Add support for reporting over the Helium network #878

Closed DeflateAwning closed 1 year ago

cyberman54 commented 1 year ago

Paxcounter is based on LMIC stack which is LoRaWAN 1.0.3 compliant. Thus, it can be used with every LoRaWAN network which is supporting this standard. Check with your network provider. It will work on Helium, too.

PS: i tested to registrate a paxcounter in Helium network. Worked as expected. But burns your $HNT wallet pretty fast since it reports all 60 seconds...

I'm wondering if you'd be able to share the tutorial or something? I think there might be a good opportunity to add a tutorial or explanation to this Git repo for anyone looking to get started!

This is an open source project, you are welcome to do so and post a PR!

Can you share any information about how you went about setting it up? Were there any tutorials or guides you followed? Looking to avoid re-inventing the wheel here if possible :)

it's just registrating a lorawan device in a lorawan network. Nothing special here, just enter keys and go. A tutorial would be just about lorawan basics. There are some, so why reinvent this wheel here again?
