NMCC and Nicholas. Thank you for your replies. I have been through all the references and have learnt heaps. However, I’m still a bit stuck. Leaving aside mounting the Wisnode on a Mega, I have managed to get the standalone Wisnode to join my gateaway/TTN The join request was acknowledged/established the moment I put a payload into the node;
at+send=lora:1:12345678
So my next question is how do I put a “real” payload into the node?
I have this piece of code from the RAKWireless/WisNode-Arduino-Library
/********************************************************

{
DebugSerial.println(F(“set work_mode failed, please reset module.”));
while(1);
}
RAKLoRa.rk_getVersion(); //get RAK811 firmware version
DebugSerial.println(RAKLoRa.rk_recvData()); //print version number
DebugSerial.println(F(“Start init RAK811 parameters…”));

{

delay(5000);
}
DebugSerial.println(F(“Join LoRaWAN success”));
if(!RAKLoRa.rk_isConfirm(0)) //set LoRa data send package type:0->unconfirm, 1->confirm
{
DebugSerial.println(F(“LoRa data send package set error,please reset module.”));
while(1);
}
}
bool InitLoRaWAN(void)
{
if(RAKLoRa.rk_setJoinMode(JOIN_MODE)) //set join_mode:OTAA
{
if(RAKLoRa.rk_setRegion(5)) //set region EU868
{
if (RAKLoRa.rk_initOTAA(DevEui, AppEui, AppKey))
{
DebugSerial.println(F(“RAK811 init OK!”));
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
void loop() {
DebugSerial.println(F(“Start send data…”));
if (RAKLoRa.rk_sendData(1, buffer))
{
for (unsigned long start = millis(); millis() - start < 90000L;)
{
String ret = RAKLoRa.rk_recvData();
if(ret != NULL)
{
DebugSerial.println(ret);
}
if((ret.indexOf(“OK”)>0)||(ret.indexOf(“ERROR”)>0))
{
DebugSerial.println(F(“Go to Sleep.”));
RAKLoRa.rk_sleep(1); //Set RAK811 enter sleep mode
delay(10000); //delay 10s
RAKLoRa.rk_sleep(0); //Wakeup RAK811 from sleep mode
break;
}
}
}
}
The payload sits here -
char buffer[]= “72616B776972656C657373”;
(1) How do I, for instance, get sensor data into here?
(2) And while I’m at it, how do I get that code above into my Wisnode?
I’ll bet that’s pretty simple for someone, but right now, not for me.
Many thanks. Regards.
