Big ESP32 / SX127x topic part 1

biohazard · December 3, 2017, 3:12pm

Ok, I removed the usb-uart cp210x.
Still 2.6 mA.

Note that the board is much lighter now ^^ Better for IoT

Mirtcho · December 3, 2017, 7:53pm

Does somebody has the documentation of this board.
I received mine. As far as I understood the small- coil soldered antenna is for WIFI / BT while the IPX connector is for LoRa.
Now the tricky part - The Lora receive level with or without attached antenna are the same - 108dbm
I have used

setup - At home , transmitter at second floor receiver basement.

Can somebody confirm the purpose of two antennas?

thanks

** 4/12/17 - Altered to take into account what Kersing says below
** 7/12/17 - Altered to take into account the installation of libraries that may not already be installed and to add sister TX code
** 15/12/17 - Altrered to add info on how to copy the 3 codes from console

1) Single Channel Gateway using Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 (with OLED display)

Thanks @Kersing
Got the single channel gateway working on my Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 (with OLED display)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/868MHz-915MHz-SX1276-ESP32-LoRa-0-96-Inch-OLED-Display-Bluetooth-WIFI-Lora-Kit-32-Module/32835492243.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_10152_10065_10151_10344_10068_10130_10345_10324_10342_10547_10325_10343_10340_10341_10548_10192_10541_10190_10084_10083_10307_10301_10303_10539_10312_10059_10313_10314_10184_10534_100031_10604_10603_10103_10605_10594_10596_10142_10107,searchweb201603_25,ppcSwitch_5&algo_expid=2ba45802-8bfd-4728-b9ca-e592aea6c379-19&algo_pvid=2ba45802-8bfd-4728-b9ca-e592aea6c379&rmStoreLevelAB=5
Very nice
Just listing the things I did to get it working (hopefully useful for others)

install Arduino IDE https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
install ESP8266 core as per github https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino
install ESP32 core as per github https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32
Execute the Arduino IDE and goto “File->Preferences” and make a note of the “Sketchbook Location”. This is the “stub” folder which you will reference when loading folders/files (we will call it STUB from now on) It is usually something like “C:\Users???\Documents\arduino”.
Download ZIP file from https://github.com/kersing/ESP-1ch-Gateway-v5.0
Extract the ZIP file (preferably using 7-zip http://www.7-zip.org/ )
Copy everything from the extracted file folder “libraries” and paste into STUB\libraries"
Copy folder “ESP-sc-gway” from the zip file and paste into “STUB\libraries”
Go to “STUB\libraries\ESP-sc-gway\ESP-sc-gway.h” and alter the code using “wordpad”.
You need to update the following 3 sections

1 Gateway Ident definitions
(description, Lat long)

2 ntp
(for UK, change to NTP_TIMESERVER “uk.pool.ntp.org” and NTP_TIMEZONES 0

3 definition of wpas wpa[]
Change code from this:

#if 0
wpas wpa[] = {
{ “” , “” }, // Reserved for WiFi Manager
{ “ape”, “apePasswd” }
{ “ape”, “apePasswd” }
};
#else
Place outside version control to avoid the risk of commiting it to github
#include “d:\arduino\wpa.h”
#endif

to this

wpas wpa[] = {
{ “” , “” }, // Reserved for WiFi Manager
{ “YOUR WIFI SSID”, “YOUR WIFI SSID PASSWORD” }
};

Execute the Arduino IDE
Ensure you have installed both the SPIFFS and U8G2 libraries as shown (ignore the others shown in this pic) using “Sketch->Include Library->Manage Libraries”
Upload the sketch via “File->Examples->ESP-sc-gway”. Set up the port and upload into your Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 device, (when the device re-boots, you should see info displayed on the OLED)
When the device has booted and logged into your wifi network, find the IP address it is using from your router and enter this IP address into a web browser to display a webpage of Gateway details - note the 8 byte “Gateway ID” (you need this for the TTN console)
Log into the TTN console and setup a new gateway - You need to tick the “I’m using the legacy packet forwarder” checkbox and paste the 8 byte “Gateway ID” seen from the webpage.
setup a few other things like frequency and save!
thats it - amazing !!!

2) Example TX code for HelTec Lora (for use with Gateway above)

Download the zip file for LMIC https://github.com/matthijskooijman/arduino-lmic
unzip and rename folder “arduino-lmic-master” to “arduino-lmic” (there can be a clash with other versions of the “LMIC” library)
Put the renamed “arduino-lmic” folder into the STUB/libraries
(optional) If you have version problems when compiling the code, try removing the standard library called “IBM_LMIC_framework” from STUB/libraries (you can easily put it back using Sketch->Include Library->Manage Libraries)

Copy and paste the preformatted text seen below into the Arduino IDE.
The 3 lines that need changing are prefixed with “$$”. Remove the “$$” and replace the code using info defined in TTN - remember that in TTN, you can only switch the device from OTAA to ABP after you have saved the device in TTN!!! Once the device has been changed to “ABP”, you will then see the 3 codes in the console that you need to copy back to the Arduino code. i.e.
For DEVADDR/Device Address - just copy the hex and add after the 0x in the code
For NWKSKEY and APPSKEY - click the eye (show code) then the <> (C-style), click the “copy” button and then use that to paste into the code (do not press the ⇆ button and check that your showing MSB before copying!)

You should copy the contents of the libraries folder to your Arduino libraries folder. On Windows that would be something like “Documents\Arduino\libraries”. That allows any Arduino program to use the libraries, not just the ESP32 based ones.

Atilius · December 5, 2017, 3:07am

Hi @nicbkw
I am trying LMIC ttn-abp example and I need some help.
I have set the pins as you mentioned:

const lmic_pinmap lmic_pins = {
    .nss = 18,
    .rxtx = LMIC_UNUSED_PIN,
    .rst = 14,
    .dio = {26, 33, 32},
};

I have modified config.h to use the right settings for my dev board 915Mhz and SX1276

//#define CFG_eu868 1
#define CFG_us915 1
// This is the SX1272/SX1273 radio, which is also used on the HopeRF
// RFM92 boards.
//#define CFG_sx1272_radio 1
// This is the SX1276/SX1277/SX1278/SX1279 radio, which is also used on
// the HopeRF RFM95 boards.
#define CFG_sx1276_radio 1

I have compiled and uploaded successfully the code but then in the console I get this:

Starting
FAILURE 
(my documents pah) .... \Arduino\libraries\arduino_729925\src\lmic\radio.c:689

This is the fragment of radio.c where line 689: ASSERT(v == 0x12 );

// some sanity checks, e.g., read version number
u1_t v = readReg(RegVersion);
#ifdef CFG_sx1276_radio
ASSERT(v == 0x12 );    ------ This is line 689 ------------
#elif CFG_sx1272_radio
ASSERT(v == 0x22);
#else
#error Missing CFG_sx1272_radio/CFG_sx1276_radio
#endif

Do you realize what I’m doing wrong?
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance

vshymanskyy · December 5, 2017, 3:36am

@Atilius It looks like lmic is setting up SPI via SPI.begin().
Try changing it to SPI.begin(5,19,27,18); in src/hal/hal.cpp:80

vshymanskyy · December 5, 2017, 4:17am

BTW,
I seem to have a working version of a Single Channel Gateway and a Device (ABP) on 433 Mhz.

Both devices are TTGO ESP32 LORA SX1278.
I’ll investigate it further and describe my findings in a separate topic.

Atilius · December 5, 2017, 1:47pm

Thanks @vshymanskyy
It started working

Starting
Packet queued
134929: EV_TXCOMPLETE (includes waiting for RX windows)
Packet queued
4015521: EV_TXCOMPLETE (includes waiting for RX windows)
Packet queued
7896113: EV_TXCOMPLETE (includes waiting for RX windows)

It seems to be sending the packets.
I’m still working on the gateway.

I’m a beginner. I need to learn a lot about what’s really happening “behind the scenes” because I don’t like make it work but without understanding the “magic”. More questions coming soon
Thanks again!!!

nicbkw · December 5, 2017, 9:00pm

Hi @Atilius - thanks @vshymanskyy! Happy to see it working for you and sorry I couldn’t answer sooner.

baykouchev · December 5, 2017, 9:44pm

Hi @fbt, @arjanvanb,

I struggled also with the problem LoRa.OnReceive(...) not being called.
Looks like we have to define the interrupt pin as an INPUT. Just put in your setup this line at the beginning:

pinMode(26, INPUT);

For me everything works fine right now.

Atilius · December 5, 2017, 11:53pm

@nicbkw No problem. Thank you

Atilius · December 6, 2017, 12:01am

Hi! I’m trying to configure the TTN values for LMIC example ttn-otaa.
As mentioned in https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/devices/registration.html for device registration I’ve ran the sketch to obtain DEVEUI but I get: Error compiling for card ESP32 Dev Module.

Sketch:

#include <TheThingsNetwork.h>

#define loraSerial Serial1
#define debugSerial Serial

// Replace REPLACE_ME with TTN_FP_EU868 or TTN_FP_US915
#define freqPlan TTN_FP_US915

TheThingsNetwork ttn(loraSerial, debugSerial, freqPlan);

void setup()
{
  loraSerial.begin(57600);
  debugSerial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  debugSerial.println("Device Information");
  debugSerial.println();
  ttn.showStatus();
  debugSerial.println();
  debugSerial.println("Use the EUI to register the device for OTAA");
  debugSerial.println("-------------------------------------------");
  debugSerial.println();

  delay(10000);
}

Any help?
Thanks

BoRRoZ · December 6, 2017, 12:17am

the TTN library code for arduino only works for the RN2483 module and that module doesn’t need LMIC

Atilius · December 6, 2017, 12:32am

Thanks @BoRRoZ.

So, how can I get the Device EUI for this board?

BoRRoZ · December 6, 2017, 12:38am

… its late

that board doesn’t have a dev eui … you can generate one in the console

deveui

Great! I thought that the generate option was only for ABP not OTAA. Thanks. I will try.

Hi. I have already set APPEUI, DEVEUI and APPKEY in the sketch by copy/pasting TTN Device Registration values.
I have the gateway connected (TTN show it “Connected” in the manager).
But I get in the serial monitor this:

Starting
Packet queued
4325: EV_JOINING
4093990: EV_JOIN_FAILED
5884337: EV_JOIN_FAILED
7684623: EV_JOIN_FAILED
9453733: EV_JOIN_FAILED

The comments in the example sketch mention this:

// This EUI must be in little-endian format, so least-significant-byte
// first. When copying an EUI from ttnctl output, this means to reverse
// the bytes. For TTN issued EUIs the last bytes should be 0xD5, 0xB3,
// 0x70.

Should I change anything in the TTN copied values?

Any clues on what’s wrong?
Thanks

Hi,

Did you copy the APPEUI and DEVEUI in LSB format and the APPKEY in MSB?

//---------------------------------------------------------
//setup TTN
// LSB!!
//---------------------------------------------------------
static const u1_t PROGMEM APPEUI[8]= { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x70 };
void os_getArtEui (u1_t* buf) { memcpy_P(buf, APPEUI, 8);}
static const u1_t PROGMEM DEVEUI[8]={ 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 };
void os_getDevEui (u1_t* buf) { memcpy_P(buf, DEVEUI, 8);}

// MSB!!
static const u1_t PROGMEM APPKEY[16] = { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 };
void os_getDevKey (u1_t* buf) { memcpy_P(buf, APPKEY, 16);}

Thanks @mrme.

This is how APPEUI, DEVEUI and APPKEY look like in my sketch (I have changed the order of a couple of values here for security reasons… but the format is the same)

// This EUI must be in little-endian format, so least-significant-byte
// first. When copying an EUI from ttnctl output, this means to reverse
// the bytes. For TTN issued EUIs the last bytes should be 0xD5, 0xB3,
// 0x70.
static const u1_t PROGMEM APPEUI[8]={ 0x70, 0x7E, 0xB3, 0xD0, 0xD5, 0x00, 0x87, 0xC2 };
void os_getArtEui (u1_t* buf) { memcpy_P(buf, APPEUI, 8);}

// This should also be in little endian format, see above.
static const u1_t PROGMEM DEVEUI[8]={ 0x00, 0xCB, 0xF0, 0x5C, 0x23, 0x15, 0x97, 0x55 };
void os_getDevEui (u1_t* buf) { memcpy_P(buf, DEVEUI, 8);}

// This key should be in big endian format (or, since it is not really a
// number but a block of memory, endianness does not really apply). In
// practice, a key taken from ttnctl can be copied as-is.
// The key shown here is the semtech default key.
static const u1_t PROGMEM APPKEY[16] = { 0xA4, 0x4C, 0x26, 0xBC, 0x70, 0x5B, 0xE8, 0x74, 0x9E, 0x07, 0xE7, 0xD8, 0xBB, 0x38, 0x3B, 0xC0 };
void os_getDevKey (u1_t* buf) {  memcpy_P(buf, APPKEY, 16);}

Is the format right?

BTW I tried OTAA (this example) and ABP but neither worked. With this board (ESP32 LORA SX127x), is it a matter of choice or am I restricted to OTAA?
Thanks again

looks like you didnt reverse byte order for lsb. in ttn dashboard is a button next to the key to reverse from msb to lsb. use this, copy paste, and try again. only first two keys are in lsb. last one is msb.
