Unstable Behavior in EBYTE E220-400M22S Setup with ATTINY804 #15

krishank652 · 2024-02-06T16:35:38Z

I am seeking assistance in the library GitHub to address an issue I'm encountering.

My challenge involves establishing communication between the Ebyte LoRa E220-400M22S and the MCU ATTINY804 IC. Below is the code snippet I'm utilizing:

  }

  // Do not wait for the transmission to be completed

  delay(1000);
}

I used above code from the library Example: example/Ra01S-TX/Ra01S-TX.ino and changes are done by me :

Uncomment the 433MHz Line and Comment the 915MHz line.

#define RF_FREQUENCY                                433000000 // Hz  center frequency
//#define RF_FREQUENCY                                866000000 // Hz  center frequency
//#define RF_FREQUENCY                                915000000 // Hz  center frequency

Updated below as per my connections I am using ATTINY804 connections details are in the below.

#if 1

SX126x  lora(0,               //Port-Pin Output: SPI select
             1,               //Port-Pin Output: Reset 
             2                //Port-Pin Input:  Busy
             );
#endif // ATmega328/2560

#if 0

SX126x  lora(0,                 //Port-Pin Output: SPI select
             1,                 //Port-Pin Output: Reset 
             2                 //Port-Pin Input:  Busy
             );
#endif // ESP8266

Below Line for serial monitor
Serial.begin(9600);
Uncomment below line for debugging.
lora.DebugPrint(true);
As per instruction given on the library page I am using Ebyte module So I updated below code:

/*
 int16_t ret = lora.begin(RF_FREQUENCY,              //frequency in Hz
                          TX_OUTPUT_POWER);          //tx power in dBm
*/

// UPDATED BELOW CODE AS PER INSTRUCTION ON LIBRARY PAGE

 int16_t ret = lora.begin(RF_FREQUENCY,              //frequency in Hz
                          TX_OUTPUT_POWER,           //tx power in dBm
                          3.3,                       //use TCXO
                          true);                     //use TCXO

During the initial startup, the Serial Monitor output is as follows:

21:25:27.203 -> begin
21:25:27.203 -> debugPrint=1
21:25:27.203 -> SX126x_SPI_SELECT=0
21:25:27.250 -> SX126x_RESET=1
21:25:27.250 -> SX126
21:25:27.250 -> 
21:25:27.250 -> 
21:25:28.187 -> ut: 7-->A2 0-->A2 1-->A2 40-->A2 
21:25:28.234 -> WriteCommand:  CMD=0x89  DatD
21:25:28.282 -> 
21:25:28.282 -> 
21:25:29.219 -> =0x8  DataOut: 3-->A2 FF-->A2 0-->A2 0-->A2 0-->A2 0-->A2 0-->A
21:25:29.266 -> 
21:25:29.266 ->

However, subsequent startups after a power restore yield different results, suggesting an inconsistency issue:

21:26:56.403 -> ⸮
21:26:56.403 -> 
21:26:56.403 -> 
21:26:57.402 -> begin
21:26:57.402 -> debugPrint=1
21:26:57.449 -> SX126x_SPI_SELECT=0
21:26:57.449 -> SX126x_RESET=1
21:26:57.496 -> SX126
21:26:57.496 -> 
21:26:57.496 -> 
21:26:58.402 -> 0x1424
21:26:58.449 -> SX126x installed
21:26:58.449 -> WriteCommand:  CMD=0x80  DataOut: 0--
21:26:58.496 -> 
21:26:58.496 ->

These inconsistencies occur with subsequent startups, implying a problem with the setup.

The connections between ATTINY804 and E220-400M22S are as follows:

SCK <> SCK
MOSI <> MOSI
MISO <> MISO
0 <> NSS
1 <> NRST
2 <> BUSY

For power supply, I'm using the AMS1117 3.3V Power Supply Module, drawing input from Arduino 5V and GND, then supplying it to the circuit via the AMS1117 3.3V Power supply.

For ATTINY804 programming, I'm utilizing the megaTinyCore Library and referring to the ATTINY804 pinout details.

I'm reaching out to the library developer and the community for assistance in resolving this issue. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

It looks like Serial.print is not working correctly.

It looks like Serial.print is not working correctly.

Thanks for the reply.
For this what I need to do? Is I need to change baud rate or anything other things?

nopnop2002 · 2024-02-07T05:58:10Z

I've never used ATTINY804, so I don't know.

This is not directly related to the problem, but why would you want to use ATTINY804?

I've never used ATTINY804, so I don't know.

This is not directly related to the problem, but why would you want to use ATTINY804?

I am building a wirless water level indicator device, and want to use AA type battery in transmitter device, I choosen ATTINY804 MCU because its power consumption is low, also I am able to program it.

I tried with Arduino UNO But still facing problem.

Thank you for the report.

There were missing changes when using the EBYTE module.

If you use the EBYTE module, the following changes are required.

I've updated the sample sketch.

/*
SX126x  lora(5,               //Port-Pin Output: SPI select
             6,               //Port-Pin Output: Reset 
             7                //Port-Pin Input:  Busy
             );

int16_t ret = lora.begin(RF_FREQUENCY,              //frequency in Hz
                         TX_OUTPUT_POWER);          //tx power in dBm
*/

SX126x  lora(5,               //Port-Pin Output: SPI select
             6,               //Port-Pin Output: Reset 
             7                //Port-Pin Input:  Busy
             8                //Port-Pin Output: TXEN
             9                //Port-Pin Output: RXEN
             );

int16_t ret = lora.begin(RF_FREQUENCY,              //frequency in Hz
                         TX_OUTPUT_POWER,           //tx power in dBm
                         3.3,                       //use TCXO
                         true);                     //use TCXO

Two additional wires are required.

EBYTE		UNO	MEGA	ESP8266
TXEN	--	8(*3)	8(*3)	D4
RXEN	--	9(*3)	9(*3)	D5

(*3)
SX126x is not 5V tolerant.
You need level shift from 5V to 3.3V.

I had the same error on E220-900M22S(LLCC68)
I do not know the cause

This is E22-900M22S(SX1262) logging.
As far as I know, SX1262 and LLCC68 are compatible.
