Setup

Sending Code

#include <SPI.h>
#include <LoRa.h>

int counter = 0;
int LED = 12;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
//   while (!Serial);

  Serial.println("LoRa Sender");

  LoRa.setTxPower(20);
  if (!LoRa.begin(433E6)) {
    Serial.println("Starting LoRa failed!");
    while (1);
  }
  
  LoRa.setTxPower(20);
  LoRa.setSpreadingFactor(12);
  LoRa.setSignalBandwidth(62.5E3);
  LoRa.setCodingRate4(8);
  
}

void loop() { 
    // Serial.print("Sending packet: ");
  digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
  Serial.print("Sending packet: ");
  Serial.println(counter);
  
  // send packet
  LoRa.beginPacket();
  LoRa.print("Hi Jemima! ");
  LoRa.print(counter);
