I have a few questions about the RAK7249 LoRa gateway.
(a) I have setup the gateway indoor and it seems that it did not acquire GPS coordinates and altitude. Possible that I setup it indoor, that it did not acquire GPS coordinates? I just want to know if the gateway would automatically tries to look for the GPS coordinates once it turns on?
(b) I’ve used the built in LoRa Server of the gateway. I was able to receive data from nodes. However, live data disappears after a while. Is the gateway’s built in server capable of storing the data in the gateway itself and retrieve it after?
I already connected my GPS antenna of my RAK7249 before turning it on. After some time still there is no GPS data shown in your photo on your reply above. However, I setup the gateway indoor. I just want to clarify, once the gateway is turned on, it automatically searches for GPS data or should I manually do it to find the location? Is it possible that I did not retrieve any data as I setup it indoor?
My plan is to download all the data (e.g. for 1 whole day) sent by my node to the gateway’s built in server, any suggestions on this? Do I need to connect the built in server to an external database or is it possible to extract all application data from the built in server itself?
Thank you for the information @Nicholas. Sorry I am still new to LoRa Gateways and node.
For the data, so for me to be able to retrieve all the data for one whole day, I need to stay on the LoRaWAN Packet Logger page (so data will not disappear) for the whole day? Then after that, download and extract all of the data? Is my understanding right?
Just a question,
(1) On what format are the data files are once downloaded?
(2) Is it also possible to retrieve all of the data from the gateway’s built in server by using WebAPi or the HTTP integration?
I already tried downloading the csv data from LoRa Packet Logger. It works, thanks!
(1) Now, is it possible to retrieve the metadata of my node transmissions from the built-in server? Any suggestion here
(2) What is the payload data format? Why is it different from the one that I am sending from my node?
I already switched the format to HEX format. However, the problem still exists. When I sent my data through the serial port, it is not the same with the payload received in the gateway built in server. Also, as I send my data repeatedly, the payload changes. See attached for more details. What is the problem here?
I’m sorry to tell you that you can only see the sent parsed data here, but it cannot be saved as mentioned before, and it can only see the data of one node instead of more.
Noted. I was also able to see this as I work on it yesterday.
(1) I am just curious, why does the payload changes at packet logger (even though same payload is sent)?
(2) On my sent/receive, why does my transmission states it is ‘unconfimred’? What is the difference if it is ‘confirmed’ or ‘unconfirmed’?
(3) I saw the HTTP integration at the application. Can I use it to get my metadata of my transmitted message? or is there an other way?
