NLNOG / Triple LoraWAN Uno usage
Hi all, Might be interesting to start a thread on how to use the Triple LoRaWAN modules that were handed out at the quiz. Quickstart guide: https://www.dropbox.com/s/679gjqza5fk5tp3/LoRa%20QuickStart%20Guide%20(Engli... Another guide: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/labs/story/the-things-uno-getting-started There are two methods to connect to the network: OTAA or ABP. I found this https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/what-is-the-difference-between-otaa... so OTAA might be the better method to connect. I'm reading everywhere that it is highly recommended to use an external antenna, it took me some puzzling but I found where you can solder on a connector and attach an antenna: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b7va5k4ncbndfex/2016-09-11%2013.33.24.jpg?dl=0 Arjen Zonneveld found in the manual that these components could be used: antenna 712-ANT-868-CWHWRRPS: http://nl.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Linx-Technologies/ANT-868-CW-HWR-RPS/?qs=... connector 712-CONREVSMA003.062: http://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Linx-Technologies/CONREVSMA003062/?qs=K5t... Any recommendations on where to buy those? What other accessories would be useful? You can search for gateways nearby with the help of this map. The coverage is an estimate, always consider that brick is good at killing RF. Antenna's & being in line of sight of the gateway can http://ha-23.eradus.eu/croft.html Kind regards, Job
Not sure where this page gets its data from but it's by far not complete. For example it's missing about all Flevoland gateways (two Voiceworks gateways and one Elements gateway in Almere, the Solcon gateway in Dronten, etc) Check TTNmapper. Useful for mapping coverage of your own gateway. The site has options to display all measurements or restrict to recent measurements. Note: it only displays gateway that once received ttnmapper data. http://ttnmapper.org/ -- Arjan van der Oest Sent from my iPhone

wow, that is useful way to visualise the reach of a gateway. Thanks!
