SX1278 auto ACK

[szerwi]

Hi,

Is there any way to use auto ACK with SX1278 (RF95 / Ra-02) module in this library? I would like to know whether the message was delivered successfuly or not.
If it's not possible in this library, is there any other library that has this feature?

As far as I know, SX127x has no built-in "auto-ACK" feature, similar to e.g. nRF24. Since RadioLib is primarily a collection of drivers, if it's not a feature of the module, you will have to implement it yourself in the application level - although I suspect implementing ACK mechanism is probably not all that difficult.

@jgromes thank you for the answer. Are there any additional modules for the RadioLib libraries the same as for RadioHead library? RadioHead has a RHReliableDatagram for addresable and acknowledged transmission or RFMesh for creating the mesh network. Is any of these possible using the RadioLib?

As far as I know there's nothing directly equivalent to RHReliableDatagram/RFMesh. The design intent for RadioLib was not to re-do work done in RadioHead, but rather to provide a simpler, yet more powerful interface to various radio modules.

Since this is not an issue, I'm converting it to a discussion instead.
