God bless you Andreas. Please do more videos about Lora...
Hi, i have a question, why do u use Raspeberry for the gateway? I´ve watched many videos in internet about the "Gateway" and all of them use rasp or Dragino technology... is it for something special? i was thinking about using ESP32 maybe, but idk
Most current LoRa gateways use 8 channel chips and I do not know of an ESP32 software that supports this setup. Edit: Search for "ESXP1302 LoRa Gateway" for a software
Excellent video, I was wondering what's special about that HAT apart from the adaptability for the raspberry? As shown in minute 1:45 I see that it is possible to make the Gateway only using the raspberry with a LoRa module, in my case I have the LORA 433MHz E220-400T30D - LLCC68... am i right?
I see the limitation. There is no LoRa hat for 2.4 GHz, even though there's SX1280 Modules available.

Hi Andreas, I've been thinking about putting some sort of "car alarm" system together. I would work with a notification system via cellular. Except that I often park my car in remote area while I go fishing. These areas do not have cellular coverage at all. So I am thinking that LoRa might be a good fit? Unless there's something better out there for this specific use case? I am just expecting to receive message alerts with the sensors being triggered by the security system. (No need for large amount of data like video or images)
I made some videos about the capabilities of LoRa. So you have to decide if it fits your use case. Draw once the whole system end-to-end on a sheet of paper. Then you see al the problems you have to solve and where LoRa fits in.
Hello Andreas, Reading the comment threads below, it seems RPi Single Channel Gateways are no longer supported by TTN since it does not have downlink capabilities. I was actually about to begin the tutorial in this video.

Bonjour. Merci pour vos videos. Je vois que le hat est toujours vendu : le recommandez vous toujours en 2022 ? est-ce stable ? combien de ''clients'' lora peut on gérer avec cette passerelle ? merci
Great series. Thank you. Currently setting up a local GW until the iC880A-SPI is back in stock. I have an old Pi2 I have no use for and no GW in the area.

Hello. In our area, there is no existing LoRa gateway. I am also planning to develop a LoRa Node that utilizes the RFM95W operating at 915MHz (Asia). Does this mean that this single-channel gateway will work well? Thank you.

Hi Andreas, i'd like to ask you something. If i use the lora dragino shield 868M for the node side, should i use lora dragino hat with the same freq (868M) as the lora dragino shield on the gateway side? Nice vid as always btw
Andreas, I'm facing a problem trying to find my Gateway ID, when i use the comand as in the screenshot on the video it says "Unrecognized transceiver". What is that and what should i do? Thank you
hi Mr Spiess, i got the same message on serial monitor running abp sketch..ie EV_TXCOMPLETE(includes waiting for RX windows) m using arduino uno plus third party LORA shield (RF65) without own gateway .Does it means successfully transmitted ?coz no live data seen in TTN console. Also tried to migrate to helium blockchain (setup with integration) without any data transfer .pls advise .There is one nearby gateway , looking at gateway TTN map. how to connect and send Hello World to a stranger's gateway if i know their IDs?
Hi Andreas. Thank you very much for your efforts and your valuable information! I have some questions regarding this device. Is it somehow possible to configure this device as a node, rather than a gateway ? i simply need to get this thing hooked up to my own lora wan, then measure its rssi values relatively to the gps position and after that i would like to create a rssi heatmap and visualize signal strenght coverage. I will be very happy to chat with you about this. Best regards Eddi
These days, you find many boards with integrated LoRa transceivers and ready-made software for LoRaWAN. I would go with one of these. But it should also work with this board because all LoRa boards use very similar chips.
+Art Becker You are right. The advantage here is, that it is on a open band and you do not need a license (even if this would not be a problem for the two of us)
Hello Andreas! Thanks you for providing such good videos! I have project in mind, and I need to transmit data inside a filled grain bin, which technology would you suggest? Max distance would be around 15m, small packets around 8bytes every minute. Power consumption is a concern, running out of a 2000mAh 3.7V battery, lasting for at least 1 year. Is LoRa suitable?
When I follow the directions for cloning the github files in the instructions and try to open main.cpp in nano, the page is blank. In fact the read.me and the LICENSE docs in the single_chan_pkt_fwd directory are also blank. Obviously doing something wrong, but have no idea what.
Question If I don't care for LoRaWAN or getting on-line with my sensor data, what are other limiting factors of Single Channel LoRa gateway? Is the communication speed limited between sensors and such gateway? Is it difficult to find LoRa nodes which support to be configured in single channel mode?
Is there any significant advantage to using this method vs the $15 Wemos D1 Mini version (bearing in mind the price difference if you have to buy a Raspberry Pi?
Hi Andreas, Do you think we will be able to use this kind of Gateways in a professional application ? and what can we do or change to make this Gateway a multi-channel one, and can i use it with another server like wso2 iot ? thanks in advance !!
If you watch all my LoRa videos, you see, that many Telcos strarted to build networks based on this standard. So, I assume, it is good enough... The Single channel, however, is just to experiment. It does not fulfill the full standard.
Could you tell me the difference between hat and shield? I'm using Dragino LoRa shield(v98) for arduino, but I want to use it with Raspberry pi if it is possible.
Thanks for the video Andreas :) What would be the downsides of running my gateway in europe @ 433mhz? If I'm making my nodes to that specific gateway too and dont have much of anything else near me to rely on either? Will I conflict with any regulation or will Lora circle hate me much for it or something? PS. What does it mean that no downlink, does it mean I can only receive and not send any information?
Do you have any idea how to build an electric smart meter using lora? I'll follow these steps to interface Rpi and Lora and building the gateway. After that, I'll need help. Thanks!
Hello Andreas, very nice video! Could I just ask you a question? There is a "frequency mark" on the back of every RFM95 module for 915, 868, 433, or 315 MHz. But you can set the carrier frequency in the module´s registers, so why is here this mark, if you can choose and set frequency that you want.
Hey Andreas, could you show how you made those applications on thethings website? I'm trying to find a way of decoding what my LoRa node is sending to this newly built gateway and I can see things changing on my Pi every time a message is sent from the node, but I don't know what to do with the data. Could you help out in any way?
@@AndreasSpiess Sadly, I'm very stuck. The only video of yours that I've found that is on this topic was the one where you did the TTN Tracker. I couldn't find any other myself. Unfortunately, the code on that application is far too complex for me to understand and extract what I need. I'm after a very simple tutorial of connecting a simple LoRa node, to a Dragino+Pi Gateway thats already on thethingsnetwork and show information gathered by the LoRa device (in this case a heltec esp32LoRa). Nothing on the internet seems to help, in simple terms. And everyone seems to be making gateways, but not the devices.
Hey Andreas, I have problem 3:51 to 4:09, after registering my gateway on TTN, the status is "not connected". any solution? thanks for your great videos..
Thank you Andreas for the great videos, I really do like them. I have two questions regarding the Dragino LoraHat.reading the documentation, the blue led light up when the gateway is receiving packets, mine after is connected, the blue led turns on and stays on forever. another thing, it alway disconnect by itself even the dragino code is running on the raspberry pi, do you have any idea how to fix this. thanks again.
Hi Andreas, thanks for the great explanation. I have a question. Ispossible to create a gateway like this using an arduino board instead of Raspberry Pi? Thanks!
But using an additional ESP8266 module with wifi access connected to Arduino, I can have the connection to internet. In this case, I think should work.In any case, your recommendation is to use another platform instead of Arduino? Thanks!
I have a question, i have seen before that everyone who uses a gateway for LoRa sends the data to the things network, but i can create my own server to send the data there? or i have to use strictly the things network?
Hi, nice video but may I ask if this is LoRa or LoRaWan :) I wanted to use ttgo or esp32 with meshtastic to set up a lora mesh network and transmit and track company vehicles. Any video on how to do this and how to view the trucks on my website without coding as my site is on WordPress. Many thanks in advance Christopher
@AndreasSpiess Thank you for replying and your answer. Would you consider doing a video on how to track vehicles and how to use meshtastic lora and get the data onto a pc screen for observation and or back to a server/website. I'd like to be able to add it to my WordPress site if possible.
Can i ask what's the point of a gateway if it can only handle 1 channel? I mean if I have a handful of nodes they will probable crash with each other when 2 or more wants to send a message to the gateway. Or am I missunderstanding some concepts? Thank you very much for your videos, they are really useful
@@AndreasSpiess thanks for your answer! With that 1% ON time are you refering to airtime? Because you can change that by changing the spreading factor and then making the chance of colission bigger right? I will do some tests tho, thank you for your time I am doing my EE thesis with this topic!
Yes, on time or airtime. The SF influences how long the packet needs and how much it takes fron the airtime. Higher SF= less possible messages per time
Hi! Are there any new development on the "cheap LoRa gateway" frontier regarding multi-channel operation? is it still not possible to let frequency hopping do its job?
Hello Andreas Verry good Video, thanks! I have one Question. Did you also do a NODE with the same Lora/GPS HAT + RaspberryPi (not a Gateway show in this Video) and TTN connectivity?
Hello Mr. Spiess and thank you for your videos, at 7:51 you speak about disabling frequency hopping. For me it is unclear, where this has to be done. In the Sensor? Per downling message? Please help / thank you. Roger
It has to be done in the sensor because the single-channel gateways only listen to one frequency. This is an old video, and I am not sure if single-channel gateways still are supported by TTN.
@@AndreasSpiess Thank you. Yes, they are still suported, and mine (done according your video) is working since approx. 2 weeks without problems. According your answer ("that has to be done on the sensor"), the sensors have to come back to my lab, because a downlink can not be established with this gateway and there is no coverage from another gateway at my location of operation. Greetings from Fricktal!
Hi instructor, please let me know where we can find the server Ip address? For example, you have used #define SERVER1 "40.114.249.243" so which IP and where can I find it? My second question, the packet forwarder is very old and is no longer supports the OTAA method. Is there any other latest packet forwarder that can support the OTAA method? Thanks for your constant efforts
Your router usually knows the IP addresses of all your devices. You have to google for your particular router. Concerning packet forwarder: Maybe you watch my recent TTN V3 video?
@@AndreasSpiess Thanks for your response. Okay, but here we need to insert the IP Address of Raspberry pi or the router? I typed "ipconfig/all" and found this [IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.194]], I am confused we need to put the router IP address or the Raspberry pi??? I watched TTN V3, however, I didn't find that you have used the packet forwarder that supports OTAA. Can you please refer me to the one? Thank you
So i am pretty new to this and didn't pay attention that this video is almost 5 years old and i already got the components. If I'm not wrong u said in comments that this should still work. I tried and the gateway is connected to ttn and sends stat updates. But both lht65n sensors are just sending "accept join-request" and nothing more happens. Do u think it's a gateway problem or do i have to do more stuff than typing in the keys for the sensors? I have to get this to work somehow because i can't afford another 100+€ as a student
I have searched everywhere.. What link speeds can I expect LoRa to have in a line of sight 1km connection? Ive seen 300 kbps and then I have seen ~150 bps Thats a huge gap
I installed the Lora/GPS HAT equipment (868Mhz Wireless RPi Expander), I connected my raspberry pi to TTN, created device, but I have a problem with the OTAA join request. Could someone help me, please. Thanks
Hi! I am putting together the same project to do some tests but I have the 915MHz RFM95W, does that rpi software work the same for my lora module in 915mhz? If you have an example, can you send it to me? Thank you!. Greetings, very good project.
Thanks for the tutorial, it's being very useful. 1) in Traffic Gateway, I'm getting payload from several DevAddr, but next to me there is only my mote (dragino + arduino). 2) in the Traffic Gateway, I can see the packets arriving, but in the Application Data it does not show anything. Could you tell me what that might be?
Somebody spell out the difference between this and the "Meshtastic" LoRa network please? Will this only allow communication between pi's, or is this a way to extend the meshtastic network over the internet in the same way that DMR over IP works? TIA
Hey Andreas, Any chance of showing how to setup the lorawan pi hat as a node device and send data to TTN? I bought one a few weeks back but am struggling to find any information on how to get it to work.
@@AndreasSpiess No worries, its all subjective though, as it depends what you're using your rpi to do. To send some industrial points your monitoring would be extremely handy. As the esp devices don't like to talk modbus.
I want to make an object detection utilize raspberry pi 4. Later raspberry will send data to server. Can we use LoRa Dragino pi hat as gateway and node at once? so that i just use 1 raspberry and 1 LoRa pi hat.
great video! thanks! i tried it myself and its working but. when i close my ssh session the raspberry pi software stops working. tried putting the the sartup command in corntab wihout any luck. do you or have a suggestion on how to solve that issue?
Hi, Andreas :) I'm very interesting with this video. But, I want to know about can lorawan gateway created like this load more than one node? I plan to create it, but I really dont know about it and I cannot find the reference yet.
Dear Andreas, many thanks for the great tutorial. I followed all the steps on your video on the same hardware as you had. Unfortunately the status on the TTN remains "disconnected". Also no errors whatsoever are reported on the debug console. Is there a way for more extended debugging? Also can the IPv6 "Lite" prevent the gateway from connecting in some way? Beste Grüße Georgi
hey @seeman8484 i have exactly same problem with you , i have same hardware but status on TTN still "disconnected" . have you found solution yet ? i have change IP address to au915.thethings.meshed.com.au base on www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/gateways/packet-forwarder/semtech-udp/#connect-a-gateway_server-addresses and change freq to 915Mhz . @Andreas Spiess
Thanks you Andreas for this great video! I started a single channel Lora gateway to get my feets wet with The Things Network. Do you know why the single channel packet forwarder (from the Charles Hallard fork) software works on my rpi 2 but not the rpi 4? I suspect wiringpi but I can't move forward...
@@AndreasSpiess It works now on the rpi4 with wiringpi updated to v2.52 : wiringpi.com/wiringpi-updated-to-2-52-for-the-raspberry-pi-4b/ . Although I understand what he might feel, it is sad that the main developer is fed up with trolls...
Hi Andreas, Thanks for your work and introducing me to the world of LoRa. I followed this tutorial using a RPI3 + Dragino Lora/GPS Hat. At first I was getting the 'Unrecognised Transceiver' error. However, I tried it with a RPI2 and it worked fine :) However, now when I register my gateway with TTN, my status appears as 'not connected'. I've read on some forums that this is because my gateway is single channel, can you tell me if this is correct?*** Also, my next plan is to set up a node using your tutorial in #117. Do you think regardless of the 'not connected' issue above I willbe able to connect my node with gateway? Thanks again for all your work! *** Oh silly me, I just saw the pinned comment, apologies, I will try it now!
@@AndreasSpiess Thanks for the reply, yes I switched over to github.com/bokse001/dual_chan_pkt_fwd however, I'm having the same problems as Floris and Henry in Amin's pinned post...
Hi andreas, Is it possible to build uplink and downlink LORAWAN with less cost and why can't we develop downlink using arduino and lora. can we include 2 different channel, 2 SF to obtain downlink
You do not need 2 channels for downlink, it happens all on the same channel. I think, I will build another single channel gateway which should be able to downlink.
I do not use this board. You have to connect the different pins of the Hat with the same pins of the MKR. Then it should work. Pay attention if the MKR runs on 3.3 volts.
Thanks for your video, always. By the way, you said it can only support one channel. Does that mean it(Dragino hat_868MHz) cannot communicate with another dragino shield_433MHz?
@@AndreasSpiess my both devices are using 433 mhz .how could i establish the communication between the node and the gateway through ttn or is there any other way as ttn doesnt support 433mhz
hi, thanks for the great explanation, but i have a question, what if i want to create a private lora network without connecting to ttn, is it possible?
As I wrote in my last comment: Remote diagnostics is not easy. So you have to search yourself. Maybe you find help on the TTN website. Test step by step to try to isolate the issue.
Vielen Dank für das ausführliche Video leider funktioniert bei mir die Kommunikation zwischen TTN und dem GW nicht. Beim Starten des Skriptes fällt mit bereits, auf das die Gateway-ID wahrscheinlich nicht stimmt.. SX1276 detected, starting. Gateway ID: 00:00:00:ff:ff:00:00:00 Listening at SF7 on 868.100000 Mhz. Ist Ihnen diesen Fehler eventuell bekannt? Ich verwende als Gateway folgende Komponenten: - Rasp. A - HAT Shield LoRA mit GPM (Dasselbe auf Ihrem Video) Ich bedanke mich schon im Voraus für Ihre Unterstützung. Liebe Grüsse aus Bern
Hast du SPI auf dem Pi enabled? (Wir sind hier alle per Du). Geh bitte nochmals genau nach der Anleitung in der Videobeschreibung vor. Dann haben glaube ich die IP Adressen der TTN server gewechselt (das ist ein altes Video). Bitte auch prüfen.
@@AndreasSpiess Hallo Andreas, vielen Dank für deinen schnelle Reaktion auf meine Frage. SPI habe ich aktiviert und als Server Adresse Verwende ich "eu1.cloud.thethings.network" Könnte es eventuell daran liegen, dass ich das Gerät über Wifi und nicht über ETH Verbunden habe? Bei TTN habe ich als Frequenzbereich "EU_863_870_ROAMING_DRAFT" gewählt. Vielen Dank für deine Unterstützung. Liebe Grüsse Ueli
Ich habe nun das Raspberry mit einem anderem getauscht und die Gateway-ID wird nun auch korrekt angezeigt. Leider wird angezeigt das mein GW immer noch nicht mit dem TTN verbunden ist. Ich gehe nun davon aus, dass eventuell die Server-Adresse "eu1.cloud.thethings.network" oder der Frequenzbereich "EU_863_870_ROAMING_DRAFT" nicht stimmt. Ich werde mal Googlen um herauszufinden welche der Angaben nicht korrekt ist. Gruss Ueli
Die frequenzen scheinen zu stimmen. In der Anleitung siehst du wie du die ID ansehen kannst. Ich glaube nicht, dass 00:00:00:ff:ff:00:00:00 richtig ist und vermutlich die Kommunikation mit dem Chip auf dem board nicht funktioniert. Ich kann leider nicht remote debuggen. Also musst du dir selbst weiter helfen.
If you would have looked at the LoRaWAN specification you would have seen the first sentence: "This document describes the LoRaWAN™ network protocol which is optimized for battery- 3 powered end-devices that may be either mobile or mounted at a fixed location"
Great Tutorial! Does anyone know if it is possible to do this with a 433 MHz module? The choice of frequency is transparent to TTN, isn't it? Or do you need to change something?
Andreas, just got my RasPi LoRa Hat in and was trying to follow your instructions. Sorry but I am new to the Pi and LoRa but want to get the LoRa up and running to start testing. I got the SPI enabled but got lost your Step 4. Typed in at the command prompt and got up a GNY nana screen and not sure what to do from there to add the rest if the information. You RUclips posts have been extremely helpful. David Comfort, Texas
Just ordered a LoPy-PyCom board. Hope to have better luck with it. It already has a smart phone drag and drop type interface. Will have to check out issues with a single channel.

These days, you find many boards with integrated LoRa transceivers and ready-made software for LoRaWAN. I would go with one of these. But it should also work with this board because all LoRa boards use very similar chips.
Useful & interesting. Thank you. It reminds me of the early days of ham packet radio.
+Art Becker You are right. The advantage here is, that it is on a open band and you do not need a license (even if this would not be a problem for the two of us)
I am edinsson from Colombia, I would like to know without these same steps I must follow them to configure a gateway frequency from the United States
You have to chose the frequencies of your country. You should find the info in the forum of the The Things Network.
Hello Andreas! Thanks you for providing such good videos! I have project in mind, and I need to transmit data inside a filled grain bin, which technology would you suggest? Max distance would be around 15m, small packets around 8bytes every minute. Power consumption is a concern, running out of a 2000mAh 3.7V battery, lasting for at least 1 year. Is LoRa suitable?
I definitively would give LoRa a try. Just pay attention that you do not have too much metal between the sender and the receiver.
When I follow the directions for cloning the github files in the instructions and try to open main.cpp in nano, the page is blank. In fact the read.me and the LICENSE docs in the single_chan_pkt_fwd directory are also blank. Obviously doing something wrong, but have no
idea what.
Question If I don't care for LoRaWAN or getting on-line with my sensor data, what are other limiting factors of Single Channel LoRa gateway? Is the communication speed limited between sensors and such gateway? Is it difficult to find LoRa nodes which support to be configured in single channel mode?
Single channel gateways are also LoRaWAN gateways. If you do not want to use LoRaWAN you can watch my video concerning LoRa point-to-point
@@AndreasSpiess thanks, but can LoRa nodes also talk to each other, if I do not follow LoRaWAN protocol? And built my own private net
Is there any significant advantage to using this method vs the $15 Wemos D1 Mini version (bearing in mind the price difference if you have to buy a Raspberry Pi?
There is no advantage. Unless you build a full blown multi channel gateway with the PPi
Andreas Spiess Thanks - I have a Wemos, so I'll start with that...
Hi Andreas,
Do you think we will be able to use this kind of Gateways in a professional application ? and what can we do or change to make this Gateway a multi-channel one, and can i use it with another server like wso2 iot ? thanks in advance !!
If you watch all my LoRa videos, you see, that many Telcos strarted to build networks based on this standard. So, I assume, it is good enough...
The Single channel, however, is just to experiment. It does not fulfill the full standard.
Could you tell me the difference between hat and shield?
I'm using Dragino LoRa shield(v98) for arduino, but I want to use it with Raspberry pi if it is possible.
Usually additional boards are called shields if they fit an Arduino and hat if they fit a Raspberry
Thanks a lot sir !!
Thanks for the video Andreas :) What would be the downsides of running my gateway in europe @ 433mhz? If I'm making my nodes to that specific gateway too and dont have much of anything else near me to rely on either? Will I conflict with any regulation or will Lora circle hate me much for it or something? PS. What does it mean that no downlink, does it mean I can only receive and not send any information?
+gelisob I do not know about 433 because it makes no sense for me. No downlink means, you cannot send messages back to your sensors.
Sir, Should I use the same transceiver for both gateway and nodes?
Yes. The 1 channel gateway uses the same module
Do you have any idea how to build an electric smart meter using lora? I'll follow these steps to interface Rpi and Lora and building the gateway. After that, I'll need help. Thanks!
I never did that. But maybe you divide the problem into several smaller projects and go for one after the other?
Hello Andreas,
Thanks for the Video. What is the reason that it does not run on a Raspberry 4? It worked on a RPi3+.
It did not exist back then ;-)
Hello Andreas, very nice video!
Could I just ask you a question? There is a "frequency mark" on the back of every RFM95 module for 915, 868, 433, or 315 MHz. But you can set the carrier frequency in the module´s registers, so why is here this mark, if you can choose and set frequency that you want.
Because of the filters on the board.
@@AndreasSpiess Oh, I see. Thanks a lot! :)
Hey Andreas, could you show how you made those applications on thethings website? I'm trying to find a way of decoding what my LoRa node is sending to this newly built gateway and I can see things changing on my Pi every time a message is sent from the node, but I don't know what to do with the data. Could you help out in any way?
Maybe you watch my other videos about LoRa. Especially the ones with Node-Red. There you should find some info.
@@AndreasSpiess Sadly, I'm very stuck. The only video of yours that I've found that is on this topic was the one where you did the TTN Tracker. I couldn't find any other myself. Unfortunately, the code on that application is far too complex for me to understand and extract what I need. I'm after a very simple tutorial of connecting a simple LoRa node, to a Dragino+Pi Gateway thats already on thethingsnetwork and show information gathered by the LoRa device (in this case a heltec esp32LoRa). Nothing on the internet seems to help, in simple terms. And everyone seems to be making gateways, but not the devices.
Hey Andreas, I have problem 3:51 to 4:09, after registering my gateway on TTN, the status is "not connected". any solution? thanks for your great videos..
Maybe you ask somebody on TTN. There is also a newer version of the gateway software available (see other comment)
Hi, can you please tell me how to set frequency to 865Mhz using "single_chan_pkt_fwd" library for raspberry pi with lora hat
I already have a Pi set up for Home Assistant. Can this be installed along side of HA or does it need a dedicated board to run?
I do not know Home Assistant so I cannot answer the question.
Thank you Andreas for the great videos, I really do like them. I have two questions regarding the Dragino LoraHat.reading the documentation, the blue led light up when the gateway is receiving packets, mine after is connected, the blue led turns on and stays on forever. another thing, it alway disconnect by itself even the dragino code is running on the raspberry pi, do you have any idea how to fix this. thanks again.
I do no more remember these details. And currently, I do not use this shield anymore. I use the RFM95 boards and ESP chips
Hi Andreas, thanks for the great explanation. I have a question. Ispossible to create a gateway like this using an arduino board instead of Raspberry Pi? Thanks!
No. You need an internet connection. Maybe you look at my LoRa playlist where you find other gateways.
But using an additional ESP8266 module with wifi access connected to Arduino, I can have the connection to internet. In this case, I think should work.In any case, your recommendation is to use another platform instead of Arduino? Thanks!
I have a question, i have seen before that everyone who uses a gateway for LoRa sends the data to the things network, but i can create my own server to send the data there? or i have to use strictly the things network?
You can create your own server if you want.
@@AndreasSpiess thankss
@Andreas Spiess, can you please tell me if there is any modification to send data using 865-867MHz. In my country we have to use 865-867MHz
Maybe you watch my LoRa videos? In Europe, all use these frequencies
@@AndreasSpiess can you pls tell me which video number. Need to set it up for 865MHz
I'm sorry, I can't quite understand 1:32 - Raspbian chasey release?
The release back then was called "Jessie". Now it is "Buster"
Thank you Andreas. I have done using Buster but my gateway is 433MHz and I can't seem to find it on TTN.
Hi, nice video but may I ask if this is LoRa or LoRaWan :)
I wanted to use ttgo or esp32 with meshtastic to set up a lora mesh network and transmit and track company vehicles. Any video on how to do this and how to view the trucks on my website without coding as my site is on WordPress.
Many thanks in advance
Christopher
This is LoRaWAN (The Things Network). I never did a video about car tracking.
@AndreasSpiess Thank you for replying and your answer.
Would you consider doing a video on how to track vehicles and how to use meshtastic lora and get the data onto a pc screen for observation and or back to a server/website.
I'd like to be able to add it to my WordPress site if possible.
Can i ask what's the point of a gateway if it can only handle 1 channel? I mean if I have a handful of nodes they will probable crash with each other when 2 or more wants to send a message to the gateway.
Or am I missunderstanding some concepts?
Thank you very much for your videos, they are really useful
You are right, of course. But law only allows 1% ON time per node. So the chance of collisions is quite small. But they are allowed in this protocol
@@AndreasSpiess thanks for your answer!
With that 1% ON time are you refering to airtime? Because you can change that by changing the spreading factor and then making the chance of colission bigger right?
I will do some tests tho, thank you for your time I am doing my EE thesis with this topic!
Yes, on time or airtime. The SF influences how long the packet needs and how much it takes fron the airtime. Higher SF= less possible messages per time
Hi! Are there any new development on the "cheap LoRa gateway" frontier regarding multi-channel operation? is it still not possible to let frequency hopping do its job?
I did not follow this route. Just ordered another gateway from RAK for 130$. The prices are coming down...
RAK looks promising-- looking forward for your review
Hello Andreas
Verry good Video, thanks! I have one Question. Did you also do a NODE with the same Lora/GPS HAT + RaspberryPi (not a Gateway show in this Video) and TTN connectivity?
I do not remember that I built a node with an RPi. Would not make a lot of sense for me because LoRa nodes ae low power and the RPI not exactly...
Hello Mr. Spiess and thank you for your videos,
at 7:51 you speak about disabling frequency hopping. For me it is unclear, where this has to be done. In the Sensor? Per downling message? Please help / thank you.
Roger
It has to be done in the sensor because the single-channel gateways only listen to one frequency.
This is an old video, and I am not sure if single-channel gateways still are supported by TTN.
@@AndreasSpiess Thank you.
Yes, they are still suported, and mine (done according your video) is working since approx. 2 weeks without problems.
According your answer ("that has to be done on the sensor"), the sensors have to come back to my lab, because a downlink can not be established with this gateway and there is no coverage from another gateway at my location of operation.
Greetings from Fricktal!
Could I use it for home automation without connecting/registering to the 'cloud' (TTN)? Would I have to set up some sort of network server?
Maybe you watch my LoRa videos beginning with the introduction. There your questions will be answered, I think.
I wish i could afford setting up something like this were I live, I belie in this technology. this has so many use cases
Maybe somebody already did it? Did you check the TTN or Helium coverage map?
Dear Andreas, How can I check received data in Raspberry Pi from LX Terminal? Thanks for your support. Grettings from Medellin Colombia
This is an old video. So I do not remember well. I think you should see it in the log of the running packet forwarder.
Is that working with Raspberry 1 B+? or only with 2 and 3? thanks in advance
I assume it works with them, however I did not test
Andreas Spiess thank you!!! I will test it and get back to you!
Hi instructor, please let me know where we can find the server Ip address? For example, you have used #define SERVER1 "40.114.249.243" so which IP and where can I find it?
My second question, the packet forwarder is very old and is no longer supports the OTAA method. Is there any other latest packet forwarder that can support the OTAA method? Thanks for your constant efforts
Your router usually knows the IP addresses of all your devices. You have to google for your particular router.
Concerning packet forwarder: Maybe you watch my recent TTN V3 video?
@@AndreasSpiess Thanks for your response. Okay, but here we need to insert the IP Address of Raspberry pi or the router? I typed "ipconfig/all" and found this [IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.194]], I am confused we need to put the router IP address or the Raspberry pi???
I watched TTN V3, however, I didn't find that you have used the packet forwarder that supports OTAA. Can you please refer me to the one? Thank you
Can you please help me with me project?? i am trying to connect Lora GPS/shield to Arduino uno via dragino gateway lgo2 to TTN
I share my knowledge in my videos. So you have to find your way using google :-(
So i am pretty new to this and didn't pay attention that this video is almost 5 years old and i already got the components. If I'm not wrong u said in comments that this should still work. I tried and the gateway is connected to ttn and sends stat updates. But both lht65n sensors are just sending "accept join-request" and nothing more happens. Do u think it's a gateway problem or do i have to do more stuff than typing in the keys for the sensors? I have to get this to work somehow because i can't afford another 100+€ as a student
Maybe you watch my newest videos about LoRa V3. It needs some changes and maybe you will get it working.
How can we create a LoRa gateway without connecting to TTN? Do you have a tutorial on this?
No. I only have one for LoRa direct connections
I have searched everywhere.. What link speeds can I expect LoRa to have in a line of sight 1km connection? Ive seen 300 kbps and then I have seen ~150 bps
Thats a huge gap
And everything in between. Maybe you watch my specific LoRa videos, where I talk a little about link speeds. Generally, it is very small.
In your range video it was mentioned 20Watts output power. Did you mean 20dbm?
Yes. 20 watts in ISM bands would be illegal.
I installed the Lora/GPS HAT equipment (868Mhz Wireless RPi Expander), I connected my raspberry pi to TTN, created device, but I have a problem with the OTAA join request. Could someone help me, please. Thanks
I cannot do remote debugging. Maybe you go to the TTN forum?
Hi! I am putting together the same project to do some tests but I have the 915MHz RFM95W, does that rpi software work the same for my lora module in 915mhz? If you have an example, can you send it to me? Thank you!. Greetings, very good project.
You chose the frequency in your sketch.
Thanks for the tutorial, it's being very useful.
1) in Traffic Gateway, I'm getting payload from several DevAddr, but next to me there is only my mote (dragino + arduino).
2) in the Traffic Gateway, I can see the packets arriving, but in the Application Data it does not show anything.
Could you tell me what that might be?
I am no TTN specialist. Maybe you go to the TTN forum for debugging help. There you find the real "cracks"
Somebody spell out the difference between this and the "Meshtastic" LoRa network please? Will this only allow communication between pi's, or is this a way to extend the meshtastic network over the internet in the same way that DMR over IP works? TIA
They have very different goals and concepts. Maybe you watch the introductory videos about both on this channel?
Hey Andreas,
Any chance of showing how to setup the lorawan pi hat as a node device and send data to TTN? I bought one a few weeks back but am struggling to find any information on how to get it to work.
I do not see an RPI as a good idea for a LoRa node. LoRa is low power. The Raspberry not really...
@@AndreasSpiess No worries, its all subjective though, as it depends what you're using your rpi to do. To send some industrial points your monitoring would be extremely handy. As the esp devices don't like to talk modbus.
Would you share how to use LoRa Bee and ESP8266 or Arduino Nuno, please...?
Lorabee is just an RFM95 module with pins and an antenna connector.
@@AndreasSpiess Thank you...I solved it :)
LoRa Bee + Arduino Nano Schematic: www.disk91.com/2019/technology/lora/hoperf-rfm95-and-arduino-a-low-cost-lorawan-solution/

I want to make an object detection utilize raspberry pi 4. Later raspberry will send data to server. Can we use LoRa Dragino pi hat as gateway and node at once? so that i just use 1 raspberry and 1 LoRa pi hat.
Most people use cheaper MCus like arduinos or ESP8266 for LoRa nodes.
great video! thanks! i tried it myself and its working but. when i close my ssh session the raspberry pi software stops working. tried putting the the sartup command in corntab wihout any luck. do you or have a suggestion on how to solve that issue?
I am no Raspberry specialist. So, you have to ask somebody else.
Hi, Andreas :) I'm very interesting with this video. But, I want to know about
can lorawan gateway created like this load more than one node? I plan to create it, but I really dont know about it and I cannot find the reference yet.
Such a gateway can serve many nodes. Depending on the frequency the nodes send data and how long they need for transmission.
I'm trying use this for OTAA connect to my dragino shield but not success , is this possible using OTAA using this gateway
Maybe you go to the TTN forum. I never used OTAA
Thank you. i have a plobleme ,i don't know how i connect raspbarry pi on reseau lora ? plz can you help me

@@AndreasSpiess ok Thank you
@@aminaboujnen7378 maybe yo have rpi 4?
Dear Andreas,
many thanks for the great tutorial. I followed all the steps on your video on the same hardware as you had. Unfortunately the status on the TTN remains "disconnected". Also no errors whatsoever are reported on the debug console. Is there a way for more extended debugging? Also can the IPv6 "Lite" prevent the gateway from connecting in some way?
Beste Grüße
Georgi
This is an old video and if I remember right, TTN changed its IP addresses. Maybe you check it?
hey @seeman8484 i have exactly same problem with you , i have same hardware but status on TTN still "disconnected" . have you found solution yet ? i have change IP address to au915.thethings.meshed.com.au base on www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/gateways/packet-forwarder/semtech-udp/#connect-a-gateway_server-addresses
and change freq to 915Mhz . @Andreas Spiess
Thanks you Andreas for this great video! I started a single channel Lora gateway to get my feets wet with The Things Network. Do you know why the single channel packet forwarder (from the Charles Hallard fork) software works on my rpi 2 but not the rpi 4? I suspect wiringpi but I can't move forward...
Wiringpi will no more be advanced by the developer and I do not know if it was ported to buster.
@@AndreasSpiess It works now on the rpi4 with wiringpi updated to v2.52 : wiringpi.com/wiringpi-updated-to-2-52-for-the-raspberry-pi-4b/ . Although I understand what he might feel, it is sad that the main developer is fed up with trolls...
@@etmoimeme great, you fixed my issue :). Thx a lot!!!
Would a Gateway like this still have the same range and reliability is the first gateway?
Yes. But it only has one channel and only one SF at one time. The "big" gateways have 8 parallel channels and can adapt to all SF on the fly.
Does it cost 300 Swiss Dollars? When did the Swiss start using dollars?
We are well known we tKe all currencies ;-)
Hi Andreas,
Thanks for your work and introducing me to the world of LoRa.
I followed this tutorial using a RPI3 + Dragino Lora/GPS Hat. At first I was getting the 'Unrecognised Transceiver' error. However, I tried it with a RPI2 and it worked fine :)
However, now when I register my gateway with TTN, my status appears as 'not connected'. I've read on some forums that this is because my gateway is single channel, can you tell me if this is correct?***
Also, my next plan is to set up a node using your tutorial in #117. Do you think regardless of the 'not connected' issue above I willbe able to connect my node with gateway?
Thanks again for all your work!
*** Oh silly me, I just saw the pinned comment, apologies, I will try it now!
First, you have to solve the "not connected" issue. Otherwise, your node cannot connect through the gateway.
@@AndreasSpiess Thanks for the reply, yes I switched over to github.com/bokse001/dual_chan_pkt_fwd however, I'm having the same problems as Floris and Henry in Amin's pinned post...
Hi andreas,
Is it possible to build uplink and downlink LORAWAN with less cost and why can't we develop downlink using arduino and lora. can we include 2 different channel, 2 SF to obtain downlink
You do not need 2 channels for downlink, it happens all on the same channel. I think, I will build another single channel gateway which should be able to downlink.
yeah i will be highly appreciated if i got downlink code. Thanks for reply andreas
hello, is it possible to create a private network and recieve the packets from a node on the gateway? and how
Maybe you watch my LoRa one to one video. And you can copy all code from TTN and build your own network (if you have the time). It is open source.
H,mm this does not work. Has something changed? Did everything you did here and gateway never shows up as connected
Maybe you go to the TTN forum. There you should find the newest software.
Can you advise how I can how I can you the Dragino Hat with the Arduino MKR WAN 1300?
I do not use this board. You have to connect the different pins of the Hat with the same pins of the MKR. Then it should work. Pay attention if the MKR runs on 3.3 volts.
Is this tutorial still working? I tried to register the gateway, but the website has completely changed
I assume things changed quite a lot since then
Thanks for your video, always.
By the way, you said it can only support one channel.
Does that mean it(Dragino hat_868MHz) cannot communicate with another dragino shield_433MHz?
Both devices have to use the same frequency.
@@AndreasSpiess my both devices are using 433 mhz .how could i establish the communication between the node and the gateway through ttn or is there any other way as ttn doesnt support 433mhz
Is the single channel limitation from hardware or software?
The LoRa HW is either single or multi channel
What kind of range can you get using this cheap gateway and the button sensor ?
Which button sensor do you mean? You find a few videos in my LoRa playlist about range
hi, thanks for the great explanation, but i have a question, what if i want to create a private lora network without connecting to ttn, is it possible?
Yes, but complicated.
Can i use raspberry pi 2 with RPi Hat in order to to build lora gateway ??
Yes. But I am not sure if these single channel gateways are still supported.
My gateway stopped showing connected after a while. Everything working at gateway level. Packet forwarding working. Pls help
As I wrote in my last comment: Remote diagnostics is not easy. So you have to search yourself. Maybe you find help on the TTN website. Test step by step to try to isolate the issue.
Vielen Dank für das ausführliche Video leider funktioniert bei mir die Kommunikation zwischen TTN und dem GW nicht.
Beim Starten des Skriptes fällt mit bereits, auf das die Gateway-ID wahrscheinlich nicht stimmt..

Hast du SPI auf dem Pi enabled? (Wir sind hier alle per Du). Geh bitte nochmals genau nach der Anleitung in der Videobeschreibung vor. Dann haben glaube ich die IP Adressen der TTN server gewechselt (das ist ein altes Video). Bitte auch prüfen.
@@AndreasSpiess Hallo Andreas, vielen Dank für deinen schnelle Reaktion auf meine Frage.
SPI habe ich aktiviert und als Server Adresse Verwende ich

Könnte es eventuell daran liegen, dass ich das Gerät über Wifi und nicht über ETH Verbunden habe?
Bei TTN habe ich als Frequenzbereich "EU_863_870_ROAMING_DRAFT" gewählt.
Vielen Dank für deine Unterstützung.
Liebe Grüsse Ueli
Ich habe nun das Raspberry mit einem anderem getauscht und die Gateway-ID wird nun auch korrekt angezeigt. Leider wird angezeigt das mein GW immer noch nicht mit dem TTN verbunden ist. Ich gehe nun davon aus, dass eventuell die Server-Adresse "eu1.cloud.thethings.network" oder der Frequenzbereich "EU_863_870_ROAMING_DRAFT" nicht stimmt. Ich werde mal Googlen um herauszufinden welche der Angaben nicht korrekt ist. Gruss Ueli
Die frequenzen scheinen zu stimmen. In der Anleitung siehst du wie du die ID ansehen kannst. Ich glaube nicht, dass 00:00:00:ff:ff:00:00:00 richtig ist und vermutlich die Kommunikation mit dem Chip auf dem board nicht funktioniert. Ich kann leider nicht remote debuggen. Also musst du dir selbst weiter helfen.
@@AndreasSpiess Die Problematik mit der GW-ID konnte ich nun lösen, die Ursache war mein Raspberry.. :)
In "single_chan_pkt_fwd" library,where and what all should i change to get range of 865-867Mhz.
You do not need to change anything
Hi, can you please tell me how to set frequency to 865Mhz using "single_chan_pkt_fwd" library for raspberry pi with lora hat
Thanks for the wonderful video.
What's the range I should expect with the dragino hat?
The same as all other boards.
what protocol did you use in this project? and how many end-node devices can you connect to the gateway?
The loraWan protocol. Please watch all my LoRa videos for clarification
But in my acknowledge, with lorawan protocol, you can not create the communication between 2 sx127x.
Andreas Spiess, in your video, you said that lora protocol, but lora is the modulation, it's not a protocol
If you would have looked at the LoRaWAN specification you would have seen the first sentence: "This document describes the LoRaWAN™ network protocol which is optimized for battery-
3 powered end-devices that may be either mobile or mounted at a fixed location"
Hey andres, what are ttn alternative networks that work with lora ? Are those work with this gateways
Thanks
+iboy I do not know of another public network with LoRa. You can build your own network and connect it to the internet. But I have never done it
You can build your own with loraserver.io
Great Tutorial! Does anyone know if it is possible to do this with a 433 MHz module? The choice of frequency is transparent to TTN, isn't it? Or do you need to change something?
Maybe you ask this question in the TTN forum?
Hi andreas. Good video. Maybe it is a good idea to talk about the ttn fair access policy. About what it is en what it is for.
I talked about it in one of my LoRa videos. But so far, it is not enforced
I just don't know what lora gateway is, what is it used for?
Maybe you watch my LoRa playlist?
Andreas, just got my RasPi LoRa Hat in and was trying to follow your instructions. Sorry but I am new to the Pi and LoRa but want to get the LoRa up and running to start testing. I got the SPI enabled but got lost your Step 4. Typed in at the command prompt and got up a GNY nana screen and not sure what to do from there to add the rest if the information.
You RUclips posts have been extremely helpful.

Just read Jeff Davis' comment below. The Raspi/Lora hat gateways do no more work. I hope, they will find a solution.
Just ordered a LoPy-PyCom board. Hope to have better luck with it. It already has a smart phone drag and drop type interface. Will have to check out issues with a single channel. I only need a single channel for this application. Gate Access to a facility where my customers only to access the gateway.
Is it possible to have a gateway not connected to the TTN? Just process the messages on your private server?
You can install the TTN backend on your servers if you want.
