CircuitPython library for RFM69 packet radio.

Project description

Introduction

Documentation Status Discord Build Status

CircuitPython RFM69 packet radio module. This supports basic RadioHead-compatible sending and receiving of packets with RFM69 series radios (433/915Mhz).

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-rfm69

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-rfm69

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-rfm69

Usage Example

See examples/rfm69_simpletest.py for a simple demo of the usage. Note: the default baudrate for the SPI is 2000000 (2MHz). The maximum setting is 10Mhz but transmission errors have been observed expecially when using breakout boards. For breakout boards or other configurations where the boards are separated, it may be necessary to reduce the baudrate for reliable data transmission. The baud rate may be specified as an keyword parameter when initializing the board. To set it to 1000000 use :

# Initialze RFM radio
rfm9x = adafruit_rfm9x.RFM9x(spi, CS, RESET, RADIO_FREQ_MHZ,baudrate=1000000)
