| 1. Board soldering (TODO: Schematic/images)
| |
|
| |
|
| 2. Firmware updater
| |
| * Expansionboard/Pygate: https://docs.pycom.io/updatefirmware/expansionboard/
| |
| * LoPy/WiPy: https://docs.pycom.io/updatefirmware/device/
| |
|
| |
| 3. Install Atom + Pymakr plugin.
| |
| Pymakr and firmware install tools only work on x86 processors, so ARM devices (eg. Raspberry pi) will not work for this step.
| |
|
| |
| * For Windows, Visual Studio C++ 2019 is required (2022 currently isn't supported): [[Downloads & Resources]]
| |
| * For linux: install node v16 (v17 does NOT work currently) and 'make' tools + toolchain.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| 4. Set up Pygate gateway:
| |
| * Register new device in TTN (https://www.thethingsnetwork.org)
| |
| * Use template code from Pycom for the gateway: https://docs.pycom.io/tutorials/expansionboards/pygate/
| |
| Need permission to access serial port! Can be an issue on linux if serial won't connect in Atom.

| |
| Common errors:
| |
| AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'callback'
| |
| This usually means that WiPy firmware has not been updated.
| |
|
| |
| OSError: [Errno 2] ENOENT
| |
| Means that the referenced file is not found. Check file path and file name (TTN has a different file name to the code template). Also remove the leading '/' from the flash directory. I'm not sure of the file structure on the LoPy, but it seems that it's not placed in root, and therefore a relative path is needed instead.

| Port 1700 is used on TTN. Works fine for me at home, need to test this at WTS to see if the ports are open.
