RadioLib SX126x Spectrum Scan 

Perform a spectrum power scan using SX126x.
The output is in the form of scan lines; each line has 33 power bins.
The first power bin corresponds to -11 dBm, the second to -15 dBm, and so on.
The higher number of samples in a bin corresponds to more power received
at that level.

1	-11
2	-15
3	-19
4	-23
5	-27
6	-31
7	-35
8	-39

Example:
step-13 Frequancy:816.25
Power Bins: 0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,  0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0400,  0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0006,001B,000E,0005,   0006,0002,0000,

The spectrum analyzer performs power measurements in the configured bandwidth.

The X axis represents frequency in MHZ and Y axis display actual received power.
In this example above, the frequency span goes from 850 MHz to 950 MHz (that is a 100MHz range), and
the visual amplitude goes from -11 dBm to -110(-139) according to the datasheet(High sensitivity: down to -148dBm) dBm.

To show the results in a plot, run the Python script
RadioLib/extras/SX126x_Spectrum_Scan/SpectrumScan.py

# VSCode Platform.IO development env installation
1. Install VSCode
2. install Platfor.IO extension
   ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/00547068-6153-4c78-9f12-54981b013b06)
3. Connect ESP32 to USB. Install USB drivers for Windows
4. Clone this Git Repo or download zip of the sources
   ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/971b6592-3b71-414c-971c-2ecd20f0f0b7)
   ```
   git clone https://github.com/Genaker/LoraSA.git
   ```
NOTE: in you case name will be Just LoraSA. I have LoraSA2 because I already have LoraSA folder
6. Open the Project with the VS code Platform.IO

   ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/da14488d-7a4a-410e-b754-59598578016d)

7. Select Proper Environment

8. Select ESP32 USB Device to program
![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/af76c4b1-7122-45e1-b26b-08b59e03ca3b)
Note: It is theoretically possible to program via WiFi and BTH.
9. Programm your ESP32

10. Wait until you are done with the compilation and upload.
    Usually takes 1 minute. The first run is slower. It needs to compile all libraries. 
    ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6796eb5d-6e3f-45bc-b88c-251499f1ad47)
You will have the UCOG SA logo and spectrum analyzing scanning screen when done.
