-Download the {{ :sketch-1819.zip | basic sketches}} that implement a simple LoRa communication between the two modules: a client module and a server module. Open the sketches with Arduino IDE. Make sure to choose the correct ''Board'' and ''Port'' in the ''Tools'' menu.

 +Take a look at the source code in ''rf95_client.ino'' and ''rf95_server.ino''. Particularly, the ''setup'' function configures the radio parameters of your LoRa devices: 
 +  
 +  * Central frequency (freq) 
 +  * Spreading Factor (SF) 
 +  * Bandwidth (Bw) 
 +  * Coding Rate (CR)  
 +  * Transmit power (Pow) 
 + 
 +<code c++> 
 +rf95.setFrequency(frequency); 
 +// Setup Power,dBm 
 +rf95.setTxPower(13); 
 + 
 +// Setup Spreading Factor (6 ~ 12) 
 +rf95.setSpreadingFactor(7); 
 +   
 +// Setup BandWidth, option: 7800,10400,15600,20800,31250,41700,62500,125000,250000,500000 
 +//Lower BandWidth for longer distance. 
 +rf95.setSignalBandwidth(125000); 
 +   
 +// Setup Coding Rate:5(4/5),6(4/6),7(4/7),8(4/8)  
 +rf95.setCodingRate4(5); 
 +</code>

 +In order to reduce collisions, configure the central frequency of your LoRa modules as indicated below:
  
 ^  Group Number  ^   Frequency     ^ ^  Group Number  ^   Frequency     ^

 |       12            868.9      | |       12            868.9      |
  
-Note that the radio parameters of your LoRa devices: Spreading Factor (SF), Bandwidth (Bw), and Coding Rate (CR) are configured in the ''setup'' function of the sketches. when needed, you can modify these configurations.
