The readme.md says to use the RadioHead Library, but this is a serial LoRa Module; are we suppose to use the modified Seeed Studio files? I'm having trouble with the TX sketch timing out. The receive unit gets one byte with start byte found. The two units can send and receive the Seeed Studio client server software. Suggestions?

That's the software I'm trying to use. I have the Solar! The Missing Low Power Arduino Board with Grove & Serial RF Pro; no problem with that software. Now I tried to upgrade to LoRa, and purchased two boards from Seeed Studio, 433MHz, and Grove connectors. I assume that is the board that you are using. (You know what assume makes out of me.) If you compile the above software with RadioHead Library RH_RF95, the radios will not init. If you use the modified Seeed Studio RH_RF95 library which uses RHUartDriver, the radios will init, and send and receive packets. However my TX sketch times out and the radio will not re init, per the above software. Yes I recompiled the above software, and it will compile using either library.
Thanks

Hmmm. I think I might know what is happening.  Take a picture of the Mini Pro LP Board for me. We moved to 16MHz LP Boards in the LoRa units from the 8MHz versions in the Serial LP Boards. That is probably the difference. BP |

The LP Arduino Board is 8MHz, cause I have to use MiniPro 3.3v 8MHz, when I compile sketches, if I want the Serial ports to work at the correct baud rate. Attachments:

In our LoRa product, we ship the 16MHz version of the MiniProLP board. You have the one we shipped with the Serial RF Pro version of WXLink.
The LoRa boards will not work reliably with the Mini Pro LP 8MHz version.

Okay,so I order the WXLink - LoRa Wireless Data Link order #2030; received today and assembled per Solar WXLink LoRa for WeatherRack 0211-SGWXlink-DSBT.
The RX Module: Receive Started
Software Version: 4
init failed
The TX Module: init failed
This is the software that came installed. I assume the debug is undefined in the TX, because that is the only message.
Any Suggestions?

OK, send me a picture of the setup. Is that all it said? Nothing else?

  That is all that is said. The version that is loaded is 4 on the RX and what is in github is version 002. The radios are in the right softserial ports. RX Grove D8/D9, and TX Grove D6/D7. The radios work on a Seeeduino Lotus with their example code, client & server with their modified RH_RF95 for serial radios, not SPI module like RadioHeads version. Thanks for your time and help. |

The software github.com/switchdoclabs/SDL_Arduino_WXLink_LoRa_Tx has softserial 8 & 9, the Solar WXLink LoRa for WeatherRack 0211-SGWXLINK-DSBT has wiring 6 & 7. That doesn't work. Also had to recompile the TX & RX sketches by placing them in the example file for the Seeed Studio Grove_LoRa_433MHz_and_915MHz_RF-master library, to use the modified RH_RF95 library to use serial instead of SPI interface of RadioHeads RH_RF95. The 16MHz LP arduino corrected my original transmission timeout. Now to see if it works with the WeatherRack. GM: 82 BM: 0

OK. As soon as get back to the Lab today, I'm going to look at this. We have Solar WXLinks and non-solar WXLinks deployed, so I am very surprised we haven't heard about this problem before.

Has there been any updates to this issue. If they were supposed to work out of the box i had to connect up and run the serial monitor to discover i am getting the init failed, same situation as raider posted. Ports and grove connectors connected to appropriate ports even validated by ports in arduino code respective to the rx and tx modules.

I would suggest that you reprogram the parts from the Github Archive.
Something seems to have gone wrong in the programming process.
I've posted a note for Cindy to check out the latest programming procedure.

I have a problem. WXlink Lora RX is not read data.But I test Seeed Lora module used seeed example , it's ok. |

yisong,
Do you have an antenna on the LoRa transmitter?
