Parameters
rxPeriodThe duration the receiver will be in Rx mode, in microseconds.
sleepPeriodThe duration the receiver will not be in Rx mode, in microseconds.
Returns

◆ startReceiveDutyCycleAuto()

int16_t SX126x::startReceiveDutyCycleAuto ( uint16_t  senderPreambleLength = 0,

Parameters
senderPreambleLengthExpected preamble length of the messages to receive. If set to zero, the currently configured preamble length will be used. Defaults to zero.
minSymbolsParameters will be chosen to ensure that the unit will catch at least this many symbols of any preamble of the specified length. Defaults to 8. According to Semtech, receiver requires 8 symbols to reliably latch a preamble. This makes this method redundant when transmitter preamble length is less than 17 (2*minSymbols + 1).
