Problem in Running SX1281 Semtech lora IC with Stm32 UART protocol

[mettiblack72]

hello,
I'm trying to run sx1281 lora ic from semtech with stm32 by uart protocol
1- at the first I reset hardware by reset pin and then
2- send getstatus() command to get mode of ic , for this command I examine BUSY pin to be Low after that I transmit getstatus() command, ic response me STDBY_RC mode and it's ok
3- depends on datasheet then I should to setpackettype(), when I send setpackettype() command or any SET command, voltage of BUSY pin goes to high and remain high!! and I can't send another commands!! I expect after set command busy pin goes to low voltage

please help

Hi,

Are you sure the power supply is stable .. down to high nanoseconds?

All other IO are at the expected level .. and stable?

You are driving with the correct signal levels?

thanks for reply, yes I monitor power supply It's ok and stable
for power supply I use LDO option , and I don't place inductor 15uH to use DC-DC convertor , should I set any config for LDO or not ?

I doubt about RTSN and CTS pins, I pulldown RTSN pin and CTS pin is float

I send opcode and length and parameter with HAL_UART_Transmit() function

which IOs should I monitor value ?

Hi,

for more detailed analysis and assistence we need to see your schematic and PCB layout.

RSTN and CTS: We don´t see your code, thus we don´t see their config.

which IOs should I monitor value ?

EVERY IO needs to be within the expected values/signals.

Dear I attached STM32_SX1281 .h and .c files and Schematic
I don't solder C13, C14, R1, R5, R6, R7, L3

dear I attached files ... can you help me ?
thanks a lot

Hi,

I see a .rar file .. this is an compress file I can´t open on my old tablet. Maybe later when I´m on my PC.

Why don´t you upload code using the [ C O D E ] button and pictures using the [ I N S E R T I M A G E] button?

Klaus

Hi,

now at post#9 .. almost a week is gone... eventually there is the code.
Still I´m having difficulties in reading the text in the schematic.
I guess I will stop here.

Good luck..

Hello dear, Really excuse me for my delay, I had cold & cough
I switched to SPI protocol and it's work
thanks a lot
