Connecting FiPy to TTN with Dragino Gateway



  • I am pretty new to python and iOT but hoping to make some headway in basic testing. Using a FiPy connected to a PySense and looking to connect it to the Things Network via my Dragino LG01-N gateway. Far as I can tell the gateway is setup correctly. Its on the 915 Mhz Band (im in canada) and showing as "online" in TTN.

    Below is my code I am running to just test the connection from the PySense/FiPy via LoRa to TTN. Can anyone see an obvious errors or things I am missing? When I Run the code i just prints "not joined" continuously and never sees the gateway which it is sitting right next to in the office.

    from network import LoRa
    import socket
    import time
    import ubinascii

    Initialise LoRa in LORAWAN mode.

    Please pick the region that matches where you are using the device:

    Asia = LoRa.AS923

    Australia = LoRa.AU915

    Europe = LoRa.EU868

    United States = LoRa.US915

    lora = LoRa(mode=LoRa.LORAWAN, region=LoRa.US915)

    create an OTAA authentication parameters, change them to the provided credentials

    app_eui = ubinascii.unhexlify('myappeui')
    app_key = ubinascii.unhexlify('myappkey')
    #uncomment to use LoRaWAN application provided dev_eui
    #dev_eui = ubinascii.unhexlify('')

    join a network using OTAA (Over the Air Activation)

    #uncomment below to use LoRaWAN application provided dev_eui
    lora.join(activation=LoRa.OTAA, auth=(app_eui, app_key), timeout=0)
    #lora.join(activation=LoRa.OTAA, auth=(dev_eui, app_eui, app_key), timeout=0)

    wait until the module has joined the network

    while not lora.has_joined():
    time.sleep(2.5)
    print('Not yet joined...')

    print('Joined')

    create a LoRa socket

    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_LORA, socket.SOCK_RAW)

    set the LoRaWAN data rate

    s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_LORA, socket.SO_DR, 3)

    make the socket blocking

    (waits for the data to be sent and for the 2 receive windows to expire)

    s.setblocking(True)

    send some data

    s.send(bytes([0x01, 0x02, 0x03]))

    make the socket non-blocking

    (because if there's no data received it will block forever...)

    s.setblocking(False)

    get any data received (if any...)

    data = s.recv(64)
    print(data)
