1: how do i get my gateway to be connected 2: do i need to use at commands on the I-Nucleo to communicate through it 3: how do i know if the I-Nucleo is sending it data? 4: how do i know if the gateway is receiving any data?

Hi All,

I am quite new to LoRa so if I am in the wrong forum area I do apologise. If anyone has any information based on my issues below I would appreciate a reply.

I have followed the setup guide from STMicroelectronics for the P-Nucleo-LRWAN2:

I have loaded the following bin file to the gateway: st-nucleo-lora-gw-at-fw-v2.1.7-eu868-TTN.bin

I have loaded the I-NUCLEO_LRWAN1 with the AT_Master firmware as instructed.

hi, I can't load the firmware into the gateway...

the .bin file is too large to load, how did you do it? (the .bin file is the same)

thanks

Hi,

I just dragged and dropped the file into the virtual drive it creates when connected to the PC.

It should just load upload automatically then.

I have zipped my .bin file for you to compare with.

Be sure to follow the instruction exactly if you miss a step in The Things Network Setup you will need to start again.

@PR.4onan​ which I-cube version did you use and what application example (End node, AT Master, or PingPong)?

PingPong is a point-to-point radio demo, it doesn't use the gateway..

@Community member​ thanks for your feedback and for your invaluable tips. Your comments are a way better than any ST documentation and I am learning a lot with it. So, congratulations for the amazing work.

I am new to Lora and when I choose the P-Nucleo-LRWAN2 dev kit I was looking to the change of deploying my own Lora network with both the gateway and the end device. I was also expecting to have good documentation to start building my own applications. However, in my opinion, the ST documentation is not good enough and lacks on several key points for beginners like me. For instance, they do not explain the communication between the I-NUCLEO-LRWAN1 shield and the NUCLEO-L073RZ board, the End Node app is target for the shield or for the NUCLEO-L073RZ board?

Thanks for the feedback.
