- | ===== -. Gateways ===== | ||
- | ==== -. Single Channel Gateway ==== | ||
- | |||
- | The single channel gateway includes a LoRa transmission module (Dragino Shield) connected to a Raspberry Pi (2 or 3) as shown in Figure 2. Communication between the two modules is done over an SPI interface. | ||
- | |||
- | [{{ : | ||
- | |||
- | In order to assemble the gateway, start by making the wire connections: | ||
- | [{{ : | ||
- | [{{ : | ||
- | |||
- | Connect the Raspberry Pi to the Internet and install the packet forwarding software. The source code of the single channel packet forwarder is available on: [[https:// | ||
- | * Enable SPI on the Raspberry Pi using raspi-config | ||
- | * Download and unzip the source code: | ||
- | |||
- | <code bash> | ||
- | wget https:// | ||
- | unzip master.zip | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | * Install the wiring library: | ||
- | |||
- | <code bash> | ||
- | apt-get update | ||
- | apt-get install wiring | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | Compile the packet forwarder: | ||
- | <code bash> | ||
- | make all | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | For gcc version 4.6.3, a compilation error results in the following warning '' | ||
- | < | ||
- | CFLAGS = -std=c++0x -c -Wall -I include/ | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | Now, you need to configure the single channel packet forwarder. This is done in the {{ : | ||
- | |||
- | Finally, you can run the packet forwarder as root! | ||
- | |||
- | <code bash> | ||
- | nohup ./ | ||
