Hi, I’ve got SX1302 Gateway shield recently, and I’m trying to connect it to TTN.
I’ve installed Chirpstack OS (it was extremely easy) on it, and everything is running perfectly right off the bat.
However, I can’t seem to find the setting to send the data to TTN.
I’ve enabled the UDP forwarder and set the server to router.eu.thethings.network:1700, but the gateway data still doesn’t show up in the web interface.
I see some people try to do a similar thing by installing some external libraries on Raspbian with varying success, so, if possible, I would want to avoid that.
Some people will say (which makes quite a bit of sense) that it is weird to install Chirpstack (which in itself comes with a Network Server like TTN) and then point the gateway to TTN instead. You can simply run the Semtech UDP forwarder stand-alone without Chirpstack, but that requires a little bit of fiddling - if you’ve got a compatible Chirpstack image, that is indeed easier, although I wouldn’t say it is the recommended way.
Assuming you want to keep it as is, the most important thing to change is the host: eu1.cloud.thethings.network (with port 1700). I am not sure whether that is all that is required, but you’re much more likely to receive data
This is a bit of a temporary installation anyway, so it’s good enough for now. Later, I want to buy a MikroTik gateway. It seems they have better integration, and it can be installed outside right away.
