Support for ThingsNetworks #8

Open ondrejspilka327 opened 1 year ago

Hello there,

is there any support for ThingsNetworks LoraWan gateway with OTA activation?

Thanks, Ondřej

xirami commented 1 year ago

and if not, any suggestion how to create port of micropython Kernel? I did LoraWan implementation for TN gateway on im881A-XL, Pico should be easy as well to do on my own...

RangePi Does not support LoRaWan.

Got it, thanks. Is there any way how to customize MicroPython kernel so we implement at least basic LoRaWan connectivity?

Use case - we have few places where we will put LoRa equipped weather sensors to support paragliding community. Since mostly these locations are in the mountains, it would be great to be able to measure signal strengths locally. We found RangePI as very nice and portable device, with Yagi antenna and battery it can do the job.

Let me note this is community project, nothing commercial.

I believe it might be nice extension to existing RangePI stack, what do you think? Technically should be no issue, you use Pico powerfull microprocessor with SX126x chips, so same as with IM881A-XL for example.

Thanks for answer!

Hi, I also thought it could be integrated with thethingsnetwork. However, if it can be used in serial mode and connected for example to a raspberry, maybe we can build an app to use it as an antenna

RangePi Does not support LoRaWan.

The RangePi is an open source USB dongle that plugs into any computer or device and lets you work with the LoRa network. based on the Semtech SX1262 enabling your projects to communicate up to a range of 5 km with auto repeating supported, it can be employed in packet and LoRaWAN modes making it compatible with The Things Network. https://hackaday.io/project/184091-range-pi-plug-and-play-loratm-dongle-based-on-rp Better stop saying b.... I bought four. Next plz say real spec
