Lora: Documentation vs. Example code regards OTAA

[ssmith]

@jmarcelino, region=LoRa.US915,. This worked fine with 1.15. and here is lora config

lora.init(mode=LoRa.LORA, frequency=918900000, power_mode=LoRa.ALWAYS_ON, tx_power=20, bandwidth=LoRa.BW_125KHZ, sf=7,
              preamble=8, coding_rate=LoRa.CODING_4_8, tx_iq=False, rx_iq=False)

@ssmith
Could you add region=LoRa.US915 as a parameter in both lora.init() please?

[ssmith]

@jmarcelino It's there, that was a different config file from my previous test just to show the frequency. Here's the config from the nano_gateway file.

        self.lora = LoRa(
            mode=LoRa.LORA,
            region=LoRa.US915,
            frequency=self.frequency,
            bandwidth=self.bw,
            sf=self.sf,
            preamble=8,
            coding_rate=LoRa.CODING_4_5,
            tx_iq=True
        )

@jmarcelino I also tried AU915 with the same result. I'll try EU next. I assume with the generic FW now that it should accept it.

@jmarcelino Cannot try more, I think I expired my downlink message quota (of 10?) for the day.

[ssmith]

@robert-hh Are you going to TTN? I've sent thousands of messages there in a day during testing.

[ssmith]

@jmarcelino Wasn't able to get EU868 to work with LoRaWAN. Gave me a frequency error. I was able to set it up and send raw LoRa between 2 LoPy4's at both 868 and 915 bands without changing the FW. Looks like it is in the LoRaWAN stack.

[robert-hh]

@ssmith Yes, I'm using TTN. As far as I can could read, the limit is for downlink messages, from TTN to the node. Uplink, to TTN, I did not experience any limit.

[robert-hh]

@ssmith Besides that, no luck. Simple device-to-device works, the power getting out of the antenna looks similar, with the FiPy a little bit (25% = 2 dB) stronger. But that may be within the setup-variation.
