Deploying an End-to-End LoRaWAN Platform
Starting from September 2016, Saint-Joseph University of Beirut (USJ) will be deploying the first academic LoRa network in Lebanon. The network will support monitoring of micro-climate conditions in vineyards. Here below you can find a detailed description of the experimental platform implementing an end-to-end LoRaWAN solution.
-. End-nodes
-. Autonomo with LoRaBee
-. Arduino with Dragino Shield
-. Gateways
-. Single Channel Gateway
The single channel gateway includes a LoRa transmission module (the Dragino Shield) connected to a Raspberry Pi (2 or 3). The connection pins are identified in Figures 2 and 3. Communication is done on an SPI communication interface.
SPI needs to be enabled on the Raspberry Pi (use raspi-config) WiringPi: a GPIO access library written in C for the BCM2835 used in the Raspberry Pi. sudo apt-get install wiringpi see http://wiringpi.com Run packet forwarder as root
