Absolutely right.
The code examples from the dragino wiki was modified a little. And also, I have tried that code and met the same problem.
The code I used has shown in the last post. I don’t know why the range is so short.
Thanks
Clear… here you are in the Things Network forum.
A forum special for LoRaWAN and in general we don’t support boards that communicate direct and only in LoRa.
So there is a difference between LoRa and LoRaWAN.
If you want to communicate directly between those two boards, without the things network, I’m afraid we can’t help you here.
If you want to increase the distance, it’s possible to make one single channel gateway (receiver) and connect that one to TTN and the other one is your node (transmitter) that can send data… like a temperature.
Use search… there is a lot to be found here on the forum.
All right. Thanks all the same.
It would have been very helpful if you had said that you had tried the code from the Dragino wiki and still had the same problem, how likely do you think it is that the demonstration code on the Wiki would be ‘faulty’ in some way ?
You also said that the range was 3m ‘without antenna’. Operating the modules without an antenna will often damage the modules, I have seen that happen many times. The classic the symptom of a damadged module is extreme short range.
Hi,
what i want to say is not the problem of example code makes that problem. The range is so short, which is I want to ask why.
you want to set up a single channel gateway ?
see for LMIC info
LMIC_setupChannel(0, 868100000, DR_RANGE_MAP(DR_SF12, DR_SF7), BAND_CENTI); // g-band
//LMIC_setupChannel(1, 868300000, DR_RANGE_MAP(DR_SF12, DR_SF7B), BAND_CENTI); // g-band
//LMIC_setupChannel(2, 868500000, DR_RANGE_MAP(DR_SF12, DR_SF7), BAND_CENTI); // g-band
ect
ok, i tried it with OTAA and the LMIC library for it, But i still cant get the package to the TNN.
Pin Mapping:
const lmic_pinmap lmic_pins = {
.nss = 10,
.rxtx = LMIC_UNUSED_PIN,
.rst = 9,
.dio = {2, 6, 7},
If i open serial monitor i always receive:
-starting
-packet queued
-Ev_joining
-unkown event
-unkown event
-unkown event

first i tried it with APB, but i received Errors
then i tried it with OTAA but the TNN doesnt receive my packages
-yes, i checked it 4x time. Manuel, copied, with ox and etc.
-yes , they are actualy 2 and they are 4 meters away
-i used the code from LMIC which was made for 868Mhz
-My Lora dragino is 868Mhz
first check if its really transmitting
open your console and your application and then start the node
you should see the node now trying to join the network (yellow thunder)|
maybe this helps
Hi Everyone,
I’m new to thingsnetwork & I started learning LoRa communication recently. I have a problem using Dragino LG-01P gateway. I’m using SX1276 915MHz Serial Lora module from Ebyte (Model No : E32 915T20D) with arduino Uno to transmit data & I uploaded LoRa simple server yun sketch to gateway. But it doesn’t show any received data. I changed the frequency to 915MHz in the code. Please help me to fix the issue. When I try to read data from another SX1276 915MHz Serial Lora module as a receiver, I can read the transmitted data. Please help me how to fix the issue.
Thanks In Advance.
Thank you very much for your reply. Actually I’m not going to do lora-lora communication. I’m trying to learn how to send data to thingsnetwork from the lora module I mentioned & using dragino gateway. I said I used 2 lora modules as TX & RX to make sure that TX is working. What I actually need is send data from Ebyte Lora module to thingsnetwork using my gateway. Problem is my gateway doesn’t read the transmitted data. So I have no way to push my data to TTN.
Thanks in advance.
I see.
First thing to do is get your single channel gateway online with TTN
It’s known that these 'gateways don’t perform very well !
Then you want to use these Ebyte (Model No : E32 915T20D) as nodes to send data.
And there is a problem, the output power from the module (100 mw) is to high and not legal in most countries.
And this specific type can’t be used for LoRaWAN over TTN
oh really. I just bought that module since It is available in aliexpress for few bucks. I didn’t know those power constraints. Thank you very much for letting me know. Anyway for basic learning I’ll use it & then I’ll buy a suitable module. Anyway my next step is add my gateway to TTN & test. But before that I should make sure that rest of the things are okay. My problem is my Ebyte module sends data but dragino gateway doesn’t read them. I uploaded Lora_simple_server_Yun sketch to gateway. (it is an example sketch from dragino). What that sketch does is just read the data from client LoRa node & prints the output on Serial monitor. Unfortunately only serial print I get is “Listening to 915MHz” & no any data displayed on serial monitor. That is my problem. I really appreciate if you can tell me what may be the issue & how to fix it. If it is fixed, then I can push those data to TTN & test my setup.
Thanks.
Thats been answered over in the Arduino forums, its not going to work.
Incidently, its not a good idea to post the same question in two different places at the same time, its a waste of the responders time (who are volunteers).

- the module is a wireless uart and can’t be used for LoRaWAN / TTN
- cheapest solution is : buy a RFM95 module and connect to your arduino uno

Hello,
after following this tutorial I find my gateway unable to connect to ttn(“not connecteda” in the console overview). After trying http://noc.thethingsnetwork.org:8085/api/v2/gateways/eui-<your-eui>
i got the following reply:
{“satus not found”,code:5}.What causes this issue and how can it be fixed?
I ma using Raspberry Pi 2 and Dragino LoRa/GPS Hat as a node. This node transmits data to 8-channel RAK831+RaspberryPi Gateway. I am trying the following code: https://github.com/ernstdevreede/lmic_pi/archive/master.zip
My pin mapping in thethingsnetwork-send-v1.cpp is:
// Pin mapping
lmic_pinmap pins = {
.nss = 6,
.rxtx = UNUSED_PIN, // Not connected on RFM92/RFM95
.rst = 0, // Needed on RFM92/RFM95
.dio = {7,4,5}
};
When executing the code, I am getting the following error:
FAILURE
radio.c:475
In radio.c line 630 and few codes before that line are the following:
630 ASSERT( (readReg(RegOpMode) & OPMODE_MASK) == OPMODE_SLEEP );
Does error at ASSERT( (readReg(RegOpMode) & OPMODE_MASK) == OPMODE_SLEEP ); mean there could be problem reading the Lora modem? Any guidance/help in how I can solve this error would be highly appreciated.
One more request, if anyone has another good tutorial for these particular devices to work as a node, Please let me know.
Thank you
Dear forum
I have a problem. When I want to upload a Sketch to the Dragino LG02, this Error appears (picture attached). I have the LAN-Port Connected and the Arduino IDE shows the Port1. Then, when I want to upload the sketch, it doesn’t work. Can you help me pls? Thank you in advance.
Also, it would be nice, if someone can link me a usable Sketch for the Dragino LG02 as a Gateway for Sensor nodes.
Best Regards
Mario
