Hi all,

I have a RaspberryPi based gateway in my loft with a LoRa Concentrator Gateway Module SX1301 Inside , Model: RAK833-SPI that I was running as a beta test for Pi Supply some years ago.

I’m trying to upgrade it unsuccessfully, but wonder if I’m wasting my precious time?

Do any of you know if it will work with V3…?

It would be a shame for it to go to waste if it can be put to use :•)

Thanks in advance,  
Craig.

Should not be a problem. I have several RPi based gateways running on V3. Updating the global\_conf.json should be all that is required. (Just make sure there is no script overwriting it again)
