+During this challenge, you will benefit from the first experimental platform implementing an end-to-end LoRaWAN solution in Lebanon. The platform consists of the following elements:
   * Devices that communicate to one or more gateways via a wireless interface using single hop LoRa and implementing the LoRaWAN protocol. These devices are physically connected to sensors that generate data.

 ===== -. Devices =====
-==== -. PC Configuration ====
 In orde to program the LoRaWAN devices, you should verify the installation one your PC of the following software:
   * Arduino IDE
   * LMIC Library
-==== -. Arduino with Dragino Shield ====
 Devices in the LoRaWAN platform are implemented on Arduino boards with Dragino shields. The combined module as well as the basic configuration steps are presented in [[simple_lora_prototype|Simple Prototype of LoRa Communications]]. You can download the following sketch {{ :test-loraserver-comb-loraserver-dragino.zip |}} and modify it according to your preferences. Below you can find somme commented extracts of the sketch.

 You can also find another example of sketch to download: {{ :test-loraserver-moisture-on-move.ino.zip |}}. Here the message sending is not periodic but related to an event. For example, an infrared sensor detects a movement and triggers a signal for the device to send a LoRaWAN message. Note also that the join method used in this second sketch is Activation by Personalisation (ABP): the device address, the network session key, and the application session key are directly configured on the device.

 The Loraserver has a web interface for configuring the applications and devices on the platform. Full details for installing the software are provided on [[https://www.loraserver.io]].

 In order to enable OTAA join method, you have to make sure that the ''ABP activation'' button is unchecked.
