New firmware release 1.6.7.b1 (LoRaWAN Nano Gateway with TTN example!!)

[zmrzli]

I am not sure why there is no response to this problem... previously posted, so here it is again.
Am I the only trying to do this, or I am missing something obvious...?

Is is possible to change SSID of wipi in AP mode?

Following:

import machine
import os
import pycom

pycom.heartbeat(True)

uart = machine.UART(0, 115200) # disable these two lines if you don't want serial access
os.dupterm(uart)

from network import WLAN
wl = WLAN()

#trying to change AP properties:

original_ssid = "MyNode"
wl.ssid(original_ssid)

original_auth = (3,'bewell')

wl.init(mode=WLAN.AP, ssid=original_ssid, auth=original_auth, channel=6, antenna=WLAN.INT_ANT)

Does not change SSID visible on my iphone.
It remains wipy-wlan-xxx
Am I doing something wrong?

Or SSID is hardcoded regardless of what says in documentation:

"wlan.ssid([ssid])
Get or set the SSID when in AP mode.

Wow, great development! :-) This is A LOT better than my simple gateway code, well done Pycom team. This will now run permanently on one of my LoPys.

Just a suggestion, there is a convention for Gateway IDs on TTN, they're usually the first 3 bytes of MAC address + FFFE + last 3 bytes of MAC address, so I added the following to config.py:

import machine
import binascii
CONVENTIONAL_EUI = binascii.hexlify(machine.unique_id()).upper()
CONVENTIONAL_EUI = CONVENTIONAL_EUI[:6] + "FFFE" + CONVENTIONAL_EUI[6:12]

# Set Gateway ID to the first 3 bytes of MAC address + 'FFFE' +  last 3 bytes of MAC address 
GATEWAY_ID = CONVENTIONAL_EUI
# Alternatively uncomment and change this to your fixed Gateway EUI
# GATEWAY_ID = '11aa334455bb7788'

@this-wiederkehr sorry, we haven't pushed the latest docs. There's a new method called stats, try:

lora.stats()

Which returns a namedtuple that contais the rssi, snr and other usefult data (from the last received packet).

Cheers,
Daniel

lora.rssi() is missing at least since 1.6.6.b1... could you fix please?

ah. for anyone wondering lora.rssi() seems to be deprecated in favor of lora.stats() this will output something like:

(timestamp=1502245986, rssi=-39, snr=29, sf=7)

documentation is as usual outdated...

Exciting to see this finally released! :D Let us know if you deploy your LoPy as a TTN (or other) Nano Gateway - would be cool to see it in use!

@daniel thx, you can avoid autolinking from *.py files by escape them as inline code

Inline `code.py` has `back-ticks around` it.

@Clemens thanks. It was never my intention to create Hyperlinks, I just wanted to have then in bold, but somehow the forum treats then as such because of the .py extension, so I have removed that now.

Hi @daniel congrats about success :)

I do not have Lopy and i am interested if this release have something releated to Wipy2 too?

[vruizvil]

@daniel amazing news! lopy weekend, just in time!

[JF002]

I'll definitely try it as soon as possible !

[Clemens]

@daniel your links nanogateway.py, config.py and main.py point to http://nanogateway.py/ http://config.py/ ... can you link to the git file or delete the hyperlink reference

[daniel]

@simonc thanks! :-)

[simonc]

@daniel Wow - congratulations - I think this is a great accomplishment and use case for LoPys!
