Welcome to the LoRa wiki!

Here you will find some explanations to the files in this repository.

LoRa Node w/ Dragino LoRa shield & Arduino Uno

A temperature sensor TMP36 is connected to analog input A0 and the node sends a measured temperature value each minute to a LoRa Gateway. The file for this application is lora_shield_ttn_tempC.ino.

LoRa Gateway w/ Dragino LoRa/GPS Hat & Raspberry Pi

This LoRa Gateway is a simple single-channel gateway for proof of concept. The packet forwarder was used w/o any modifications needed Single%20Channel%20LoRaWAN%20Gateway.md.

LoRa Node w/ radino32 SX1272

The radino32 SX1272 combines an STM32L151 with the SX1272 RF Transceiver in a small form-factor EMC-compliant module. The core of the radino32 SX1272 is the powerfull STM32L151 by STMicroelectronics, which with 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M3 CPU, 32 kbyte RAM, 256 kbyte Flash and 8 kbyte EPROM provides enough resources for complex functionalities. The radino32 SX1272 is part of the radino-series, which supplies full-Arduino-compatible wireless communication devices in a small form factor.

This time the radino32 SX1272 is not LoRaWAN compatible yet. Therefore, communication between nodes is possible now.

The file for the temperature sensor equipped LoRa node is LoRaNode.ino. You have to install the radino library from the website of the manufacturer In-Circuit. Look for the modifications at radino32_sx1272.h and radino32_sx1272.cpp.

LoRa Node w/ LoPy

LoPy is the only MicroPython enabled micro controller on the market today, which implements LoRa, Wifi and BLE.

In LoRa mode Lopy can serve as LoRa node for peer-to-peer communication with radino32 SX1272. The file for this kind of application is xxx.

In LoRaWAN mode LoPy can serves as LoRaWAN node and as a LoRaWAN Gateway. For LoRaWAN node there is a sample program in [Pycom repo] (https://github.com/ckuehnel/pycom/blob/master/LoRa_ABP_template.py).
