Node with ESP8266 and RFM95W
I agree with JamesC The RN2483 offers a sleep mode in which it consumes the lowest power.The max sleeptime is 4294967 mS = app. 49.7 days, after that it wakes up by itself.So you can set an internal...

@JamesC, @Borroz I agree with both of you I was not saying that the Microchip RN2483 is too expensive, I think it is the best (only) bargain that gives you a complete LoraWAN stack and RF...

Does anyone know if there is sourcecode available to connect a RFM95W on raspberry and use it as a node ?

I made a port of the IBM LMIC code to Raspberry. It's not fully finished, but seems to work. It's on https://github.com/ernstdevreede/lmic_pi. Let me know if you run into problems.

While setting up my Multitech gateway I decided to remove the lines in the config that enables upload to Semtech. During testing of the network using a RN2483 module I saw that the module responds...

Hi Gary I saw your gateway online via the TTN API. Very nice to see South Africans joining too. Earlier I also saw a gateway in Bellville, but it seems to be gone now. I am from Stellenbosch, but...

In the lab where I am sitting we have two LoRaWan networks. The first I'll call the proprietary network (Network 1), and the second one is TTN (Network 2). Gateway for Network 1 is managed by a...

jpmeijers: Are my assumptions correct about TTN not sending acknowledgements? Yes. The current implementation of TTN does not send ACKs.

Your node configuration is not completely clear to me: if you configure personalised addresses, how can it do a join on another network? Also, how can it fail to do ABP? I think the confusion is...

At the moment it seems to be fixed by a workaround. "mac adr off" - this was on"mac ar off" - this was on"max tx uncnf" - rather than "mac tx cnf" This feels wrong, but at least the packets are...

Keys are the key to solve these kind of problems Soon, the first version of the TTN back-end will be online, and you will be able to set session keys per node, instead of the current default key for...

The Arduino port of the IBM LMiC works on the ESP8266 with only minor modifications. Using the RN2483 might be simpler though.

Thanks Ernesto! Just tested and it works like a charm! What are you planning to add ? (because you said it is not fully finished)

Thanks Andrew What do you think of the idea of including a 'sponsored by' field? I guess it would require some manual data entry? What do you use as a datasource for your map at the moment? Thanks Sam
