Nie poradzę sobie tutaj sam. Czy jest jakaś osoba zainteresowana przyjechaniem na kilka dni do nas na Polesie by pomóc w ogarnięciu paru rzeczy? #Linux (ogarnięcie serwera) #esp32 (programowanie, lepienie) #LoRa #LoRaWAN #meshtastic – którykolwiek z tych tematów.

Jest miejsce do spania, choć nie cały budynek wykończony. Łóżko spokojnie zmieści dwie osoby. Nakarmimy – vege lub nie. Dowiozę z PKP/busa, pokryję koszt podróży, wynegocjujemy wynagrodzenie. Maksimum 4 h działań na dobę, reszta wolne – można iść na łąki łapać kleszcze. Trzeba być odpornym na wrzaski żurawi. I ujadanie przyjaznych ale dzikich piesków.

Mimo totalnej nieoptymalności tej konstrukcji jestem z niej dumny.

Dwie prototypowe płytki z #esp32 wysyłające dane po #LoRaWAN, jedna z czujnikiem temperatury o wysokiej dokładności, druga z czujnikiem wilgoci i temperatury, wszystko jak widać w tunelu :)

I finally managed to fix my "problem" with #LoRaWAN proof of concept end device. Basically my #archlinux settings with #arduinoide sucked so much, that even if it said it uploaded code, it didn't... I think it is a usb permission issue, but whatever, sometimes dualboot with windows has any more usage besides playing cs 2. Now I need to motivate myself to learn how to use linux ;) Thanks for any help!

Hi everyone,
I just soldered my very first (succesful) pcb for #LoRaWAN end device, for this design I used XIAO #esp32 s3 and Wio-e5 module. I based my schematic on the Wio-E5 documentation, just adapted it to esp-32. Moving forward to my problem, I just cannot communicate with Wio-e5. I uploaded example code I used for communicating with grove lora-E5 (which I believe is the same thing, I'm not entirely sure if the firmware is the same.) but it just doesn't send any data.I tried communicating via AT commands, but that also failed. I really tried to find any more information in documentation but I just give up for now. Thanks for any help.

Just to make it clear, first schematic isn't mine, it's the one included in wio-e5 documentation, second one is mine.

@mit_scharf thanks.

Wikipedia says, that #LoRa is is a physical proprietary radio communication technique. And:

> The LoRa Alliance is an open, non-profit association whose stated mission is to support and promote the global adoption of the LoRaWAN ...

I'm unsure how should I understand that.

Is #LoRaWAN free to use?

Does this proprietary part apply only to chips?

And, if I buy chips with support for the proprietary LoRa protocol, then I can use LoRaWAN for free without any legal issues.
