Can I connect the LoPy module to the Raspberry?

[scg94]

Hello everyone,

I'm Santiago from Colombia...

I want to know if it is possible to create a network from LoPy to LoPy or nano-gateway and nodes, and connect this to Raspberry Pi to display all the data that has been acquired ...

If it is not possible, can I use the pins 40 and 41 (RX and TX) to get out the variables read to the Raspberry or some other Serial board reader ?.

Thank you.
Regards.

Hi @scg94

I'll be posting to our docs soon, an example of how to do this!

I've previously used UART (RX & TX) to talk between the RPi and the LoPy to use the LoPy as a LoRa node!

Hope that helps!

This is what I want to do, but I could not, can you help me?

Hi @scg94,

Have a look at this github repo, I will post this formally onto our docs later this week.

@bucknall Maybe it is by design, but doesn't this code in main.py:

        if data == b'send':
            send_lora("data")

cause the LoPy to always send the literal string "data" instead of the contents of the variable data?

@PiAir It's by design, although admittedly confusing haha. I have an update to this where I'm connecting a LoPy up to a Raspberry Pi 3 which is running Node Red. The idea is to use this as an easy config Nano-Gateway.

I'll update this when I get around to publishing this!
