Today I received my brand new concentrator card from n-fuse. Later I will try to get it working with a mPCIe to USB adapter and an Orange Pi. In the next few days I’ll post a guide.
cd /home/pi
mkdir lora
cd /home/pi/lora
git clone https://github.com/Lora-net/picoGW_hal.git
cd /home/pi/lora/picoGW_hal
make clean all
cd /home/pi/lora
git clone https://github.com/Lora-net/picoGW_packet_forwarder.git
cd /home/pi/lora/picoGW_packet_forwarder/
make clean all
The n-fuse LRWCCx-MPCIE (together with a mPCIe to USB adapter) now supports a Windows Application called “PicoGW UI”. With this you can set up a Gateway (also TTN compatible) under Windows quickly. There is a ZIP file with the software and a user guide downloadable on the product page.
Hi fewi, excellent guide, with a little of changes that took me away several hours I managed to make everything work with a pi zero W. Nice job!
If you want to see the result, in the next few hours I will publish some material on the twitter of TTN Calabria e Cilento that you can find here
As requested by @Jeff-UK , I have published the main guidelines for using the nfuse concentrator with a Pi Zero W and I hope it can help those who approach the project. Obviously the steps related to the command line vary according to the OS used with your SBC. Most of the problems have occurred because of a poor power supply. Please have a look here
In the linked article (unfortunately the time available is not enough to list the individual steps on Raspbian but I hope to write a more detailed guide soon), the guide of @fewi is more than good. We could not understand why it was not good at the beginning, but I can assure that most of the malfunctions are due to poor power supply (concentrator that is not recognized or stops working). Energy saving and a good power supply are the key points. It may seem silly but it isn’t.
Thanks for the update & pointers. In the comments to the OPi build article you mention additional steps/issues/problems wrt RPi0W build vs OPi - its heads up on these delta’s that would be very useful to stop others having to rediscover/resolve if you can post please. Good job…wallet opening ready for next build parts BOM buy
Yes of course. It does not lack any feature the “normal” design has. In fact it has advantages in terms of stability as the time sensitive stuff is done by an MCU.
