Hi John, I am having a lot of difficulty getting these to work. I have had some success sending from the RPi 4 and none at all from one Arduino to the other. Is there any way to check whether an mLink LoRa is working? If it’s convenient to do, the easiest way to test them is to run the mLink_LongRea...

Thanks for pointing that out, I've now pushed an update to pypi (V1.5.1).

One possible option, if you don't need to know what state they are in at start-up, you could set the default servo output state at start-up to off. This assumes that your servos will stay in the same position when power is applied to them. Another thing to consider is a DS1302 RTC which has a small ...

Reading the Tech Spec it appears to me that the position of the servo can be stored. Is there an issue with doing this repetitively? The servo positions are only ever saved when you run the mLink.servo_Save_State() function. The current values are then stored in the microcontroller's EEPROM memory ...

Ok, so I've fixed it again but this time with my brain switched on. I've re-uploaded it under that same version number - thanks again.

Hi Chris, thanks for pointing it out. It does indeed look like a cut and paste error. I've just uploaded a corrected version (V1.1.1) of the guide that (hopefully) corrects it.

@proxymowdev I have checked the supply and it is healthy, and I can reproduce the same results using the header pins. I am curious about the reset/clear function pins. I remember reading about it somewhere, but can't find the reference now. It implies there is some configuration in nv memory that ca...

@Mark M i have the similar issue, i can turn on the relay but have issues trying to turn off: *using i2c via Rpi Gpio script: #!/bin/sh from mLink import mLink # Import the mLink module ml = mLink.mLink(1) # Create an instance using the Pis I2C port 1 ml.Relay0_off(0x52) # Turns relay 0 off When scr...

Each relay can still be turned on, but neither will turn off without killing the power. It is definitely a problem with the module because I swapped my two over, and the other one is working fine. Has anyone come across any similar issues. I can’t explain why you would be able to turn the relay on ...

Hi Phillip, your sketch is still missing the line that sets the value (rd) variable back to 255: void loop() { delay(50); if (rd != 255) { switch(rd) { case 1: delay(500); digitalWrite(Relay_1, N_OPEN); delay(500); digitalWrite(Relay_1, N_CLOSED); break; case 2: delay(500); digitalWrite(Relay_2, N_O...
