Hi there,
I am wondering if a SoC such ESP32 is powerful enough to run 8 channels LoRa gateway, RAK831?
If there is or currently developing such software, please guide me. Thank you!
Ukrit,
Were you able to hook up an ESP32 to the gateway? I am using the TTGO ESP32s and running into connection issues. A code example would be amazing!
Joe
That should be possible, in fact the TTIG runs on an ESP8266, the hosting system doesn’t really have to do much but move data between the radio chip and a server off on the Internet. But it’s going to be a challenge to get the software right, likely requiring a lot of unique development - the TTIG’s closed source firmware has been notoriously problematic.
In short this would be a very expert-level embedded development project.
Are you actually trying to use the ESP32 to create a gateway, or are you trying to have what sound like ESP32 based LoRaWAN nodes interact with a gateway over the air in the normal fashion?
No no no…
I want to set up a few TTGO ESP32s as nodes on a Rak831 gateway.
Just use LMIC examples - and look at the Big ESP32 topic for the pinmapping for your model of board
