Hello, following some time with the RN2483 LoRa PICtail/PICtail Plus Board with RN2483 on it), I am having problems communicating with the RN2483.
Have tried using both on-board USB-UART as well as external USB-FTDI device connected to header pins with same results.
Tried two different serial emulators on linux (minicom and gtkterm), with baud rate set to 57600, CR+LF, no flow control, and not managing to get RN2483 to respond to anything typed into the terminal.
However, am getting line printed when I hard reset (pull reset pin to gnd) of system version from module:
"RN2483 1.0.0 Oct 23 2015 14:46:12"
So it seems something is working.
Odd thing is using this python script I can see responses from module printed to serial and also see messages getting through to the gateway - so working as expected.
What I can't work out is: what is different between terminal emulators and python script? Am I missing some formatting thing, or otherwise?
As an aside - grasping at straws I did install the java-based Microchip update 'app' as described here and did (though somewhat flakily) manage to update the keys and use it to send a message.
So, two things work: the java-based GUI and python script. But not Linux terminal emulators.
Anybody got any ideas?
