rfquack
Can RFQuack be used with RF1100-232 USB device ?
Describe the bug
I am trying to use RFQuack with an RF110-232 USB device such as https://aliexpress.com/item/1005003285561543.html I can see it as /dev/ttyUSB0 so typing this :
PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python rfquack tty -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 19200
# or with futher options
PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python rfquack tty -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 19200 -p N -S 1 -s 8
RFQuack start correctly but no dongles are detected (q._dongles returns a {} so I can't select by id).
I have access to some software to configure the CC1101 chip via the USB / CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller (Silicon Labs). This device seems to be build by a defunct company by the name of fytoo. Firmware and PDFs (in chinese) are to be found here https://github.com/acontini/CC1101_USB
Am I trying to do something completely out of the scope of RFQuack ?
Additional info (please complete)
- MCU: ttyUSB via CP2102 (?)
- Wireless module type : CC1101
- Host environment : Linux Ubuntu 22.02
- RFQuack version, branch, or tag : master
- RadioLib version, branch, or tag : n/a ?
Not out of the box. The radio transceiver CC1101 is supported by RFQuack, but the board may not be supported by PlatformIO and/or Arduino.
Do you know what MCU is onboard the RF110-232?
Have you checked it it's supported by PlatformIO?
The MCU seems to be an ATMEL MEGA48PA. It seems supported by plateformio : https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/boards/atmelavr/ATmega48P.html
OK, that's half good news. Now, in order to use RFQuack you need to figure out how the MCU's SPI bus is wired to the CC1101.

Here are a few quick picture, if this a way forward I can probably do some higher resolution pictures to make it easier to read.
I believe some information about this USB stick is archived here : https://github.com/acontini/CC1101_USB/ (most documents in Chinese)
Another source of information is http://www.yesyes.info/index.php/electronics/rf1100-232-rf-433mhz-transceiver-module/
I think you don’t need to follow the wiring. Instead, you can figure out the pinout from that source code.

Hello, @arthurlutz , let me know if you got it running, I have the same device.
