LoRa Device Tutorial

When setting up a LoRa client device, you need to do five main steps:

1. Create a description for the device in OpenChirp (described in Device Tutorial)
2. Setup the firmware on the specific device and get the LoRa DevID (specific to device, see below)
3. Add the LoraWAN service in OpenChirp and input the DevID
4. Add a decoder service (Byte Translator or Easybits)
5. Add a TimeSeries datastore service

Step 1: Create a device in OpenChirp

Step 2: Load firmware onto your device

Though the firmware is specific to your device, here are some common devices with examples that work with OpenChirp:

• PyCom LoPy
• LoRaBUG
• MultiTech Mdot
