TTGO ESP32 LORA v1.0 unable to wakeup from sleep using LoRa interrupt

navainnovation

I wish to put the ESP32 module to sleep and then wake up from sleep when receiving a message via LoRa.

I have successfully put the ESP32 into deep sleep.
I have successfully woken up the ESP32 from deep sleep via a timer.
I have successfully woken up the ESP32 from deep sleep via a push button (using ext0 and ext1) on both GPIO25 and GPIO26.
But I am having trouble waking up the ESP32 from deep sleep using the DIO0 line from the LoRa.

I have already attempted to use the GPIO26 (DIO0) to wake up using ext0 and ext1 - without any success.

I have also tested the interrupt capability of GPIO26 and DIO0 when ESP32 is awake and that is working correctly with the interrupt firing when receiving a LoRa message.

@lewis This Library is for receiving and transmitting LoRa using interrupt.
I have already successfully received and transmitted LoRa packets using interrupt.

What I want is to wake up ESP32 from sleep using LoRa interrupt.

I am including the code I used to test the wakeup using LoRa interrupt.
If I input "SLEEP*" via LoRa or Serial, ESP32 will go to sleep but will not wake up with further commands, even though the interrupt is working correctly.

I found the solution from LILYGO Support itself.
For anyone wondering how to solve this, you need to hold the RST pin of LoRa high before ESP32 goes to sleep so that LoRa will be active.

Add this line before going to sleep

gpio_hold_en(GPIO_NUM_14);

The full sleep function will look like this.

void sleep_controller(long seconds) { //Deep Sleep ESP32
  Serial.println("Sleeping for " + String(seconds) + " secs");
  esp_sleep_enable_timer_wakeup(1000000LL * seconds);

  // Hold the RST pin of LoRa before going to sleep
  gpio_hold_en(GPIO_NUM_14);    

  esp_sleep_enable_ext0_wakeup(LORA_DIO0_INT, 1);
  esp_deep_sleep_start();
}

@navainnovation I was having similar problem and thank you so much for the solution.
Just having 1 question is that would this still work if I put the Lora to sleep mode, or even just idle mode?
