The aim of this lesson is to learn is to learn how to setup a Pycom '''Pygate LoRa WAN Gateway'''. This gateway is useful for testing LoRa sensors to ensure that they are working correctly and sending data to The Things Network. Even though LoRa WAN Gateways are installed in several local government areas (and also be hobbyists) it is more reliable to have a LoRa WAN Gateway within close range and/or a gateway where the traffic can be monitored using a computer. | |||
In this application, we are using the Pycom '''Pygate expansion board''' and a Pycom '''WiPy microcontroller'''. The LoRa antenna is connected to the Pygate expansion board. The WiPy 3.0 connects to a home or school WiFi router so that LoRa data can be sent to The Things Network. | |||

Overview
The aim of this lesson is to learn is to learn how to setup a Pycom Pygate LoRa WAN Gateway. This gateway is useful for testing LoRa sensors to ensure that they are working correctly and sending data to The Things Network. Even though LoRa WAN Gateways are installed in several local government areas (and also be hobbyists) it is more reliable to have a LoRa WAN Gateway within close range and/or a gateway where the traffic can be monitored using a computer. In this application, we are using the Pycom Pygate expansion board and a Pycom WiPy microcontroller. The LoRa antenna is connected to the Pygate expansion board. The WiPy 3.0 connects to a home or school WiFi router so that LoRa data can be sent to The Things Network.
