I got one of these in hopes that I could set up another LoRa node to test the range of the LoRa RNode I've set up at home. (I should've just bought two LoRa32 boards instead..) I tried to configure reticulum on a spare raspi I had with reticulum-meshadv-mod (https://github.com/Andrew-a-g/reticulum-meshadv-mod), but I'm struggling to get it to transmit anything.. After trying a lot of guides I found (mainly "uninstall this python package, install this waveshare provided one, install the system-provided lgpio"), and changing things in the interface python file, I've managed to go from "tuple index out of range" to "CSMA gave up after 50 attempts, transmitting" and "TX failed with status 2" or sometimes status 1.... And I'm quite lost. Has anyone else with this board (https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/SX1262_XXXM_LoRaWAN/GNSS_HAT <- this thing, but mine is the model without GPS) gotten it working? FWIW, the demos they provided seem.... to work fine, but my RNode isn't lighting up when the HAT is supposed to transmit something (although I do not know if RNodes light up for any lora traffic - I did change it to transmit on the same freq and such), so maybe not.... Any help would be massively appreciated!! :)
Has anyone gotten the SX1262 868M "LoraWan/GNSS" HAT working with reticulum?

kc1awv (https://github.com/kc1awv) wrote SX1262SPIInterface.py, a native python interface for SPI-based SX1262 hats, it's a simple drop-in install in RNS /interfaces/. He had it posted at his rngit, but alas, I cannot currently find it for some reason. Maybe someone can point you in the right direction?
