Connecting Dragino LG01 Gateway

Gateways [obsolete] SCPF
30

Ok I think I found the issue. So first, I only tested ABP to eliminate potential downlink problem. So apparently, in EU868 frequencies are rolling to minimize radio band use and so minimize duty cycle (correct me if I’m wrong). So for a mono-canal gateway it’s a big problem … So forcing my node to use only one frequency (868.1MHz in my case) solved the problem. Almost all packets are received (some times one is missing, I guess the gateway is busy by another node in the building).

Here my discussion about the node part : https://github.com/GrumpyOldPizza/ArduinoCore-stm32l0/issues/26

EDIT : I found the solution for lg01_pkg_fwd script that do not start automatically. In the iot-deamon file (which is start on boot) we found this :

#Check What Service we use
	service=`uci get iot-services.general.server_type`
	if [ "$service" != "disabled" ];then
		script_name=`uci get $service.general.routine_script`
		script=$IOT_DIR$script_name
		
		# Kill possible running daemon;
		servpid=`ps w| grep $script | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`
		if [[ ! -z "$servpid" ]]; then 
			killall $script_name
		fi
		
		#start services 
		#check script type
		if [ "${script%.lua}" != "$script" ]; then
			lua $script &
		else
            $script 2>&1 > /dev/null &
		fi 
	fi

The problem is that there is no lorawan.general.routine_script configured. The fix is simple : edit /etc/config/lorawan and add option “routine_script ‘lg01_pkt_fwd’” to config “settings ‘general’” and reboot :wink:

EDIT #2 : I found another bug … SF11 and SF12 are not supported and the SF settings sent to TTN server are wrong. I know that because I compared with my “real” gateway. It shows that my node is correctly configured but LG01 seems to receive nothing when Dragino is configured SF11 or SF12, I don’t know why … And when it’s received (with SF7 to SF10) it’s not well reported : real SF7 is reported as SF12BW125. Real SF10 is reported as SF7BW125 …

EDIT #3 : … suddently SF are well reported to TTN server … without doing anything … strange … but SF11 and SF12 still not working
