Connecting LoPy4 node to Nano-Gateway LoPy4
-
Disclaimer: New to the whole LoRa (2 weeks only)…
I setup the above gateway and as far as I understand it is waiting for a LoRa node to connect:
Gateway ID: b’807D3AFFFE935E98’

Client Node: Not joined LoRaWAN yet…The node is based partially on mqtt example (which works fine) and then LoRa connection code from OTAA example and gateway from lorawan-nano-gateway code.
How can I find out what am I doing wrong?
Just to mention: the nearest gateway from me that shows on TTN map is 5+ miles away and the area is suburb and hilly…so I do not expect my nano-gateway will connect to it…(waiting for real gateway to arrive soon).

@securigy The gateway connects to the TTN router via internet. It will not connect to another gateway. It will accept messages from any node, not only yours. Accordingly, nodes can connect to any gateway.
The pycom modules do not work well as gateway, even single-channel gateway. One you have a full service gateway set up, getting the node to work should be easy.
