PINE64 CommunityThe Pinedio LoRa adapter lives thanks to Meshcore and pyMC_core!
The Pinedio USB LoRa adapter endured spamming a message at the byte limit to a Heltec V3 node for 30 seconds without issue.
Is your PINE64 RSS feed sad and lumpy? (It doesn't contain the full blog post, only a description) Well we have great news for you! We now publish the full blog post in your RSS feed (that's 65% more blog post per blog post!), don't know why it wasn't like that before, but there we go.
If you don't see this change already please update your RSS feed: https://pine64.org/blog/index.xml
Also appending the previous update with some new content in a blog post: https://pine64.org/2026/05/18/may_2026_quick/
The PineDio USB LoRa Adapter is at the focus of a new effort to begin progress on potential new LoRa devices. MeshCore is the current protocol target for the USB LoRa Adapter along with help from the pyMC_core library project.
The current problem with the device is that the crystal oscillator is heating up too much and can cause clock frequency drifting instability. In a nutshell that means your messages come out garbled. This may eventually be fixed with a TXCO (Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator) to maintain a stable clock frequency.
morganbut also, I found the #pine64 #PineDIO USB I've been looking for over the last week.
I'm going to start working on a Linux NET-IF driver based on the Semtec SX1262 reference driver. If that works out the way I envision, I'd like to do the same for the SX1303 on the PineDIO, which appears to still be completely without a driver???
hamblingreenlist of tech goals over winter break:
[] home server setup (wip)
[x] #LoRa #Pinephone back case meshtastic connection
[] figure out LoRa #PineDio usb communicator
[] pinephone fingerprint back case
[] actually maintain #framebufferphone
[x] read the Pragmatic Programmer
[x] figure out what's wrong with my #ppkb (charging circuit :/)
- and probably more i'm forgetting
i've got a bit of work to do
