RadioLib Initialization failed code-2

[veronal]

First post with the group, have been working with the FDRS system for a couple of months now, thoroughly impressed, kudos to Timm,
Am getting the above error with the LilyGo v1 board (https://www.lilygo.cc/products/lora32-v1-0-lora-868mhz-915mhz).
The thing is it was working before, and since then a couple of things have happened, I experience a file lose which I now think I have recovered from, and I upgraded my library to the latest version. I have checked settings in the config file and that seem to be correct so I am at a loss.. has anybody else experience the same ? I have attached my config file ... thanks

Could be something wrong with the pin assignments. Try setting LORA_BUSY to RADIOLIB_NC and changing TXD2 and RXD2 to some unused pins like 32 and 33. Play with the Pin assignments a bit.

You also may try uncommenting the CUSTOM_SPI line

#define CUSTOM_SPI

Success!! made those modifications and I no longer get the error
thanks, would not thought of that myself...
I understand the LORA_BUSY change, but not clear on what the CUSTOM_SPI change does ??
Can you please elaborate ? thanks again

Hey @veronal,
I think Jeff must have been ahead of me on this, because it just dawned on me what the likely problem is/was:

If the wrong board is selected, RadioLib sometimes has an issue starting up. Have you selected "TTGO-LoRa32-OLED" as your board?
