Here how to wire the RFM69 module to the Raspberry-Pi Pico.
    +
[[Fichier:ENG-CANSAT-PICO-RFM69HCW-to-Pico.jpg|640px]]

Here is the description of wiring between the Pico and the RFM69 module.

== Download the code ==
 +
The code is available for download on the [https://github.com/mchobby/cansat-belgium-micropython GitHub associated to this wiki].
 +
 +
{{download-box|Téléchargez Mission1 Base Station Receiver script (basestation.py)|https://github.com/mchobby/cansat-belgium-micropython/blob/main/mission1/basestation.py}}
 +
 +
== About testing ==
 +
 +
Once the script {{fname|basestation.py}} renamed as {{fname|main.py}} and uploaded to the board, just restart the board to make it running.
 +
 +
{{ambox|text=It also possible to start the script from REPL with the instruction {{fname|import basestation}} }}
 +
 +
The data can be view onto the REPL/Shell session by using Thonny, Putty, MPRemote, cat (under Linux).
 +
 +
You should see the following messages appearing in the REPL.
 +
 +
Notes:
 +
* onboard LED flashing when a data packet is received.
 +
* a point '.' is displayed in the output when receiver get a timeout.
 +
 +

{{ambox-stop|text=The tmp36 values are not consistent because the sensor wasn't attached to the board!}}
 +
 +
Where we could see the received messages with additional information.
 +
 +
<nowiki>[DATA](len=<data_len>,RSSI=<radio_rssi>)<transmitted_data>
 +
[MSG] <transmitted_message></nowiki>
 +
 +
* Each data received and send over the serial connection are prefixed with '''[DATA]''' .
 +
* The prefix is followed by information enclosed between parenthesis '''()''', this concerns the ''received data''.<br />Entries are key=value pairs separated by coma.
 +
* At the end, we retrieve the transmitted data (under their binary content).
 +
* The binary data are decoded to utf8 strings and prefixed with '''[MSG]''' in the output.
 +
 +
In the informations:
 +
* '''data_len''': length of the binary data stream received.
 +
* '''RSSI''': indicated the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_signal_strength_indication strength of the signal] (-15 at best, -90 at worst).
 +
* '''transmitted_data''': the data as transmitted by the emitter under the binary format.
 +
* '''transmitted_message''': the binary data decoded back to a string. As designed in the emitter, it starts with ''':''' and ends with ''';'''
 +
 +
In the '''transmitted_data''', we can identify:
 +
* The packet counter
 +
* The time counter (seconds)
 +
* The atmospheric pressure (from bmp280)
 +
* The temperature (from tmp36, analog)
 +
* The temperature2 (from bmp280)
 +
 +
== Extra ==
 +
=== Use 'cat' utility ===
 +
If by any changes you do have a '''Linux''' computer, a '''Raspberry-Pi''' or an '''Apple''' computer then you can easily capture the serial data with the {{fname|cat}} command line utility.
 +
 +
Before using {{fname|cat}}, we do need to identifies the computer device attached to the USB-Serial connection.
 +
 +
The {{fname|dmesg}} command line tools inspecting kernel messages can greatly helps to identify the device name.
 +
 +
In the following capture, it is possible to identify the newly plugged USB device as '''ttyACM1''' (so /dev/ttyACM1)
 +
 +
[[Fichier:ENG-CANSAT-PICO-MISSION1-RECEIVE-20.png]]
 +
 +
Now, we can use the following command line to capture the message on de device.
 +
 +
<nowiki>cat /dev/ttyACM1</nowiki>
 +
 +
and viewing the Base Station messages appearing on the screen.
 +
 +
[[Fichier:ENG-CANSAT-PICO-MISSION1-RECEIVE-21.png]]
 +
 +
=== Logging data to file ===
 +
Linux operating system (and alike) allows the user to easily and quickly redirect output (like output of {{fname|cat /dev/ttyACM1}}) to a file.
 +
 +
Key-in the following command:
 +
 +
<nowiki>cat /dev/ttyACM1 > log.txt</nowiki>
 +
 +
will instantly redirect everything coming from {{fname|/dev/ttyACM1}} to the file {{fname|log.txt}} .
 +
 +
Press CTRL+C to stop 'cat' and the redirection. The file 'log.txt' is now fully available for data treatment.
 +
 +
A [https://github.com/mchobby/cansat-belgium-micropython/blob/main/mission1/cansat2.py log.txt sample] is available from the GitHub repository.
