SX1278 and ESP32 based POCSAG receiver

Features

  • uses Semtech SX1278 as FSK receiver
  • also works with Semtech SX1276
  • receives 1200 bps, 4500 Hz shift POCSAG messages
  • serial console logging of received messages
  • works with direct connected ESP32 (see pin description below)
  • also works with HELTEC SX1278 based LoRa module
    • activate the HeltecLoRaV2 define statement in SX1278POCSAG.ino to use this module
  • serial console Command Line Interface for configuration and debugging
  • telnet server Command Line Interface for configuration and debugging
  • 3 levels of debugging
  • write/read configuration to/from flash
  • german BOS mode and DAU filter
  • german ASCII codes
  • decoding of ROT1 encoded messages
  • wlan based https gateway to forwarding the messages
  • error correction by BCH decoding

Receiver Configuration

  • center frequency in MHz and Rx error offset frequency in kHz
    • the Rx error offset is the measured AFC value when Rx error offset is set to 0
  • bitrate in kbps (e.g. 1.2 for 1200 bps)
  • frequency shift in kHz
    • this means the single sided shift (e.g. 4.5 for +/- 4500 Hz)
  • Rx bandwidth in kHz (choose the next larger value from table in SX1278.h)
    • this means the single sided bandwidth
    • calculation: RXbandwidth >= Fshift+(bitrate/2)
    • the auto function uses the above formula
  • AFC bandwidth in kHz (choose the next larger value from table in SX1278.h)
    • calculation: AFCbandwidth >= 2*(Fshift+(bitrate/2))+Ferror
    • Ferror means the maximum center frequency offset error of the SX1278 module
    • the auto function uses the above formula
