PyCom Setup
1. Board soldering (TODO: Schematic/images)
2. Firmware updater
- Expansionboard/Pygate: https://docs.pycom.io/updatefirmware/expansionboard/
- LoPy: 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/
