# Set the new configuration on the LoRa module and print the updated configuration to the console
code, confSetted = lora.set_configuration(configuration_to_set)
I create a CONSTANTS class for each parameter, here a list: AirDataRate, UARTBaudRate, UARTParity, TransmissionPower, ForwardErrorCorrectionSwitch, WirelessWakeUpTime, IODriveMode, FixedTransmission
Send string message
Here an example of send data, you can pass a string
lora.send_transparent_message('pippo')
lora.send_fixed_message(0, 2, 23, 'pippo')
Here the receiver code
while True:
if lora.available() > 0:
code, value = lora.receive_message()
print(ResponseStatusCode.get_description(code))
print(value)
time.sleep(2)
If you want receive RSSI also you must enable it in the configuration
configuration_to_set.TRANSMISSION_MODE.enableRSSI = RssiEnableByte.RSSI_ENABLED
and set the flag to True in the receive_message method
code, value, rssi = lora.receive_message(True)
Result
Success!
pippo

Here the receiver code
while True:
if lora.available() > 0:
code, value = lora.receive_dict()
print(ResponseStatusCode.get_description(code))
print(value)
print(value['pippo'])
time.sleep(2)
if you want receive RSSI also you must enable it in the configuration
configuration_to_set.TRANSMISSION_MODE.enableRSSI = RssiEnableByte.RSSI_ENABLED
and set the flag to True in the receive_dict method

Pinout
E22
Pin No. | Pin item | Pin direction | Pin application |
---|---|---|---|
1 | M0 | Input(weak pull-up) | Work with M1 & decide the four operating modes.Floating is not allowed, can be ground. |
2 | M1 | Input(weak pull-up) | Work with M0 & decide the four operating modes.Floating is not allowed, can be ground. |
3 | RXD | Input | TTL UART inputs, connects to external (MCU, PC) TXD outputpin. Can be configured as open-drain or pull-up input. |
4 | TXD | Output | TTL UART outputs, connects to external RXD (MCU, PC) inputpin. Can be configured as open-drain or push-pull output |
5 | AUX | Output | Per indicare lo stato di funzionamento del modulo e riattivare l’MCU esterno. Durante la procedura di inizializzazione di autocontrollo, il pin emette una bassa tensione. Può essere configurato come uscita open-drain o output push-pull (è consentito non metterlo a terra, ma se hai problemi, ad esempio ti si freeze il dispositivo è preferibile mettere una restistenza di pull-up da 4.7k o meglio collegarlo al dispositivo). |
6 | VCC | Power supply 2.3V~5.5V DC | |
7 | GND | Ground |
As you can see you can set various modes via M0 and M1 pins.
Mode | M1 | M0 | Explanation |
---|---|---|---|
Normal | 0 | 0 | UART and wireless channel are open, transparent transmission is on (Supports configuration over air via special command) |
WOR Mode | 0 | 1 | Can be defined as WOR transmitter and WOR receiver |
Configuration mode | 1 | 0 | Users can access the register through the serial port to control the working state of the module |
Deep sleep mode | 1 | 1 | Sleep mode |
As you can see there are some pins that can be use in a static way, but If you connect It to the library you gain in performance and you can control all mode via software, but we are going to explain better next.

SPED detail
UART Parity bit: UART mode can be different between communication parties
4 | 3 | UART parity bit | Constant value |
0 | 0 | 8N1 (default) | MODE_00_8N1 |
0 | 1 | 8O1 | MODE_01_8O1 |
1 | 0 | 8 E1 | MODE_10_8E1 |
1 | 1 | 8N1 (equal to 00) | MODE_11_8N1 |
UART baud rate: UART baud rate can be different between communication parties, The UART baud rate has nothing to do with wireless transmission parameters & won’t affect the wireless transmit / receive features.
7 | 6 | 5 | TTL UART baud rate(bps) | Constant value |
0 | 0 | 0 | 1200 | UART_BPS_1200 |
0 | 0 | 1 | 2400 | UART_BPS_2400 |
0 | 1 | 0 | 4800 | UART_BPS_4800 |
0 | 1 | 1 | 9600 (default) | UART_BPS_9600 |
1 | 0 | 0 | 19200 | UART_BPS_19200 |

1 | 1 | 0 | 57600 | UART_BPS_57600 |
1 | 1 | 1 | 115200 | UART_BPS_115200 |
Air data rate: The lower the air data rate, the longer the transmitting distance, better anti- interference performance and longer transmitting time, The air data rate must keep the same for both communication parties.

0 | 0 | 0 | 0.3k | AIR_DATA_RATE_000_03 |
0 | 0 | 1 | 1.2k | AIR_DATA_RATE_001_12 |

1 | 1 | 1 | 62.5k | AIR_DATA_RATE_111_625 |
OPTION detail
####Sub packet setting
This is the max lenght of the packet.
When the data is smaller than the sub packet length, the serial output of the receiving end is an uninterrupted continuous output. When the data is larger than the sub packet length, the receiving end serial port will output the sub packet.
7 | 6 | Packet size | Constant value |
0 | 0 | 240bytes (default) | SPS_240_00 |
0 | 1 | 128bytes | SPS_128_01 |
1 | 0 | 64bytes | SPS_064_10 |
1 | 1 | 32bytes | SPS_032_11 |
####RSSI Ambient noise enable
This command can enable/disable the management type of RSSI, It’s important to manage the remote configuration, pay attention isn’t the RSSI parameter in the message.
When enabled, the C0 C1 C2 C3 command can be sent in the transmitting mode or WOR transmitting mode to read the register. Register 0x00: Current ambient noise rssi Register 0X01: rssi when the data was received last time.
5 | RSSI Ambient noise enable | Constant value |
0 | Enable | RSSI_AMBIENT_NOISE_ENABLED |
1 | Disable (default) | RSSI_AMBIENT_NOISE_DISABLED |
TRANSMISSION_MODE Detail
####Enable RSSI
When enabled, the module receives wireless data and it will follow an RSSI strength byte after output via the serial port TXD
####Transmission type
Transmission mode: in fixed transmission mode, the first three bytes of each user’s data frame can be used as high/low address and channel. The module changes its address and channel when transmit. And it will revert to original setting after complete the process.
####Enable repeater function
####Monitor data before transmission
When enabled, wireless data will be monitored before it is transmitted, which can avoid interference to a certain extent, but may cause data delay.
####WOR
WOR transmitter: the module receiving and transmitting functions are turned on, and a wake-up code is added when transmitting data. Receiving is turned on.
WOR receiver: the module is unable to transmit data and works in WOR monitoring mode. The monitoring period is as follows (WOR cycle), which can save a lot of power.
####WOR cycle
If WOR is transmitting: after the WOR receiver receives the wireless data and outputs it through the serial port, it will wait for 1000ms before entering the WOR again. Users can input the serial port data and return it via the wireless during this period. Each serial byte will be refreshed for 1000ms. Users must transmit the first byte within 1000ms.
- Period T = (1 + WOR) * 500ms, maximum 4000ms, minimum 500ms
- The longer the WOR monitoring interval period, the lower the average power consumption, but the greater the data delay
- Both the transmitter and the receiver must be the same (very important).
Send receive message
First we must introduce a simple but usefully method to check if something is in the receiving buffer
int available();
It’s simply return how many bytes you have in the current stream.
Normal transmission mode
Normal/Transparent transmission mode is used to send messages to all device with same address and channel.
LoRa E22 transmitting scenarios, lines are channels
Fixed transmission have more scenarios
LoRa E22 transmitting scenarios, lines are channels

Now you have all information to do your work, but I think It’s important to show some realistic examples to undestand better all the possibility.
