Hi, I am using the LoRa Connect™ Development Kit, LR1121, LoRa 868MHz ISM Band for Europe and 2.4GHz ISM Band. I wanted to know is there possible to communicate with raspberry pi 5 Compute Module 5 IO board with Compute Module 5 added with pi-antenna. Also has anyone come across in experiment or testing the development kit if so how would you tackle it. I wanted to have LR1121 as transmitter and Raspberry pi 5 as Receiver. Hopefully i can find answers.
If you want to get the Compute Module 5 connecting with the LoRA range, you’re going to need to get a LoRA HAT. Something like the LoRa HAT/module such as the SX1262 LoRa HAT for Raspberry Pi (915MHz) , although please note the 915 MHz there. You will need something that matches European 868MHz Band. For your setup, I’d look for an EU868 LoRa eiver/HAT for the Pi rather than trying to use the included antenna.
So you are saying that Development Kit, LR1121, LoRa 868Mhz as a one kit is not enough to operate to code or install drivers in raspberry pi 5 OS (Debian). I manage to get it working only windows to program using keil uvision5 or the STM32cube software.
I mean if you connect the Development Board to the Pi you might be able to get it working with the Pi 5. It’s not really a Raspberry Pi add-on board, but I’m sure you could theoretically get it working with a lot of prototyping, troubleshooting, and elbow grease.
From your original post though, I was going off the assumption that you wanted the Pi 5 with its antenna as a receiver kit with the L11221 as the transmitter, as in:
LoRa Kit - - - - wireless- - - - - Pi 5 Receiver
Which would be impossible without some additional LoRa equipment to connect to the Pi.
If you actually mean to have the LoRa Kit physically connected to the Pi 5 with the LoRa Kit as the Transmitter and the Pi 5 as the receiver like so:
