LoraWan gateway part 2:1CH gateway V6 with helteclora32 platformIO

https://github.com/things4u/ESP-1ch-Gateway is a very updated library, this is one of those TTN 1ch forwarders, the most updated as today(2020/09/22). The writer is making the V6 on PlatformIO. 

One good thing is that in platformIO the project files will include all the libraries in the project. So that you don't need to take care of the dependency of libs. I used to use arduino, when making larger projects, you will use a lot of libs,  it's not a big problem when you start the project and make it work. But as time gose by, libs would be updated or renewed and get yourself into  troubles of compatibility between libraries. and it's not done yet, some times when arduino board profiles make large change, some libs can fail...especially on newer boards, such esp32/8266...

With PlatformIO, we get ride of the compatibility problem, since you include the need libs with correct version into the project, I'm not sure if the board definitions of platfromIO have impact on libs, but at least you can already get ride of the libs problem.

with  sthing4u V6 on platform IO, the first board I try is 

heltec lora32 433Mhz version I purchase few years ago.

as this article description mine is a v2, but it's not....

I tried following board setting and pin out(used and defined in loraModem.h) in the ini file:

heltec_wifi_lora_32_V2 with pin_out=5, board keep on reseting

heltec_wifi_lora_32_V2 with pin_out=4, board keep on reseting

heltec_wifi_lora_32 with pin_out=4, works...

TTGO board

according to the article, my board is a V2, but it's not in the platformIO definition.
in the ini file. I tried 
ttgo-lora32-v2 with pinout 4 and pinout5, code can't be compiled...

ttgo-lora32-v1 and pin4 then it does work but with no IIC, with pinout5, it works..
board = ttgo-lora32-v1

from the terminal this time it shows the ACK..

I got it worked on us frequency plan, since most lorawan projects comes with the frequency plan in LoRaWAN 1.0.2 rvB Regional Parameters , where you there is only AS frequency plan for asia area.
But from TTN https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/lorawan/frequency-plans.html there are AS1 and AS2.

Build for other frquency plan

in configGaway.h add the name of your region to define with. I added AS923_925 which is AS2 plan.

Then goes to the end of file, modify the TTNserver, mine is: "router.as2.thethings.network"
make it fit with gateway config: https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/gateway-conf



Then go to loraModem.h and add your frequency plan. The frequency table has to match to gateway config frequency plan. https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/gateway-conf

below is my setup for AS2 and AS1.

the colons are seperated into 2 part, the fist part is the uplink ones, 2nd part is the down link ones. each set has description on frequency, bandwidth, spread factor(start of SF, and end of SF range).

for example, for AS1, the first roll reads:

{ 923200000, 125, 7, 12, 923200000, 125, 7, 12},   

means 923.2Mhz is used for uplink with BW=125, spread factor 7 to 12

same config as down link.

};

Note that in TTN frequency plan there is  a FSK channel, I did not list it.


With my TTGO , it works fine.

but the OLED display is inverted on my TTGO, so I went to oLED.ino comment out few  flips and it works fine.

//display.flipScreenVertically();


I have a Pi gateway runs on AS1 plan, and this TTGO 1CH gateway runs on AS2.

I currently has a AS1 plan device running on OTAA, from time to time, the AS2 TTGO gets data as well, since there are few frequencies in common.

Heltec ESP32+OLED+Lora, hardware testing

圖片
you can easily find some good boards from china, but most of them lack of accurate document... Hrere is an example; https://hackaday.io/project/26991-esp32-board-wifi-lora-32 the board looks good with lora and a 128x64 OLED, but the IIC and reset connection is important, since pin can be muxing easily, so every board could be different. pinMode(16,OUTPUT);  digitalWrite(16, LOW); // set GPIO16 low to reset OLED  delay(50);  digitalWrite(16, HIGH); // while OLED is running, must set GPIO16 to high  and, if needed, edit your Wire.begin() to Wire.begin(4,15); (4 = SDA 15 SCL)  i tested it with the Adafruit SSD1306 and the Acrobotics SSD1306 Librarys  both work.  Display size is 128x64 There are discussions on these boards on TＴＮ as a LORA node..or maybee single ch gateway? Heltec has a git :  https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee And there is another copy call TTGO https://de.aliexpress.com/item/TTGO-LORA32-868-915-Mhz-S...

micro SD card for ESP32, on lolin32 with OLED and heltec 32 lora oled

圖片
I have purchased 2 micro SD card holder for my esp project. First I would like to test with heltec esp32 lora oled module. this module uses: sck=05 MISO=19 MOSI=27 SS(lora)=18, then I assigned 21 for sd SS and there is a lib in esp32-arduino, which use SS default at 5 I took the example and use SD.begin(21), but I alway get the error: entry 0x40078a9c Card Mount Failed But I do saw once that it read out the sd card type and volume. Not sure it's the issue of lora sd card swithing, or it just can't work. The other esp32 card I have is an wemos esp32 oled, it did not leave me too much pins, I need to find out how to connect sd to it. But I have wemos D1 mini esp8266 on hand, and connect it as:  * The WeMos Micro SD Shield uses:  * D5, D6, D7, D8, 3V3 and G  *  * The shield uses SPI bus pins:  * D5 = CLK  * D6 = MISO  * D7 = MOSI  * D8 = CS It's not working with the example in the arduino IDE 1.8.5, which m...

AIS0. understanding AIS NMEA 0183: How it's coded

For my boat tracking system, I found out that using AIS format seems to be a good idea, at least I don't have to worry about how to present boat data, since there are already plenty things for do this on mobile phone or PC. Here is what I read: http://catb.org/gpsd/AIVDM.html Looking into AIS NMEA0183, it has much more application then I think. Such as MOB device, epir, aid to navigation device...etc, all are included. it use the first few char to indicate the function: Table 1. AIS talker IDs !AB NMEA 4.0 Base AIS station !AD MMEA 4.0 Dependent AIS Base Station !AI Mobile AIS station !AN NMEA 4.0 Aid to Navigation AIS station !AR NMEA 4.0 AIS Receiving Station !AS NMEA 4.0 Limited Base Station !AT NMEA 4.0 AIS Transmitting Station !AX NMEA 4.0 Repeater AIS station !BS Base AIS station (deprecated in NMEA 4.0) !SA NMEA 4.0 Physical Shore AIS Station It can also be used between device on boat for message communication, AIVDO The...
