Transmit and Receive with Interrupts
For the final revision of the “nasty” test harness I ensured interrupts were working for the simultaneous transmission and reception of messages. It’s not quite simultaneous, the code sends a message every 10 seconds then goes back to receive continuous mode after each message has been sent.
private void InterruptGpioPin_ValueChanged(GpioPin sender, GpioPinValueChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Edge != GpioPinEdge.RisingEdge)
{
return;
}
byte irqFlags = this.RegisterReadByte(0x12); // RegIrqFlags
Debug.WriteLine($"RegIrqFlags 0X{irqFlags:x2}");
if ((irqFlags & 0b01000000) == 0b01000000) // RxDone
{
Debug.WriteLine("Receive-Message");
byte currentFifoAddress = this.RegisterReadByte(0x10); // RegFifiRxCurrent
this.RegisterWriteByte(0x0d, currentFifoAddress); // RegFifoAddrPtr
byte numberOfBytes = this.RegisterReadByte(0x13); // RegRxNbBytes
// Allocate buffer for message
byte[] messageBytes = this.RegisterRead(0X0, numberOfBytes);
string messageText = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(messageBytes);
Debug.WriteLine($"Received {messageBytes.Length} byte message {messageText}");
}
if ((irqFlags & 0b00001000) == 0b00001000) // TxDone
{
this.RegisterWriteByte(0x01, 0b10000101); // RegOpMode set LoRa & RxContinuous
Debug.WriteLine("Transmit-Done");
}
this.RegisterWriteByte(0x40, 0b00000000); // RegDioMapping1 0b00000000 DI0 RxReady & TxReady
this.RegisterWriteByte(0x12, 0xff);// RegIrqFlags
}

string messageText = $"Hello LoRa {sendCount += 1}!";
// load the message into the fifo
byte[] messageBytes = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(messageText);
rfm9XDevice.RegisterWrite(0x0, messageBytes); // RegFifo
