Hi

Mine were bought cheap... So quality would be questionable.

It didn't have an antenna coil, you had to use a length of wire.

I am not condemning all of them, just that the ones I had were way too much trouble for what they offered. For little more I could get reasonable LoRa modules that ...

Hi

It was a few years back I played with the units and what Martin writes sounds familiar.

I needed to use a long preamble and you do need to know exactly how your data will be transmitted so you know how to decode it (e.g. each bit will have a width of x-mS or such like). Best to use a slow rate ...

Hi Jorgen

They look similar those cheap (really cheap) modules available from all the usual places and if so, they are truly terrible. They may not be the same though so I'm not going to put you off.

The ones I looked at a few years back were probably OK-ish for simple On/Off over short distances ...

Hi

You mentioned issues with your breadboard but personally I have found far, far more issues with jumpers.

Many you get "free" are a complete liability as the quality is non existent. The pins are close, but not exactly the dimensions to ensure reliable connection.

A couple of years ago I went ...

Hi Steve

I think this is a very cool addition and look forward to trying it out.

Hi Steve / Stefan

Very interesting posts.

Keen to hear more on how you get on as I think this will be a great component once released.

Hi

I can get quite into the RPi family but then my attention is forced away, more so if travelling but I can still write / simulate in Flowcode so things aren't too bad.

I bought a micro-windows machine, about three inches square in size, years ago and have never found a use for it. It runs W10 ...

Hi Ben

So as you are using an RPi can we please, please have support for Pico 2W?

An interface for automatic lights would be a nice next step.
How are you controlling your "smart" lights.

I'm not actually doing anything yet, but having a sensor network already in place is a good start..... so I ...

Haha

I can so relate to lights going off at inappropriate times with no way of moving into range

Much prefer alarm PIR to microwave detectors but each have their uses and strengths.

Band just starting so....

Hi Martin

I do remember you posting about them and they do look to be very useful. If I were doing this from scratch they would certainly be a consideration if I was prepared to run cables to power them or create a case with batteries to change / recharge etc.

Being inherently lazy when it comes ...
