LoRaReceiver.ino example question

d00m178 · October 13, 2023, 9:34am

Im testing two boards - AB01 with LoRaSender.ino and AB02 with LoRaReceiver.ino
Both works ok with provided code from these examples.

But if I disable checking value of lora_idle var in the LoRaReceiver.ino (just comment lines numbers 77, 78 and 83)

github.com

HelTecAutomation/CubeCell-Arduino/blob/master/libraries/LoRa/examples/LoRaBasic/LoRaReceiver/LoRaReceiver.ino#L77


                                   LORA_CODINGRATE, 0, LORA_PREAMBLE_LENGTH,

                                   LORA_SYMBOL_TIMEOUT, LORA_FIX_LENGTH_PAYLOAD_ON,

                                   0, true, 0, 0, LORA_IQ_INVERSION_ON, true );



   }







void loop()

{

  if(lora_idle)

  {

  	turnOffRGB();

    lora_idle = false;

    Serial.println("into RX mode");

    Radio.Rx(0);

  }

}



void OnRxDone( uint8_t *payload, uint16_t size, int16_t rssi, int8_t snr )

{

after this edit the receiver board will receive about 10 packets from sender board and then it will stuck and will not receive anything new packets.
can somebody please explain - why?

it seems because of overloading loop {} cycle…
but I want to understand how and why it will overload and how it can be fixed without adding this condition check which is just lead to lower speed of receiver board…
