Nanogateway example code does not work. (Import class NanoGateway)

[lollisoft]

Hi,

I have setup my LoPy and I am able to upload code and run basic print commands within that code. Also I am able to print variables defined in the config.py.

What does not work is the nanogateway.py code. Importing the class does not work at all. I believe this does not yet require a firmware update.

I tried to place the nanogateway.py into the /flash/lib folder and also tried to place it into /flash.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Lothar

Hi @lollisoft could you please post the code that you are using to try and import the nanogateway.py library?

I think, I have tracked down the problem and I indeed think I have to update the firmware.

The nanogateway file imports a Timer and fails at that point. If I place a test variable above them, I am able to print it from main.py.

How do I update the firmware? Is there an option to do that from Atom (with the plugin), or do I need the board that comes with the twin pack?

I grabbed the code from GIT: https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/blob/master/examples/lorawan-nano-gateway/nanogateway.py

I run into the same issue, but I run the latest firmware.
My pymakr also shows interesting issues with 'const':

Any progess on your side @lollisoft?

@averell I was advised to use atom editor and the pymakr plugin. I followed that advise.

And I just had a look at the code within atom. The const definitions are there (I was not aware of that).
Atom does not complain about the unknown const name. So I assume, it is an issue with PyMakr.

Simply go the Atom route and install the plugin. It is not very complicated and I think the editor will have
other good features.

@lollisoft I see that you have resolved your issue. You do need the latest firmware in order to run the LoRaWAN nano-gateway.

@averell I strongly recommend moving to Atom plus the Pymakr plug-in, it's so much better than the original Pymakr IDE.

Yes, done. Now running my next long time test. Seems at least today working well.
