is it essential to use a microcontroller for driving the E78 module ? cant i use a serial port with the e78 module to transmit data ??
Dear @AbhipsitaTechnologie
The E78 can be programmed with an AT command firmware (GitHub - asrlora/alios-asr-lora) that allows you to send data from a computer or other serial terminal.
Kind regards
You don’t have to use a microcontroller, you can use a full size PC if you wish.
But you will need something to send the appropriate commands to the E78 module or you may, and I’ve not tried, be able to write your own firmware for it.
thanks you so much for the advice. I will be sending the AT commands to the e78 module from PC via cutecom terminal in fedora 30.
I have succesfully added a dragino lps8 as a gateway on the TTN network and it shows “connected”. However, while registering the e78-868lln22s module as an end device, and after putting all the required details as asked, TTN console shows “last seen info unavailabe” for the same. Could you suggest what is wrong ??
Thanks in advance.
Not without a whole heap more detail, like is it ABP or OTAA, what do you see on the device serial log, the gateway log, the gateway web console etc.
Please ensure all text items are copied & pasted as text, no screen shots and that you use the </> tool to format logs & serial output.
hello,
i used a standard win10pc with HTerm and an USB-UART adapter (CP2102),
maybe helpful:
following are the details:
1)network server address+application server address : eu1.cloud.thethings.network
2)lora wan version: MAC v1.0.3
3)freq plan: india 865-867 mhz
4)supports class C
there after i obtained the device address, generated an nwkskey. At the application layer, i also obtained appskey, and didnot enable the skip payload encryption and decryption.
the last msg at the device log shows “updated”, and at the gatewayconsole:connected.
when i type the AT commands as stated in the above comments by daa792.
Gateway log shows “devaddr:260B****,Fcnt:1, Fport:10,macpayload: E0 1C E1 D1, bandwidth:12500, snr:11, RSSI:-53, raw payload :8042AA0B268001000AE01CE1D1447AA6F0” for AT command AT+DTRX=1,2,4,00010203
Not sure why there is a MAC payload included - what is make & model of the gateway?
dragino lps8-868
@descartes Sir, could you please suggest me the AT commands for communication via serial terminal for OTAA method ??
hello,
i performed:
OTAA-Setup
AT+CDEVEUI=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
AT+CAPPEUI=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
AT+CAPPKEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
AT+CTXP=2
AT+CSAVE
AT+IREBOOT=0
@daa792 Thank You so much for the suggestion.
However, after providing the commands as stated, and using command AT+DTRX=1,2,5,0001020304
serial terminal shows “ERR+SEND:00”. Could you advice me where I am going wrong ??
I used AT+CJOINMODE=0 for OTAA method
So @AbhipsitaTechnologie you choose OTAA mode.
What is your full AT+JOIN command , and what answer do you get ?
Something like that ?
AT+CJOIN=1,1,10,8
OK
+CJOIN:OK
and what is the answer for AT+CJOIN=1,1,10,8
(full CJOIN command with parameters)
OK or not ?
if not OK you can’t send succesfully datas
@al1fch on applying “AT+CJOIN?”,
I obtained “+CJOIN=1,1,10,8” followed by “OK”,
however on applying AT+DTRX=1,2,4,00010203, it shows “ERR+SEND:00”
@al1fch OTAA method is not working out, however on using ABP method, and applying the command AT+DTRX=0,1,4,01020304, it shows “OK+SEND:04” followed by “OK+SENT:01”. However, on view the TTN gateway live data, I got the result as attached on the screen shots. I could not decipher the frmpayload which i think is bound to be the actual data(sent from e-87 endnode). please do refer to the refer screenshots for a clearer understanding.
'look at and show payload ’ is not a gateway job . 
.
(the postman does not open and read the letters !!)
Go to console / Application/End-device screen to see , for your end-device it’s own live datas with the raw and clear payload (the second according to your specific payload formatter )
