This guide will instruct you to create a single channel DIY LoRaWAN Gateway
- The gateway will forward sensor data from LoRaWAN node to Easy LoRaWAN Cloud.
This is for DIY purpose. For commercial products, please check our Products.
- Hardware: Any ESP32 Dev board
- Level: Basic knowledge of Arduino IDE
- Source code at: EasyLoRaWAN
- Ask question at: Easy LoRa Facebook group
Steps
- The original project is at ESP-1ch-Gateway
- You need to install Arduino IDE and ESP32 environment at: Setup-Arduino-IDE-and-ESP32
- Unzip the lib.zip at EasyLoRaWAN and copy all the subfolders into your Arduino IDE library at C:\Users\your-Windows-user\Documents\Arduino\libraries
4. Wire your píns from SPI LoRa SX1278 to ESP32 is below:
- SCK: 18
- MISO: 36
- MOSI: 5
- RST: 13
- SS: 23
- DIO0: 39
- DIO1: 39 (Not connected)
- DIO2: 39 (Not connected)
Or you can change your own pin mapping at loraModem.h#L260 (Not recommended)
5. Search for SSID and change the WiFi Name/Password. You can specify two WiFis.
6. The default LoRaWAN settings
- LoRaWAN server: easylora.vn
- TX and RX frequency: 433175000
- Spreading Factor: SF 9
7. Compile the source code and upload to ESP32
8. Your gateway will get DHCP from WiFi. Enter http://your-gateway-ip to see the management GUI.
9. Take note your Gateway ID, you will need it to join LoRaWAN server.
10. Done. Enjoy.
