Hi, I found a new concentrator board, the cheapest one to date. [22] It is not a complete gateway, you still need a host/raspberry-pi… it come enclosured with micro-B USB interface and a SPI connector. The size is very small, like a raspberry-pi Zero. There is a raspberry-pi adaptor board for $9…

Hi Bernd, The interval between status messages should be 30 seconds, not 6 minutes. However this might just be a logging issue. Could you check the gateway consoles ‘Last Seen’ message for a couple of minutes? The value should not exceed 35 seconds. Just to make sure, you are using a 868MHz model,…

Hello Jac, the update on last seen happens precisely every 2 minutes (3x2min = 6min … could be the explanation) in my local_conf.json I use this setting: /* adjust the following parameters for your network */ “keepalive_interval”: 30, “stat_interval”: 120, “push_timeout_ms”: 100, At least I …

Hello Jac, after disassembling the device it turned out that I’ve received the 433MHZ (although I clearly ordered the 868 MHZ version) version as it contains 2 SX1255 (instead of SX1257) :frowning: Thank you for your support! KR Bernd

Hi Bernd, That is disappointing. Hopefully the vendor will solve this issue soon. Best regards, Jac

Hi One question. Do you receive packets from radio 0? Because I have one TTGO and one Heltec ESP32 and the gateway only receives in radio 1, it seems the channels in radio 0 are not listening: *** Packet Forwarder for Lora PicoCell Gateway *** Version: 0.1.0 *** Lora concentrator HAL library vers…

I’ve just added a tutorial to my blog for this gateway: https://robotzero.one/heltec-lora-gateway-things-network/ Maybe helpful to someone. Let me know if there’s any errors. I’ll be setting this up as a permanent gateway in the next few weeks and run some range tests.

Did someone compared the receive sensitivity to other gateways? I think the measured 15,5dBm Output power are enough if we look at our local laws…

I did a quick test today with this and the Heltec Lora 32. Connected fine at 2.9km. I’ll try some longer distances when I get my breath back… [image]

Did you get your breath back? I’m wondering about treating myself to one of these as an upgrade to the single channel test gateways I have been playing with, so I am following your experiments with interest. I was looking at a more conventional RPI + RAK831 setup, but this small unit would be a muc…
