LoRa Module with UART communication on NCS

[BenKrug]

Hi, I want to implement a LoRa communication using the SMW-SX1263 module from Smart M. I found many examples using the SX1262 LoRa Chip, which is a component in this module, however they use SPI to communicate instead of UART and AT commands. I did not find anything about that, so currently I'm thinking I'll have to port my Arduino Library for this module over to NCS, which I wasn't expecting to have to do, but if there is something already it would be very good for me. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I was also not able to find anything relevant for you. You could try asking in the Zephyr Community, or you could just port your existing Arduino Code.

If you found usable pre-existing SPI drivers, You could also disconnect the onboard STM MCU from the module and connect the SX1262 directly to the nRF device over SPI. I'm guessing you're using an nRF52832.

Best regards,

Raoul

Disconnecting the STM MCU is not an option for me, I'd have to do that on 40 modules, that's very risky. But thank you anyway for answering.

I see, that's understandable. Have a nice day!
