LoPy Nano-gateway and private lora-server installation

In this page we are going to:

Install open source private LoRa server (by Orne Brocaar)
Setup LoPy as single channel nano gateway
Send data from LoPy node

Install private LoRa server:

1. We are going to use the Ansible playbook to setup all the LoRa server and dependencies.

Install Ansible (Reference: Ansible Installation
*sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
*sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible
*sudo apt-get update
*sudo apt-get install ansible

2. Clone the Ansible Playbook

Install git
*sudo apt-get install git
*sudo git clone https://github.com/brocaar/loraserver-setup
*cd loraserver-setup

// todo: continue

Setup LoPy as a Single channel nano gateway: (Reference Pycom Forum Github Code

Update LoPy firmware to 1.6.7.b1
Download the code
Edit the config.py file to setup: Gateway ID, Server IP, Server Port, Wifi Access Point for LoPy to connect to the network.

 GATEWAY_ID = '11aa334455bb7788'
 SERVER = 'ip.address.here'
 PORT = 1700
 WIFI_SSID = 'my-wifi'
 WIFI_PASS = 'my-wifi-password'

- Note: We can get gateway id by execute these code in LoPy (Referenece TTN):

 from network import LoRa
 import binascii
 lora = LoRa(mode=LoRa.LORAWAN)
 print(binascii.hexlify(lora.mac()).upper().decode('utf-8'))

Copy the code to the 'flash' folder of LoPy:

 Via FTP:
 Follow this reference to connect to LoPy via FTP pycom

Reset LoPy

We should be able to see the message from gateway from MQTT server with this topic (Reference loraserver):

mosquitto_sub -t "gateway/#" -v
