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! 🤔

https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/lorawan#configure-lora-transceiver

#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

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

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

https://github.com/lupyuen/lora-sx1262/blob/master/src/sx126x-linux.c#L665-L687

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

https://github.com/lupyuen/lora-sx1262/blob/master/src/main.c#L74-L119

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

https://github.com/lupyuen/lora-sx1262#receive-message

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

https://github.com/lupyuen/lora-sx1262#receive-message

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 🎉
