Issue: Quick way to determine if 2287 is working?
Setup: RPI4, RAK Hat, RAK2287 minipci module (SPI)
Server: n/a
Details:
Hi, is there a simple way to send commands to the RAK2287 via SPI etc (i.e. python scrypt etc) to simply test if it is working?
I had some equipment get hit with a surge but the 2287 looks OK. If I connect it to a new RPI, I need to know how to verify whether it still works or not, without needing to go through all the work of installing the full rak_common_for_gateway etc. This would also be helpful when testing new hardware (such as the Libre series of rpi clones) to ensure ports/pins are configured properly before installing all the software for the concentrator.
I assume the bare minimum would be to 1) send/receive from serial port to test GPS and 2) send/receive some bytes via SPI and look for some sort of response from the concentrator?
More broadly, it would be awesome to have a similar script (python, bash, etc) that would work for any of the developer concentrators to test its functionality (i.e. connected properly, working). A command like rak_test.sh --model RAK2287 --reset_pin 17 --serial /dev/ttyS0 would be awesome.
Would appreciate any pointers in this direction. Thank you.
