Using:
- Raspberry Pi 3
- https://uk.pi-supply.com/products/iot-lora-gateway-hat-for-raspberry-pi (beta)
- https://artifacts.loraserver.io/downloads/lora-gateway-os/raspberrypi/raspberrypi3/2.0.0test2/lora-gateway-os-full-raspberrypi3--20190127122018.sdimg.gz - burned to SD card with Etcher
Log into the Pi and run sudo gateway-config
to Setup LoRa concentrator shield
. Choose RAK831
as the Pi Supply Hat uses a RAK833 (PCIE - SPI) module. And choose your frequency plan (EU868 for me).
Now change the reset pin to the correct one used by this hat:
sudo nano /etc/default/lora-packet-forwarder
and change to
# reset pin
CONCENTRATOR_RESET_PIN=22
Restart the Pi
To see if the gateway is working or not I had to log into the LoRa Server web UI and run through all the screens and create instances of everything (Iām missing some documentation what exactly to do). Then finally I was able to register the gateway using the EUI I obtained from cat /etc/lora-packet-forwarder/global_conf.json
.
