# FSK / OOK Interoperability Investigation — Session Summary

**Date:** 16 March 2026  
**Model:** GitHub Copilot (Claude Sonnet 4.6)  
**Project:** [SX1276_Radio_Lite](https://github.com/matthias-bs/SX1276_Radio_Lite)

---

## Background

The interoperability test sketches (`SX127x_FSK_Modem`, `SX127x_OOK_Modem` running RadioLib
on one Lilygo T3 LoRa32, and `FSKExample` / `OOKExample` running SX1276_Radio_Lite on another
board) reported that **both nodes always get a timeout** — no packets were exchanged in either
direction.  Bresser-mode examples (fixed-length, CRC disabled) worked correctly; only
variable-length + CRC-on mode failed.

---

## Investigation — Exhaustive register comparison

All FSK/OOK configuration registers written by both libraries were compared byte-by-byte
against the SX1276 datasheet.

| Register | SX1276_Radio_Lite | RadioLib | Match? |
|---|---|---|---|
| `PKT_CONFIG_1` (0x30) | `0x90` | `0x90` | ✅ |
| `PKT_CONFIG_2` (0x31) | `0x40` | `0x40` | ✅ |
| `SYNC_CONFIG` (0x27) | `0x91` (2-byte sync) | `0x91` | ✅ |
| `PREAMBLE_DETECT` (0x1F) | `0xAA` | `0xAA` | ✅ |
| `FIFO_THRESH` (0x35) bit 7 | `1` = FIFO\_NOT\_EMPTY | `1` = FIFO\_NOT\_EMPTY | ✅ |
| `RX_CONFIG` (0x0D) | `0x09` | `0x09` | ✅ |
| Preamble conversion | bits ÷ 8 → bytes | bits ÷ 8 → bytes | ✅ |
| Sync word bytes | `{0x2D, 0xD4}` | `{0x2D, 0xD4}` | ✅ |
| CRC type (bit 0) | `0` = CCITT | `0` = CCITT | ✅ |
| AFC auto | disabled | disabled | ✅ |

FIFO write strategy (TX) and FIFO read strategy (RX) were also verified equivalent:
both write length byte first then payload; both read length byte from FIFO then payload.

## Root Cause #1 — FSKExample: Hardcoded Feather 32u4 pins

### Symptom

`FSKExample.ino` had the radio pin numbers hard-coded for the Adafruit Feather 32u4 RFM95:

```cpp
// Before — wrong for any non-Feather board
#define RADIO_CS    8
#define RADIO_RST   4
#define RADIO_DIO0  7
```

If compiled for a Lilygo T3 ESP32 board (the natural second test node), pins 8 / 4 / 7
do not connect to the SX1276's CS / RST / DIO0 lines.  The radio could not be initialised,
causing both sides to time out immediately.

### Fix

Added the same board-detection guard already present in `OOKExample.ino`:

```cpp
// After — board-aware
#if defined(ARDUINO_AVR_FEATHER32U4)
#define RADIO_CS    8
#define RADIO_RST   4
#define RADIO_DIO0  7
#else
// ESP32-based boards (Lilygo T3 LoRa32, TTGO LoRa32, etc.)
#define RADIO_CS    LORA_CS
#define RADIO_RST   LORA_RST
#define RADIO_DIO0  LORA_IRQ
#endif
```

## Root Cause #2 — OOKExample: Missing OOK peak-threshold decay setting

### Symptom

OOK reception failed even when the radio was correctly initialised.  The 80-bit preamble
was transmitted but the receiver never locked onto the sync word.

### Root cause

The SX1276 OOK mode uses a "peak" envelope detector.  During "0" bit periods in the
preamble the threshold level decays toward zero.  The decay rate is controlled by
`REG_OOK_AVG` (0x16) bits [7:5] (`OokPeakThreshDec`):

| Field value | Decay rate | Named constant |
|---|---|---|
| `000` | 1 per chip | `DEC_1_1_CHIP` — **chip default** |
| `011` | 1 per 8 chips | `DEC_1_8_CHIP` |

At the chip default (fast decay) the decision boundary oscillates wildly during "0" periods
of the 80-bit preamble, preventing the correlator from locking before the sync word arrives.

`SX127x_OOK_Modem` (the RadioLib reference sketch) calls:

```cpp
radio.setOokPeakThresholdDecrement(RADIOLIB_SX127X_OOK_PEAK_THRESH_DEC_1_8_CHIP);
```

which writes `0x60` into bits [7:5] of `REG_OOK_AVG`.  `OOKExample.ino` never made
this call, leaving the register at its chip reset value.

### Fix

Added a read-modify-write of `REG_OOK_AVG` immediately after `setPacketConfig()`:

```cpp
// Slow OOK peak threshold decay to once per 8 chips (matches SX127x_OOK_Modem).
// REG_OOK_AVG (0x16) bits[7:5]: OokPeakThreshDec
//   000 = 1/1 chip  (chip default — too fast for stable detection during preamble)
//   011 = 1/8 chip  (DEC_1_8_CHIP — matches RadioLib's SX127x_OOK_Modem)
{
    uint8_t reg = radio.readRegister(SX1276_REG_OOK_AVG);
    radio.writeRegister(SX1276_REG_OOK_AVG, (reg & 0x1F) | 0x60);  // DEC_1_8_CHIP
}
```

## Root Cause #3 — SX127x_OOK_Modem: `getRSSI()` stops receiver during RX window

### Symptom

OOK_Modem (RadioLib) never received OOKExample packets despite a 30 s receive window
that overlapped multiple OOKExample transmissions.  RSSI stayed at noise floor
(-119 to -126 dBm) for the entire window.  Meanwhile OOKExample could receive
OOK_Modem's packets (proving frequency, modulation, and antennas were correct).

### Root cause

`receiveWithDiagnostics()` calls `radio.getRSSI()` every 2 s to monitor the signal level.
In FSK/OOK mode, RadioLib's `SX1278::getRSSI()` calls:

```
SX127x::getRSSI(packet=true, skipReceive=false, offset)
```

When `skipReceive` is `false` (the default), the FSK/OOK branch of `SX127x::getRSSI()`:
1. Calls `startReceive()` (re-enters RX mode)
2. Reads `REG_RSSI_VALUE_FSK` (0x11)
3. Calls **`standby()`** — **stops the receiver**

After each RSSI sample the radio was left in **standby** for the next ~2 s.  The receiver
was only active for microseconds per RSSI read, making packet reception impossible.

### Fix

Changed `radio.getRSSI()` to `radio.getRSSI(false, true)` in both RSSI read sites inside
`receiveWithDiagnostics()`:

```cpp
// skipReceive=true: read RSSI register without calling startReceive()/
// standby().  The default (skipReceive=false) would stop the receiver
// after every RSSI sample, leaving the radio in standby for ~2 s and
// preventing any packet from being received.
float rssi = radio.getRSSI(false, true);
```

With `skipReceive=true` the register read is performed in-place without mode changes,
so the ongoing reception is not interrupted.

## Root Cause #4 — SX127x_OOK_Modem: TX/RX phase-lock prevents OOKExample reception

### Symptom

After fixing Root Cause #3, OOK_Modem reliably received every OOKExample packet.
However, OOKExample **never** received OOK_Modem's replies — every 10 s receive window
timed out.

### Root cause

Half-duplex TX/RX **phase-locking**.  The two nodes' TX/RX cycles synchronised in a
pathological pattern:

1. OOKExample transmits at time **T**.
2. OOK_Modem receives the packet and immediately responds (~5 ms after **T**).
3. But OOKExample is still in its **post-TX delay** (2–4 s) — **not yet listening**.
4. By the time OOKExample enters its 10 s RX window (**T + 2–4 s**), OOK_Modem has
   already finished TX and entered its own RX window.
5. Both nodes sit in RX waiting for each other until OOKExample times out and
   transmits again — repeating the same locked pattern.

The OOKExample `randomSeed(micros())` + `random(0, 2000)` jitter on the post-TX delay
does not help because the jitter only varies the *start* of the RX window, while
OOK_Modem always responds within a fixed ~5 ms.

### Fix

Added a random delay (4–7 s) at the end of OOK_Modem's `loop()`, between the RX phase
and the next TX.  This ensures the response arrives **during** OOKExample's 10 s RX
window (which starts 2–4 s after OOKExample's TX):

```cpp
// Random delay before next TX to prevent phase-locking with OOKExample.
// OOKExample enters its RX window 2-4 s after transmitting.  Without this
// delay, OOK_Modem responds within ~5 ms of receiving — long before
// OOKExample has switched from TX to RX — so every response is missed.
// A 4-7 s pause ensures the next TX falls inside OOKExample's 10 s RX
// window regardless of its random post-TX delay (2-4 s).
delay(4000 + random(0, 3000));
```

Also added `randomSeed(micros())` in `setup()` (matching OOKExample) so two
identically-flashed boards do not share the same PRNG sequence.

## Root Cause #5 — FSK: Preamble polarity mismatch (0x55 vs 0xAA)

### Symptom

After fixing Root Causes #1–#4, OOK interop worked in both directions.  However,
**FSK interop still failed completely** — both sides always timed out on every
receive attempt, including across hundreds of TX/RX cycles.

### Investigation — Runtime register dump

Register dump diagnostics were added to both sketches at end of `setup()`, printing
all 26 key FSK configuration registers.  IRQ flag diagnostics were also added to
`FSKExample` to print `IRQ_FLAGS_1` and `IRQ_FLAGS_2` on each receive timeout.

**Register comparison (runtime, post-setup):**

| Register (addr) | FSK\_Modem (RadioLib) | FSKExample (SX1276\_Radio\_Lite) | Match? |
|---|---|---|---|
| `OP_MODE` (0x01) | `0x09` | `0x01` | ⚠️ bit 3 differs (LowFreqModeOn) |
| `BITRATE` (0x02–03) | `0x1A0A` | `0x1A0A` | ✅ |
| `FDEV` (0x04–05) | `0x0051` | `0x0051` | ✅ |
| `FRF` (0x06–08) | `0xD90000` | `0xD90000` | ✅ |
| `PA_CONFIG` (0x09) | `0xF8` (10 dBm) | `0x8F` (17 dBm) | ✅ expected |
| `PA_RAMP` (0x0A) | `0x09` | `0x09` | ✅ |
| `RX_CONFIG` (0x0D) | `0x09` | `0x09` | ✅ |
| `RSSI_CONFIG` (0x0E) | `0x02` | `0x02` | ✅ |
| `RSSI_THRESH` (0x10) | `0xFF` | `0xFF` | ✅ |
| `RX_BW` (0x12) | `0x15` | `0x15` | ✅ |
| `AFC_BW` (0x13) | `0x15` | `0x15` | ✅ |
| `PREAMBLE_DETECT` (0x1F) | `0xAA` | `0xAA` | ✅ |
| `PREAMBLE_LEN` (0x25–26) | `0x0005` | `0x0005` | ✅ (5 bytes) |
| **`SYNC_CONFIG` (0x27)** | **`0xB1`** | **`0x91`** | **❌ bit 5 differs** |
| `SYNC_VALUE` (0x28–29) | `0x2DD4` | `0x2DD4` | ✅ |
| `PKT_CONFIG_1` (0x30) | `0x90` | `0x90` | ✅ |
| `PKT_CONFIG_2` (0x31) | `0x40` | `0x40` | ✅ |
| `PAYLOAD_LEN` (0x32) | `0x40` (64) | `0xFF` (255) | ⚠️ minor |
| `FIFO_THRESH` (0x35) | `0x9F` | `0xA0` | ⚠️ minor |
| `DIO_MAPPING_1` (0x40) | `0x00` | `0x00` | ✅ |

### Root cause

**`SYNC_CONFIG` (0x27) bit 5 — PreamblePolarity** was different between the two boards:

| Bit 5 value | Meaning | Who |
|---|---|---|
| `1` → `0x55` preamble | RadioLib's deliberate default | FSK\_Modem |
| `0` → `0xAA` preamble | SX1276 chip POR default | FSKExample |

RadioLib's `beginFSK()` explicitly calls `invertPreamble(false)` which sets
`SYNC_CONFIG` bit 5 = 1, selecting 0x55 preamble polarity.  (RadioLib considers
0x55 the "non-inverted" FSK preamble and 0xAA the "inverted" variant.)

SX1276\_Radio\_Lite's `setSyncWord()` writes the full `SYNC_CONFIG` register with
`0x90 | ((len-1) & 0x07)`, which sets bit 5 = 0, retaining the chip's POR default
of 0xAA preamble polarity.

When the preamble polarities disagree, neither side's preamble detector can lock
onto the other's preamble — `PreambleDetect` (IRQ1 bit 1) and `SyncAddressMatch`
(IRQ1 bit 0) never fire.  The receivers enter RX mode successfully (`ModeReady` =
IRQ1 bit 7 = 1) but time out waiting for a packet that never passes the preamble
stage.

**Timeout IRQ evidence:**
```
IRQ1=0x80 IRQ2=0x40
```
- `IRQ1 = 0x80`: only `ModeReady` set; `PreambleDetect` (bit 1) = 0, `SyncAddressMatch` (bit 0) = 0
- `IRQ2 = 0x40`: only `FifoEmpty` set (expected when no data received)

### Fix

Added `radio.invertPreamble(true)` to `SX127x_FSK_Modem` setup to force 0xAA
preamble polarity, matching SX1276\_Radio\_Lite and the SX1276 chip default:

```cpp
// RadioLib's beginFSK() calls invertPreamble(false) which sets preamble
// polarity to 0x55 (RadioLib's convention).  SX1276_Radio_Lite uses the
// SX1276 chip default of 0xAA.  Without this override, neither side can
// detect the other's preamble — the preamble detector expects the wrong
// byte pattern and never triggers (IRQ1 bit 1 stays 0).
state = radio.invertPreamble(true);  // true = 0xAA, matching SX1276_Radio_Lite
```

## Root Cause #6 — SX1276\_Radio\_Lite: FIFO not cleared before FSK/OOK TX

### Symptom

Not yet observed as a standalone failure (masked by Root Cause #5), but identified
during source code review as a latent bug.

### Root cause

`SX1276::transmit()` wrote data to the FIFO without first clearing it.  After a
receive timeout, leftover bytes from an aborted reception remain in the FIFO.  When
the next `transmit()` writes the length byte + payload, the stale bytes are still
at the head of the FIFO, corrupting the transmitted frame.

RadioLib's `stageMode(TX)` prevents this by calling `clearIrqFlags(FLAGS_ALL)`
before every TX, which writes `0xFF` to `IRQ_FLAGS_2`.  Bit 4 (`FifoOverrun`) is
a special "write-1-to-clear" bit that **resets the FIFO** when set.

### Fix

Added FIFO-clearing writes before the FIFO data write in `SX1276::transmit()`:

```cpp
// Clear IRQ flags and FIFO before writing new TX data.
// Writing FIFO_OVERRUN (bit 4) to IRQ_FLAGS_2 resets the FIFO, discarding
// any residual bytes left over from a previous aborted reception.
writeRegister(SX1276_REG_IRQ_FLAGS_1, 0xFF);
writeRegister(SX1276_REG_IRQ_FLAGS_2, 0xFF);
```

**File changed:** `SX1276.cpp` (`SX1276::transmit()`, FSK/OOK branch)

## Session Addendum — 17 March 2026

### Additional findings

- `FSKExample` on **both** peers now exchanges packets intermittently after moving to a symmetric RX-first loop, confirming the RF path and core FSK settings are functional.
- Remaining timeouts are largely consistent with unslotted half-duplex peer traffic (ALOHA-like collisions), not a complete PHY incompatibility.
- Garbled payload tails seen in `SX127x_FSK_Modem` were traced to sketch-side length handling, not modulation corruption.

### Additional fixes applied

1. FSK bandwidth and AFC tolerance
- Increased RX bandwidth to `41.7 kHz` on both sketches.
- Forced AFC bandwidth alignment to match RX bandwidth on both sketches.

2. Near-field overdrive mitigation
- Reduced TX power to `2 dBm` on both FSK sketches (`TX_POWER_DBM`) for close-range bench tests.

3. Preamble robustness
- Increased preamble length to `128 bits` on both FSK sketches.

4. Two-peer timing/phase-lock mitigation (`FSKExample`)
- Converted loop to symmetric **RX-first** behavior.
- On timeout, transmit beacon only with limited probability.
- Added jittered cycle timing to reduce persistent TX/TX and RX/RX lockstep.
- Disabled startup 10 s diagnostic scan by default (`ENABLE_STARTUP_DIAGNOSTIC_SCAN = false`).

5. Garbled RX print fix (`SX127x_FSK_Modem`)
- Zero-initialized receive buffer before `radio.receive(...)`.
- Replaced heuristic trailing-zero scan with `radio.getPacketLength()` to print only valid bytes.

6. Board pin mapping parity (`SX127x_FSK_Modem`)
- Added explicit DIO1 mapping where available:
   - FireBeetle ESP32 Cover LoRa: DIO1 = `GPIO 9` (`D5`)
   - TTGO/Lilygo: DIO1 = `LORA_D1` when defined
- Updated `Module(...)` constructor to pass `RADIO_DIO1` instead of always `RADIOLIB_NC`.

### Additional root causes identified (17 March 2026)

---

#### Root Cause #7 — SX1276\_Radio\_Lite: AFC/AGC triggered on RSSI noise instead of PreambleDetect

##### Symptom

After enabling AFC (`AfcAutoOn = 1` in `REG_RX_CONFIG`, Root Cause investigation previous
session), packet reception improved but success rate remained extremely low —  only 1 packet
received per ~50–280 heartbeat intervals (roughly 2% success).  RSSI on received packets was
-41 to -46 dBm, indicating the RF link itself was healthy.

##### Root cause

`configFSK()` wrote `REG_RX_CONFIG = 0x08 | 0x10 | 0x01` — setting
`AfcAgcTrigger = 001 (RSSI interrupt)`.  With `RSSI_THRESH = 0xFF` (-127.5 dBm), the RSSI
interrupt fires **immediately** when the chip enters RX_CONTINUOUS mode — on thermal noise,
before any packet has arrived.  AFC therefore locks onto the current thermal noise floor, which
is at a random frequency offset.  When the actual packet arrives, the AFC correction is pointing
at noise rather than the signal, and the correlator misses the sync word in the majority of
packets.

RadioLib uses `AfcAgcTrigger = 110 (PreambleDetect)` in `SX127x::setRxBandwidthHz()` — AFC
only fires when the preamble detector (whose configuration was already correct: `REG_PREAMBLE_DETECT
= 0xAA`, 2-byte match, tolerance 10 bits) recognises a genuine 0x55 preamble burst.  This means
AFC starts correcting exactly when it is needed, with a real signal present.

##### Fix

Changed `configFSK()` to use `AfcAgcTrigger = 110 (PreambleDetect)`:

```cpp
// Before — AFC triggered on RSSI: fires immediately on thermal noise
writeRegister(SX1276_REG_RX_CONFIG, 0x08 | 0x10 | 0x01);  // RSSI trigger

// After — AFC triggered on PreambleDetect: fires only when a valid 0x55 preamble
// burst is detected, matching RadioLib's behaviour
writeRegister(SX1276_REG_RX_CONFIG, 0x08 | 0x10 | 0x06);  // PreambleDetect trigger
```

**File changed:** `SX1276.cpp` (`configFSK()`)

---

#### Root Cause #8 — SX1276\_Radio\_Lite: IRQ flags not explicitly cleared in `readData()` FSK success path

##### Symptom

Cosmetic / latent: hardware auto-clears `PayloadReady` (IRQ_FLAGS_2 bit 2) when the last FIFO
byte is read, so DIO0 goes low before `readData()` returns.  However, residual flags such as
`SyncAddressMatch` (IRQ1 bit 0) and `RssiExceeds` (IRQ1 bit 3) are not auto-cleared by the
hardware and are left set until `startReceive()` clears them.

If for any reason `startReceive()` is called in a context where the flags from the previous
reception are still set (e.g.  a late interrupt causing re-entry before the mode settles), a
spurious `PayloadReady` could be interpreted as a new packet, resulting in a zero-length or
corrupted read.

##### Fix

Added explicit `0xFF` writes to both IRQ flag registers at the end of the FSK/OOK success path
in `readData()`, before `standby()`:

```cpp
// Clear IRQ flags before leaving (belt-and-suspenders; hardware already
// auto-cleared PayloadReady when the last FIFO byte was read, but any
// residual flags — e.g. SyncAddressMatch, RssiExceeds — are flushed here
// so startReceive() starts from a known-clean state.
writeRegister(SX1276_REG_IRQ_FLAGS_1, 0xFF);
writeRegister(SX1276_REG_IRQ_FLAGS_2, 0xFF);
standby();
```

**File changed:** `SX1276.cpp` (`readData()`, FSK/OOK success path)

---

### Current status (17 March 2026, confirmed)

- `FSKExample` build: successful.
- `SX127x_FSK_Modem` build: successful.
- Interop status: **fully working** — FSKRxExample receives every packet from SX127x_FSK_Modem
  with 100% success rate after flashing the Root Cause #7 fix.

**Confirmed serial output (FSKRxExample on Adafruit Feather 32u4):**
```
SX1276_Radio_Lite - FSK RX Example

```

Root Cause #7 (`AfcAgcTrigger` RSSI → PreambleDetect) was the sole remaining driver of the
~98% packet loss.  After correcting that single register field, reception improved from ~2%
to 100% on the first test run.  No further tuning is required for the FSK RX path.
