FiPy as Gateway

[Xykon]

@amket Not sure what went wrong but I suggest re-flashing the device with the firmware updater and selecting the option "Erase flash file system" in the Communication window. This will make sure all custom scripts are erased from the device.

Did you use the code from https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/tree/master/examples/lorawan-nano-gateway

You should be able to delete your gateway in the TTN console by choosing settings and using the "Delete gateway ...." link at the bottom.

Hello @Xykon ,
I wanted to delete the application, I did it.
I did update the device with firmware making sure to erase the flash file.

Just wanted to confirm, which of the files from the link you mentioned above, I should be uploading to get my device working as nano gateway.

Sorry the question might seem lame, but just dont want the FiPy to stop working

@amket The whole process is explained in https://docs.pycom.io/chapter/tutorials/lora/lorawan-nano-gateway.html

For the nano gateway the files are main.py, config.py and nanogateway.py all of which should be uploaded to the /flash folder on the device after making the necessary modifications.

@amket How are you uploading the files?

[AmKet]

@xykon I did it over FTP on Terminal(ubuntu) .

I should also mention, after I wrote you a reply, I thought of adding another antenna for wifi and check, I am not very sure if thats the reason but it seemed to work . It entered REPL mode.

But it wasn't consistent. It breaks and enters REPL.
CAn you tell me if there is anything to do with Wifi connection

This post is deleted!

Sorry for the inconvinience. I did not notice it earlier. It is taking time to connect to wifi so it takes time to enter REPL.

@amket Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into adding some output such as "Connecting to Wifi network..." to make it more clear what is happening.
