We now have a Linux Driver for #PineDio #LoRa USB Dongle @PINE64 ... That can transmit 29-byte messages and receive 28-byte messages ... Tested on Pinebook Pro Manjaro Arm64 🎉

https://github.com/lupyuen/lora-sx1262

Why does #PineDio USB Dongle receive 28-byte #LoRa Messages ... But not longer messages? Because CH341 can only transfer up to 31 bytes of SPI data ... And we need 3 bytes for the SX1262 Command Header

#PineDio USB Dongle @PINE64 successfully receives 28-byte #LoRa Message ... From RAKwireless WisBlock! 🎉

#PineDio USB Dongle shall now receive a #LoRa Message ... From RAKwireless WisBlock

CH341 doesn't seem to support 32-byte SPI Transfers ... Hope this fixes @JF's #PineDio #LoRa USB Dongle! 👍

Aha! When #PineDio Dongle sends a 29-byte #LoRa Packet to RAKwireless WisBlock ... It's received OK! Anything more will be garbled 🤔

https://github.com/lupyuen/lora-sx1262#wisblock-receiver-log

#PineDio Dongle sends a 64-byte #LoRa Packet ... But the 64-byte Packet doesn't appear in the dmesg Log for CH341 SPI Driver 🤔

https://github.com/lupyuen/lora-sx1262#pinedio-usb-dmesg-log

But #LoRa Messages sent by #PineDio Stack BL604 to RAKwireless WisBlock are not garbled ... Even though PineDio Stack and PineDio Dongle are running the same SX1262 Driver Code! 🤔

#PineDio USB Dongle sends #LoRa Packet to RAKwireless WisBlock ... But received packet is consistently garbled ... As reported by @JF 🤔

I haven't figured how to control GPIO with CH341, so here are 2 Quick Hacks: 1️⃣ Need to reset #PineDio Dongle? Just unplug it ... 2️⃣ Checking for busy state? Just wait 10 millisecs between SX1262 requests

#PineDio USB Dongle @PINE64 transmits a #LoRa Packet ... Which appears as a LoRa Chirp on Airspy SDR! 🎉

Let's transmit a #LoRa Message on #PineDio USB Dongle with these settings ... Connected to Pinebook Pro

Oops just discovered that the new Semtech Reference Driver doesn't support LoRaWAN ... So we switched to the older #LoRa SX1262 Driver ... Exact same driver used by BL602!
