ESP32-C3 driving a Wio-E5 Chip

[phil15]

Hi,
I have designed a PCB for someone that has an ESP32-C3 connected to a Wio-E5 IC via serial Tx/Rx and an antenna,
I have a couple of samples and wanted to use them to transmit and receive data but I’m not really an experienced code writer so I thought I would use Google Gemini to write the code, I have used it before for another small project and it worked great.
I have asked it to create TX code that transmits a count from 1 to 100 and the battery voltage on ADC0 then repeat, RX code that recieves the data and displays it on a 0.96" OLED I2C display.
Both sketches are working OK but during the code generation for the receiver it could not get the Wio-E5 to work in continuous reception mode and had to resort to polling the Wio-E5 every couple of seconds, which means some packets are missed.

Can anyone shed some light on why the Wio-E5 refuses to enter continuous reception? This is the error from the Arduino IDE Serial console when trying to setup reception

Unfortunately I don’t have the source code that caused that error but I will try to re-create it.
Thanks

Just to close this, I figured out the problem, as I typed the original post I thought the command didn’t seem right so I started looking through the AT command set for the wio-E5, I couldn’t find the exact command the AI wanted to use but found another

I pasted the above image into the AI prompt and it apologised and re-did the code using that new command and now it works great, no packets missed Just goes to show, AI is good but it does make mistakes
