RoboCore SMW-SX1262M0 Library (Python)

Python library for the RoboCore LoRaWAN HAT using the SMW-SX1262M0 LoRaWAN transceiver.

Installation

To install the library using PIP, just use the command below.

pip3 install RoboCore_SMW-SX1262M0

Note: this installation does not include examples.

Usage

The LoRaWAN HAT uses GPIO 14 and 15 for communicating over the UART with the Raspberry Pi. This means that the UART port of the RPi must be previously enabled, and the serial console must be disabled.

Port to use on different models

• RPi 3 B+: /dev/serial0 or /dev/ttyS0.
• RPi 4: /dev/serial0 or /dev/ttyS0.
• RPi 5: /dev/ttyAMA0. ** On the RPi 5, the serial console uses a dedicated UART.
