  RP2040

  The "Pico" board with the RP2040 chip developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation is the latest tiny fast and versatile board in Arduino Nano format. As you may already know, the board can be programmed using MicroPython and C/C++. In this tutorial, I extended the official MicroPython version to support cryptographic primitives, and this unlocks the possibility to connect the board (using the SX1276 chip) to the "The Things Networks" (TTN) - which means LoRaWAN support.

  I've just updated the LoRa/LoRaWAN repository for MicroPython and added a configuration that works on the M5Stack Fire using the LoRa868 Module. Therefore, this will help you connect the M5Stack Fire to the "The Things Network (TTN)"!

  If you're new to MicroPython read this tutorial: Tutorial: Getting Started with MicroPython on ESP32, M5Stack, and ESP8266If you want to know more about the LoRaWAN and MicroPython, read this article: Tutorial: ESP32 running MicroPython sends data o...

  m5stack atom

  This tutorial is about programming the M5Stack Atom using MicroPython to transfer data to a LoRaWAN gateway. The gateway is then connected to the "The Things Network" (TTN) to process the data.

  Before you start reading, check out the video of this setup!

  The M5Stack ATOM Matrix is the most compact development board in the M5Stack development kit series with a size of only 24 x 24 x 14 mm and a weight of 14 g.

  It has:

  • 6 GPIO (Dupont Pins)
  • GROVE/4Pin PH2.0 interface
  • 5 x ...

  m5stack

  LoRa is a wireless data communication technology that enables you to transmit data over a very-long-range (more than 10 km in rural areas) with low power consumption. It uses license-free sub-gigahertz radio frequency bands as the 169 MHz, 433 MHz, 868 MHz for Europe, and 915 MHz for North America.

  In October 2018, I published an article about LoRa and ESP32, and I uploaded a project to GitHub. The project includes a SX127x driver for ESP32 running MicroPython. However...

  This is a short article to share with you that I've just registered a LoRaWAN gateway and right now I have one of the 10106 online gateways connected (see Fig. 1) to "The Things Network"!

  I got from DigitSpace a Dragino LG02 Gateway (868MHz) and now in Hanover, you can see a gateway running in the List district.

  I will be making some tests in the coming weeks, and I am planning to redesign the code in lemariva/uPyLoRa to connect to ...

  wireless communication

  LoRa (Long Range) is a patented digital wireless data communication technology. It was developed by Cycleo of Grenoble in France and then acquired by Semtech in 2012. Semtech defines the Lora Technology "as the DNA of IoT, which connects sensors to the Cloud and enables real-time communication of data and analytics that can be utilized to enhance efficiency and productivity".

  To sum up, LoRa is a wireless data communication technology that enables very-long-range transmissions (mo...
