Range-Pi is a low cost portable “Plug and Play LoRaTM Dongle” based on Raspberry Pi RP2040 and LoRaTM Modules, comes with an onboard 1.14" LCD that covers 433/868/915 MHz frequency band to enable data transmission up to 5 KM.

• Two push button
  • Button A (Connect to GP13)
  • Button B (Connect to GP14)
• Two GP Pins ( for input/output devices )
  • GP4
  • GP5
• UART Interface Direct to LORA Module

Use thonny python IDE for programming,link of the software is given below :

https://thonny.org/

Step 1 - Open thonny

Step 2 - Select micropython and port in thonny for this go to run-> select interpreter

Step 3 - Save python file to RangePi

Step 4 - Run(execute) and stop file (script)

• The firmware includes frozen python font files and pre-compiled objects with the st7789 C driver for a variety of devices.

• The driver's library is provided as a single firmware.uf2 file, which is accessible here: https://github.com/russhughes/st7789_mpy/tree/master/firmware/RP2

• Holding down the RangePi BOTSEL button while dragging this file into the mounted RP2 folder will allow you to load it.

• Receiver

  • rangepi_receiver.py - Run this file if you make RangePi as receiver ( in all case receiver is same )

• Transmitter

  • rangepi_transmitter.py - Run this file if you make RangePi as transmitter

  • user_input_transmitter.py - Run this file if you make RangePi as transmitter or you can transmit using window applications like XCTU, Tera Term etc.

  • messenger.py - Run this file if you want to talk through message like messenger(run the file in both rangepi)

• rangepi_configuration.py - Rename this file as main.py and save this file inside RangePi and go to below video link to configure your RangePi board.
