my thoughts and notes for and from life.

Doomsday messenger - 1

Ok so the LoRa chip should have headers on it, otherwise you'll have to solder them... now its a pretty weird chip, its not meant for breadboard prototyping

so breadboards have a pitch of 2.54 mm and this has a pitch of 2 mm so it wont fit... you gotta solder the headers and then solder some wires so that you can use it... (had to learn soldering and it took a while)

the connections to make for reference

thanks to this project page that helped me so much

now for the initial coding part, i'm writing this in arduino since tinygo doesn't support wifi and the rfm library is very old... so there's this library called LoRa by Sandeep Mistry and it does the job great...
