Powered up LoRa Gateway

Powered up the unboxed gateway.

 



 

It connected OK to the things network.


 

And here's its hardware info:



This explains how to make a TTN LoRa Gateway with a Draguino hat and a Raspberry Pi (RPi). I'm using a RPi Zero.

Next to program a 898MHz Heltec board to be the Node 001 compost heap temperature monitor.

Found the device (was being used for the smart meter)

Programmed it with:

WiFi_LoRa_32_temp_probe_3x_ds12b20_12_tola_lora

22:36:15.502 -> you can see OLED printed OLED initial done!
22:36:15.569 -> LoRa Initial success!
22:36:16.166 -> Boot number: 1
22:36:16.166 -> Wakeup was not caused by deep sleep
22:36:16.166 -> ESP32 Chip ID = C0BC0312CFA4
22:36:18.720 -> Starting ABP Mode
22:36:18.786 -> Looping..0 

22:36:46.794 -> 0 0 0.00
22:36:46.794 -> 0 0 0.00

22:36:46.794 -> Calling do_send()
22:36:46.794 -> txBuffer = 000
22:36:46.794 -> 2042118: Unknown event
22:36:46.860 -> Packet queued
22:36:46.860 -> Setup ESP32 to sleep for every 1800 Seconds
22:36:47.092 -> Going to sleep now 

 

But is not seen as:
