I have looked through a couple LoRa node repositories ( https://github.com/wklenk/lmic-rpi-lora-gps-hat ) and ( https://github.com/rneurink/MAX32660_LMIC ) and I cannot find anything to do with sending any normal real human writing as data. Is there any easy way to do this? Eg. send “Hello World” from …

You could simply send the ASCII character code and decode at other end…though it is not recommended to send ‘data’ as text (and vise versa) as this is very inefficient in the context of small payloads, long battery life and infrequent traffic and need to keep duty cycle to a minimum…may be that if y…

[image] Jeff-UK: You could simply send the ASCII character code and decode at other end This is the part that I am stuck on. I appreciate the rest of what you said, but the “simple” stuff still has me confused. Are there any repositories that you could recommend where I could customize the …

I should add that I have gotten the node and the gateway to talk to each other, I’m just onto the next step of sending what I actually want to send, and after many google searches, I have not been able to find any repository that will let me easily set any custom characters.

I don’t know of any repo to do that. My thought is to take the thethingsnetwork-send-v1 example program from https://github.com/wklenk/lmic-rpi-lora-gps-hat and adapt it to take in command line arguments that specify the various keys needed and allow arbitrary hex data to be specified. example: ttn…

This seems to be the right topic to ask questions about my setup. The quote below gives some background info on my project. [image] I’m working on a project to collect RFID tag data from chickadees. We plan to have 8 - 10 lora nodes in the woods transmitting the tags we read when the birds visi…

Apart that sending strings through LoRaWAN is discouraged because you will send long packets, text is just numbers coded according to ASCII, so it is just matter of sending the string you want as is. The basic LMIC example shows exactly what you want…

So has anybody been able to successfully send any type of data over The Things Network? I have yet to see any example or any proof. For example, I want is to send the number “12”. Can anybody here show me that they can do that, or show me how I could with step by step instructions and not just tel…

Send a single byte payload in binary format with your app decoding as such : 000001100 :slight_smile:

[image] dgaechter: see “Hello World” come up on the gateway. That will only happen if you run a network stack on the gateway. Otherwise the gateway will forward any LoRaWAN packets it receives to the backend where the data will be visible. [image] dgaechter: I have gotten the node and th…

Again: the basic LMIC example sends precisely “Hello world”, like you asked. However, as others told you, on the Console you will read it as bytes, but is there. Unfortunately programming requires some knowledge of… programming and thus also of how data is represented inside computers :wink: . The …
