API

send

Write Packet to send. Each packet can contain up to 255 bytes.

lora.send("Hello")

readVersion

Read Version of chip.

let version = lora.readVersion()

available()

Returns number of bytes available for reading.

let data = 0
forever(function () {
    if (lora.available() < 0) {
        data = lora.read()
    }
})

read

Read the next byte from the packet.

let data = lora.read()

packetRssi()

Returns the RSSI of the received packet.

rssi = lora.packetRssi()

parsePacket

Check if a packet has been received.

rssi = lora.parsePacket(0)
