LoPy Nano-gateway and private lora-server installation
In this page we are going to: 1.Install open source private LoRa server (by Orne Brocaar)
2.Setup LoPy as single channel nano gateway
3.Send data from LoPy node
1.Install private LoRa server:
We use LoRa Server Setup Ansible playbook to install all the LoRa server component:
For testing use vagrant to install the server to virtual machine in our local pc (We will update the guide to deploy later):
- Download and install vagrant to your machine vagrant download page
- Install git to your machine
- Clone the LoRa Server Setup repository Reference:
git clone https://github.com/brocaar/loraserver-setup.git
- Go to loraserver-setup folder (In terminal or CMD)
cd loraserver-setup
- Run vagrant up
vagrant up
- The virtual machine will boot and install all the component (This can take a while)
- Note: we can access the server web interface at https://localhost:8080/ (As a self-signed certificate is used, your browser will prompt that the certificate can't be trusted. This is ok for testing)
- We can use our machine IP address and port 1700 for our gateway to forward the package (We do this later in setup LoPy as Nano Gateway below)
2.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
3.Send data from LoPy node:
- Register node in server
- Send data from node (LoPy)
- Subscribe to node data from server:
