Configuring the HopeRF Radio to run in FSK Mode

[Michael-Equi]

Hello, is anyone familiar with configuring the hope RF radio to run in FSK mode instead of LoRa. I tried changing code in adafriut_rfm9x.py to the following but it produces an error that causes radio1 to fail to initialize

  self.long_range_mode = False # Set to FSK / OOK
  # if self.operation_mode != SLEEP_MODE or not self.long_range_mode:
  #     raise RuntimeError('Failed to configure radio for LoRa mode, check wiring!')

Thanks

@Michael-Equi See line 260 of that library.

        if self.operation_mode != SLEEP_MODE or not self.long_range_mode:
            raise RuntimeError("Failed to configure radio for LoRa mode, check wiring!")

So only LoRa is supported by the adafruit library at the moment. It isn't hard to add the FSK capability, but my implementations aren't coherent enough to share with others (all it'd do is probably cause confusion).

EDIT:
I realized my response wasn't super clear. What that code is saying is: if the operating mode isn't sleep (aka idle) or long range (aka LoRa), then raise an error. In other words, they haven't implemented anything else so that catch is there to prevent the user from getting into a non-implemented radio mode.

Do you have a good starting place for adding the FSK functionality? Ive been trying code all over the internet and havent been able to get it to work. Haven't made much progress trying to back it out from the Datasheet either.
