iam very new to Lora. I first managed to connect two Lora Board to get a Onewire Sensor Value from one to the other.
But now i want to try to connect a Heltec Wifi Lora 32 to TTN.
But iam not sure, i think this board not usable for TTN. I never found any working code for this board to use it with an onewire DS18b20 Sensor.
Does anyone have a source for some code to use with this board. I dont want to learn to write the code myself. I just want to use this board in production to monitor a cementry. I only found this “hello world” basic code. But i dont know how to use it with a temperature sensor. And later with a soil sensor.
In my humble opinion, if you don’t want to learn to write the code yourself, you should hire someone who does. Otherwise, it’s probably going to take a lot of your own time and the time of the people on this forum trying to get something to work.
The board you mention is definitely usable for TTN. You need to make sure to use a model that matches the frequency plan of your region.
Maybe you’re better off with an already-assembled sensor, like this one:
They claim you can connect an external temperature sensor and a soil sensor too.
(I have no link to them, this was just the first one I found).
I can work with the Development tools. Can change pins, add configs and so on.
But, iam not a programmer. And why people always foced to reinvent the wheel if a solution in somewhere in the net.
I can do repair stuff at my car, without the need to learn everything like a car mechanic.
The board meets the local frequency rules.
And, i dont need a ready to flash *.bin. Iam fine with every .ino or PiO project which i can use.
This board is more a Toy and not for Production use.
Second thing is the typical “developer-problem”. “Use google - learn yourself - you are a dump user - and so on” I hate on that typical nerd problem and will leave.
Your attitude leaves something to be desired. People are genuinely trying to help and all you do is complain and insult. Keep in mind the people trying to help you don’t know who you are and what skills you have apart from what you told in the few lines you have written. Based on that they provide answers, those might not match your expectations, however you can learn from them.
Some things are so readily available on the internet that the most efficient & effective way is for someone to Google. In this case I’d recommend this:
The reality is you must be a programmer at some level and the Arduino eco-system enables those that don’t want to get too involved in the code to bring together pre-prepared libraries for the sensors. There is usually some work to do to take the data & turn it in to a payload - a sequence of bytes - but that sort of thing is easily answered and there is also this:
When starting out on a journey such as this, it is perhaps best to ask what a suitable module to develop with rather than picking something that runs the risk of not having as much of a following and therefore less resources.
There is no right to any of these hard learn’t resources, so demanding answers formatted just for you is never going to win friends & influence people.
So you’re very new to LoRaWAN and in your third post you are already an expert…
That board is not a toy but a useful development board. It is not designed for efficient battery powered operation but that does not make it a toy. Everything depends on requirements. Where are yours?
Disrespectful behavior is not accepted on this forum so if you want to leave be our guest.
Good luck with your journey.
I need gain for this Heltec Omni directional antenna. Please see the attached file in that directional antenna gain is mentioned for LoRa board. I tested this omnidirectional antenna attached with Heltec board max range we received 4km. But I need long range in one direction. Omnidirectional gives 360 degrees.
What type of directional antenna compatible with Lora board we can use for long range transmission more than 4km. Please see the below link directional antenna gain is mention 16dBi.https://ctrfantennasinc.com/16dbi-yagi-antenna-directional-lora-antenna/
TTN nodes both transmit and receive, if you use a high gain antenna for a node then you have to cut the transmit power to stay legal, which completly negates the benfit of the high gain antenna.
One side transmitter and other end is receiver side we have GPS sensor, so lattitude and longitude data is received. Omnidirectional antenna limited bandwidth 20dBm trasmitting power. Need high gain and directional antenna for longer range.
