        Log("Lora setpins done")
          Dim init As Int = LoRa.begin(433E6)     '// initialize ratio at 433 MHz
        Log("init result: ",init)            
          If init = 0 Then
            Log("LoRa init failed. Check your connections.")   '// if failed, do nothing
        Else
    '          LoRa.receive(0)                    '// 0 = explicitHeaderMode
              Log("LoRa init succeeded.")
              AddLooper("Lora_loop")             '// to send message every 3sec
        End If

End Sub

Sub Lora_loop
 
    If LoRa.parsePacket(0) > 0 Then
        Dim incoming() As Byte                     '// payload of packet
        Dim received() As Byte
        Do While (LoRa.available > 0)                '// can't use readString() in callback, so
            received = Array As Byte(LoRa.read)
            incoming = JoinBytes(Array(incoming, received))         '// add bytes one by one
        Loop
        Log(incoming)

    If (Millis - lastSendTime > interval)  Then
        Dim message As String = "Hello LoRa World!"     '// send a message

        Log("Sending ", message)
        lastSendTime = Millis                   '// timestamp the message

    End If
End Sub
                                 
Sub sendMessage(outgoing() As Byte)
    LoRa.beginPacket(0)                           '// start packet
    LoRa.write(destination)                    '// add destination address
    LoRa.write(localAddress)                   '// add sender address
    LoRa.write(msgCount)                       '// add message ID
    LoRa.write(outgoing.length)                '// add payload length
    LoRa.write1(outgoing,outgoing.length)      '// add payload
    LoRa.endPacket(False)                             '// finish packet and send it
    msgCount = msgCount+1                      '// increment message ID
End Sub

Also, routine "Lora_onTXdone" is still not called even though "TX" is done.
To make sure the wiring was correct, I tested the hardware under Arduino with the original library and "callback" sample code.
Another thing is that when I compile on "Pro or Pro Mini", gets this error
D:\EEAA3~1.FIL\Harpag\ALLPRO~1\LORATE~1\promini\lora\Objects\src\rLoRa.cpp: In member function 'void B4R::B4RLoRa::dumpRegisters()':

i fond the problem : "setpins" was done after init of pins for interruption done.

Now init of pins for interruption is done at "begin", and after optional "setpins"
DumpRegister is now providing 128 bytes in an arraybyte.

now callback should be OK.

Please to test again. (please to install arduino library provided and B4R library library in rLoRa directory)

Hi.
Sorry for late reply.
I tried exactly the sample code you provided, but it still "Callback" did not work.
Sampler code of the sender under Arduino (board pro mini , Setpins : defult):

C: 
#include <SPI.h>
#include <LoRa.h>

int counter = 0;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial);

  Serial.println("LoRa Sender");

  if (!LoRa.begin(433E6)) {
    Serial.println("Starting LoRa failed!");
    while (1);
  }
}

void loop() {
  Serial.print("Sending packet: ");
  Serial.println(counter);

  // send packet
  LoRa.beginPacket();
  LoRa.print("hello ");
  LoRa.print(counter);
  LoRa.endPacket();

  counter++;

  delay(5000);
}

Sampler code of the receiver with callback under Arduino:
C: 
#include <SPI.h>
#include <LoRa.h>

#ifdef ARDUINO_SAMD_MKRWAN1300
#error "This example is not compatible with the Arduino MKR WAN 1300 board!"
#endif

void setup() {
  LoRa.setPins(15, 16, 4);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial);

  Serial.println("LoRa Receiver Callback");

  if (!LoRa.begin(433E6)) {
    Serial.println("Starting LoRa failed!");
    while (1);
  }

  // Uncomment the next line to disable the default AGC and set LNA gain, values between 1 - 6 are supported
  // LoRa.setGain(6);
 
  // register the receive callback
  LoRa.onReceive(onReceive);

  // put the radio into receive mode
  LoRa.receive();
}

void loop() {
  // do nothing
}

void onReceive(int packetSize) {
  // received a packet
  Serial.print("Received packet '");

  // read packet
  for (int i = 0; i < packetSize; i++) {
    Serial.print((char)LoRa.read());
  }

  // print RSSI of packet
  Serial.print("' with RSSI ");
  Serial.println(LoRa.packetRssi());
}

The data is received by the receiver board.
Note: The receiver board is the same board on which I uploaded the above sample code.

i fond the problem : "setpins" was done after init of pins for interruption done.

Now init of pins for interruption is done at "begin", and after optional "setpins"
DumpRegister is now providing 128 bytes in an arraybyte.

now callback should be OK.

Please to test again. (please to install arduino library provided and B4R library library in rLoRa directory)

Hi.
I also tried the library and sample code 1.2.1, but unfortunately "Callback" still does not work.

AppStart
test LoRa Duplex with callback
Lora init done
Lora setpins done
init result: 1
LoRa init succeeded.
