Copy EUI & keys from console to code:

  • Device EUI lsb
  • Application EUI lsb
  • App Key msb

Change spreding factor and gain

Spreading Factor (SF #). The higher the SF (i.e. the slower the transmission), the longer the communication range. Large SFs allow longer communication range. However, large SFs also increase the time on air and, consequently, the off-period duration.

Gain? (second number).

Change in all lines!

  • za stacionarni node npr SF12, 14 (veći domet ali i potencijalno više grešaka)
  • za mapiranje iz vožnje SF7, 16 (u zraku je kratko)

Upload code and check

TTN mapper

TTN mapper služi za prikaz, analizu i mapiranje TTN LoRa mreže. Sučelje mu je u banani pa je najbolje pristupati direktno s parametrima:

Za pristup pojedinom node-u (korigiraj datum):

Za pristup pojedinom gateway-u:

Android aplikacija (korištenje GPS-a telefona i linkanje s LoRa node-om)
