hallo, plz help me, i use lora mini dev + Lora GPS/Hat at same freq (868mhz), and i use sensor node dht 11 humidity, i just can recieve data from lora mini with serial to my laptop, i don’t know how to connect lora mini to lora hat, lora hat is actived and connected to TTN, i use single channel pkt fwd, please help me give me a sketch or anything how to connect lora mini + lora hat and get the sensor data…
Hey, I managed to solve this issue by resetting the frame counters on the device settings in the TTN console (Overview tab). After the counter reset, the node status changes and the TTN begins logging the payload data once again.
Hi Everyone, i have build a Single Chan Gateway with the Dragino Lora GPS Hat and the Packet Forwarder by Telkamp (https://github.com/tftelkamp/single_chan_pkt_fwd) and connected it to TTN. (I know this forwarder is deprecated) Im receiving packets from some Node, but on the TTN Console it doesnt show any transfered Data in the “Traffic” Section, it is empty.
I already checked the UDP connection, which seems to be fine. TTN is definetly getting the status msgs with the gps data. (Shows the location of the Gateway on the map, at least on the TTN mainpage https://www.thethingsnetwork.org)
The “Received Messages” counter on the console only shows 2, even though I received much more packets with the gateway.
Does anyone know why there is nothing listed on the “Traffic” section on the TTN console?
And does anybody know how to fix it?
Thank you guys very much.
How are you sure you are actually receiving more packets with the gateway than the 2 Received Messages that your counter shows? If you are referring to the output that you see in the terminal after starting the Single_Chan_Pkt_Fwd routine on your RaspberryPi that isn’t always packets being received. I don’t have access to my Pi at the moment but you will see periodic updates in terminal that are just the Packet Forwarder routine running through it’s loop but unless you’ve actually received something it won’t show up as traffic on the Console.
Yes, I’m pretty shure about that. 
Ok, so you’re using the dual_chan_pkt_fwd now and not using the single channel packet forwarder you alluded to in your other post. It could be the problem here if things weren’t set up right but you are still right that you have apparently received packets. Are you using the Dual Channel setup that Batigolle has used?
The next assumption is that the reason you’re not seeing it in TTN is that the packet is not meant for TTN. I pick up random packets here in Montreal that I know do not show up in my Gateways count, as I can pretty much guarantee that that count number I see are all messages from my sensors. At least on my test gateway as it’s not that high of a number.
Thanks a lot for your concerns. Right now Im using the Dual Channel Packet Forwarder that Batigolle introduced in the forum, but its based on the Single Channel Packet Forwarder by Telkamp.
I thought that unknown Packets from different Networks than TTN are also received and processed by the servers and then dumped.
I’m wondering why the TTN Console shows 2 received msgs but doesn’t show any information in the Traffic section.
Next week the hardware for my node and a real LoRaWAN Gateway Module should arrive, then I can continue testing the TTN.
Ok good luck, I had the same issues at first with my LG-01 that I had bought initially but was able to make it work well enough. Haven’t had this issue with the LoRa Hat that I had tested though. Hopefully with your node and real Gateway you’ll have an easier time.
Hello, I’ve created a loRaWAN Gateway using a Raspberry Pi 3 and a LoRa Sheild, it works fine. Then I tried to send data to this gateway using a node made of: Arduino, Lora Shield and sensors (DHT22 and tsl2561). First, I send a basic “Hello World” message using this code (https://github.com/matthijskooijman/arduino-lmic/blob/master/examples/ttn-abp/ttn-abp.ino). It worked fine. But, When I tried to send DHT22 data (temperature and humidity) I couldn’t. The last thing I tried is to use this code (https://github.com/goodcheney/TTN_Mydevice/blob/master/DHT11_Mydevice), I’ve made some changes (the DHT22 declaration and the reading). But I’ve always that payload: 01670000026800 which is not the data I’ve wanted. What is wrong with my code? Is there any other way to send data properly to the gateway? Please, I need your help. Thanks.

Hi @airichi
did you change the decode code, to read the hexadecimal string and convert it back to numbers, on the application where the node is registered?
defauly the decode code in payload formats, reads a hexadecimal string and converts it to text
That hex value is in your code you linked to on line 18, if you remove or comment out that line what do you see from your node? Remember to make sure that the rest of your mydata lines are appropriately setup properly if you do that.
I’d also suggest maybe looking at this code, to see how he uses a DHT sensor with the LMIC library. Even though it’s not the same device the code might be helpful to you.

Do I have to initialize mydata at the same time I read data from my sensor?
Thank you for the code, I’ll try to use the same methods.
This is the payload in that packet that you are seeing and what I was referring to in my earlier post. So from the looks of it you are not replacing that value with the appropriately acquired values from the DHT sensors farther down in your code. It was also why my suggestion to you was to omit or comment out that line of your code to see if you see a different payload being sent. Assuming the rest of your code is correct and I apologize, I haven’t looked over it all very carefully, you should see a different payload being sent.
One last thing, from the code I shared this is something that I think you should look at:
char packet[30] = "";
// Get temperature event and print its value.
sensors_event_t event;
dht.temperature().getEvent(&event);
if (!isnan(event.temperature)) {
char floatStr[10];
dtostrf(event.temperature, 3, 2, floatStr);
strcat(packet, "Temp: ");
strcat(packet, floatStr);
strcat(packet, "*C\n");
} else {
Serial.println("Error reading temperature!");
}
// Get humidity event and print its value.
dht.humidity().getEvent(&event);
if (!isnan(event.relative_humidity)) {
char floatStr[10];
dtostrf(event.relative_humidity, 3, 2, floatStr);
strcat(packet, "Humidity: ");
strcat(packet, floatStr);
strcat(packet, "%");
} else {
Serial.println("Error reading humidity!");
}
if (!strlen(packet)) {
// Don't send empty packet
return;
}
In your code besides that default value on line 18, you are then using mydata three separate times with varying lengths mydata[2], mydata[3], and mydata[6] unless I missed it somewhere else, if you do see a different payload by removing line 18, it will most likely be the value stored in mydata[6] and not all of the data that you want.
Hello.
I’m using a Dragino LSN50 (firmware 1.1) that is sending data to my LG01 which is connected to ttn. The lsn50 is using ABP mode. As lsn50 modify its TX frequency all the time, many messages dont reach the LG01. Could you tell me please how to make lsn50 use a unique TX frequency ? It means using only one channel .
Here is the node code : https://github.com/dragino/LoRa_STM32
Thank you
probably instruct the node with AT commands
http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Lora_Sensor_Node-LSN50
Hello,
Thank you for your help.
AT commands supported are here : http://www.dragino.com/downloads/.
I didnt find how to enable a single channel using these AT commands. Imo, the firmware has to be modified but I dont know how …
Eric
is it open source then ? what did you find…
Hi.
I am trying to setup my dragino LQ01-S as a gateway to TTN. I have followed the instructions in the user manuals supplied by Dragino, but nothing shows up and looks registered on the TTN console.
I am located in Canada and I have loaded the single-pkt-fwd-v002 and I have changed the frequency to 915MHz.
I am at a loss as to what I am missing or what I have not setup completely. Can someone direct me to perhaps more detailed setup instructions. Some of the areas that I am not sure about are the ports uses; do the keys need to be installed etc.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Malcolm
Hi Guys,
firstly, I will like to appreciate the support you are offering mostly to us computer science student and to those who want to try new IoT related technical stuff.
I have a question or rather a groups of subjects. Before going into my questions, let me give you guys the background of my issues.
I was required, in the context of my thesis, to create a bi-directional communication over the LoRa modulation. The interface is between two “smart devices” consisting of a Raspberry Pi 3 and a LoRa /GPS HAT based on the SX1276 LoRa Transceiver. Both devices will act as Server and Client interchangeably. On both devices will run a packet forwarder the enables them forward data to a local TCP server for further processing.
Presently, both devices can send and receive data from/to each other using the RPI-transceiver software as described in (https://github.com/dragino/rpi-lora-tranceiver). I found a packet forwarder software at (https://github.com/kersing/packet_forwarder), this, however, is not designed for the Lora Transceiver x1276/SX1272 but for the concentrator based on SX1301, which is a multi-channel full gateway devices. It is evident that the software does suit my use case ( in my opinion). I will like someone to either point me to a source of software that could help me achieve the goals described earlier or give me some tips in modifying ( adapting) the existing software to my need. Thank in advance.
I suggest you do a search for single channel gateway … here on the forum or google.
A single channel gateway can connect to The Things Network and can work with a piece off code named LMIC
