Getting started with The Things UNO

Getting Started with The Things UNO

Super simple code samples to get you started with The Things UNO and The Things Network.

Instructions

• Install Arduino IDE and connect your The Things UNO to your computer.

• Ensure that in the IDE 'Tools -> Board' is set to 'Arduino Leonardo' (otherwise compilation will fail, as it will not recognize Serial1)

• Clone this repository:

   $ git clone [e-mail]:gonzalocasas/thethings-uno.git
  

• Open the Arduino IDE and then open the getting started sketch.

• Open the LoRa.cpp file and assign a new device address to your device on the line Serial1.write("mac set devaddr 5A480101\r\n");. For TTN Zurich, please use the address space 5A4801xx (i.e. replace xx with an hex value) ⁽¹⁾.

• Compile and upload the code.

• Head over to the API and see your packets coming in.

• Rejoice and hack something cool!

⁽¹⁾ TTN doesn't support over-the-air activation yet, so this is only temporary. In a later stage, it won't be needed to manually assign a device address, but for now, please be a good boy/girl and respect the address space.
