MPLAB IPE v4.15

x745
getting debug info


I’m thinking of hooking up a spare RPI3 to ‘parse’ this debug info :sunglasses:

Ok, so it is safe to order this one?

absolutely.

there is a nice feature build in… but not operational yet and that is (will be a firmware update) … you can plug in a micro sd card with the firmware you want to flash (think community help flashing GW’s)

Also the cable doesn’t come with it (made myself)

gateway is running now (tested with TTN node ) but I have to make a little uart cable to get some debug output

I ordered one the same way you did. I live in Holland :slight_smile:

ok… I know the guy / company behind it… 100% :sunglasses:

he is very active on Tweakers (MUX) and he orders from his Farnell account, but the goods ships direct to you… this one came from the UK within a few days by courier costing only his 2 E extra.
I do order this way when I need Farnell products because I don’t have a business account there (or anywhere :wink:)

I knew the initiative but have never ordered with him. There is always a first time.
