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.
After making the correct connection, you need to install the packet forwarder software on the Raspberry Pi. The source code is available on: https://github.com/samerlahoud/single_chan_pkt_fwd. In order to proceed, you need to :
- Enable SPI on the Raspberry Pi using raspi-config
- Download and unzip the source code:
wget https://github.com/hallard/single_chan_pkt_fwd/archive/master.zip unzip master.zip
- Install the wiring library:
apt-get update apt-get install wiring
- Compile and run the packet forwarder as root.
