# LoRa API
|
||||
|
||||
## Include Library
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
#include <LoRa.h>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Begin
|
||||
|
||||
Initialize the library with the specified frequency.
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
LoRa.begin(frequency);
|
||||
```
|
||||
* `frequency` - frequency in Hz (`433E6`, `866E6`, `915E6`)
|
||||
|
||||
Returns `1` on success, `0` on failure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Set pins
|
||||
|
||||
Override the default `NSS` and `NRESET` pins used by the library. **Must** be called before `LoRa.begin()`.
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
LoRa.setPins(ss, reset);
|
||||
```
|
||||
* `ss` new slave select pin to use, defaults to `10`
|
||||
* `reset` new reset pin to use, defaults to `9`
|
||||
|
||||
### End
|
||||
|
||||
Stop the library
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
LoRa.end()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Sending data
|
||||
|
||||
### Begin packet
|
||||
|
||||
Start the sequence of sending a packet.
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
LoRa.beginPacket();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns `1` on success, `0` on failure.
|
||||
|
||||
### Writing
|
||||
|
||||
Write data to the packet. Each packet can contain up to 255 bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
LoRa.write(byte);
|
||||
|
||||
LoRa.write(buffer, length);
|
||||
```
|
||||
* `byte` single byte to write to packet
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
* `buffer` data to write to packet
|
||||
* `length` size of data to write
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the number of bytes written.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Other Arduino `Print` API's can also be used to write data into the packet
|
||||
|
||||
### End packet
|
||||
|
||||
End the sequence of sending a packet.
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
LoRa.endPacket()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns `1` on success, `0` on failure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Receiving data
|
||||
|
||||
### Parsing packet
|
||||
|
||||
Check if a packet has been received.
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
int packetSize = LoRa.parsePacket();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the packet size or `0` if no packet was received.
|
||||
|
||||
### Packet RSSI
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
int rssi = LoRa.packetRSSI();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the RSSI of the received packet.
|
||||
|
||||
### Available
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
int availableBytes = LoRa.available()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns number of bytes available for reading.
|
||||
|
||||
### Peeking
|
||||
|
||||
Peek at the next byte in the packet.
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
byte b = LoRa.peek();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the next byte in the packet or `-1` if no bytes available.
|
||||
|
||||
### Reading
|
||||
|
||||
Read the next byte from the packet.
|
||||
|
||||
```arduino
|
||||
byte b = LoRa.read();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the next byte in the packet or `-1` if no bytes available.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Other Arduino [`Stream` API's](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Stream) can also be used to read data from the packet
