Hello everyone,
I have a Raspberry Pi equipped with a Waveshare SX1303 LoRaWAN HAT, and I’ve heard that it’s possible to convert a gateway into a relay gateway to extend coverage. I’m interested in exploring this functionality but am not sure where to start.
Could anyone provide documentation, guides, or any tips on how to set up my Raspberry Pi and SX1303 HAT as a relay gateway? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Did you ever figure anything out on this I am in the same boat. This is something that is mentioned in the Chirpstack documentation but I assume they don’t go into any detail because it is deferent for every gateway model.
Update: It is starting to make sense to me now. It seems as if this feature was developed with the RAK crew and it will work with their WiseblockOS (or whatever it’s called). However they do provide the ChirpStack-gatway-bridge.toml and that is a good start. I’ll post an upside if I get it up and running. Introduction - ChirpStack open-source LoRaWAN® Network Server documentation
One adjacent that I had to do in order to get the Gateway mesh installed on the Raspery Pi 4B is to install nix with >
curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install -o install-nix.sh
sh install-nix.sh --daemon
With respect to the instruction found here GitHub - chirpstack/chirpstack-gateway-mesh: ChirpStack Gateway Mesh
I’ll try to make an overview of this entire offered network build once I have thoroughly tested it.
