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

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)

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

me too! Let us know.
