LoRa Environmental Node

Long-range low-power sensor node for a controlled private test network. Long-range low-power sensor node for a controlled private test network.

Components

  • LoRa node
  • gateway
  • sensor payload

Build steps

  1. Inventory the board, actuators, sensors, and power rails listed for W04.
  2. Build and inspect the low-voltage wiring against the supplied connection diagram before connecting actuators.
  3. Flash the firmware, run the startup self-check, and record the printed board and firmware version.
  4. Calibrate the sensors and limits, then run the acceptance tests at the lowest safe energy level.

Test and expected result

Packet delivery, duty cycle, battery current, and gateway outage behavior.

Safety and limits

Follow local radio regulations and use a private test network.
