No problem: indeed useful for ‘permanent education’.
I recently made a comparison video - LPS8v2 vs LPS8, where I also explore the possibility to use the integrated TTS Stack:
Off topic for TTI funded TTN forum.
Comparison LPS8v2 vs. LPS8 very instructive.
In that perspective, waiting time also useful to study data-coding to be used on the TTN-trajectory from EndDevice through Gateway to Application, and which effects on elements of the TTN-trajectory.
If straightforwardly connecting an end-device like LSN50_v2,
then according to the manual it works with OTAA-coding for data, and that will be the ‘main route’ through TTN towards Application.
Tried to test with such LSN50 whether communication possible to another Gateway in this suburban area, but no luck: too far away and too many obstructions.
Conclusion is clear: either repair of LPS8Gateway, or replacement.
