ChirpStack is an open-source LoRaWAN Network Server which can be used to setup LoRaWAN networks.
MakerSpaceKoen Vervloesem shows you how to use ChirpStack’s LoRaWAN implementation to set up long-range wireless traffic for sensors even if you are far from a WiFi access point

SzescstopniSo apparently #Chirpstack can't convert float data from received packets and the best workaround is to convert the float to int in our #LoRaWAN sensors. This world is broken.
I really tried. I went through the docs, various threads, but to no avail. Can't find a way to change the reporting interval of a Makerfabs Agrosense #LoRaWan temperature sensor. There are easy steps for TTN, but not the raw code I could send from #ChirpStack.
Damn. Right now that gateway is sitting on Null Island. We'll need an airlift – it's less of a hassle than changing the location in #Chirpstack.
papiris🏴🇵🇸Fiiinally got the selfhosted #freesoftware #lorawan sheep tracking system for our farm, to reach a working condition!
I stubbornly wanted to run all components in #kubernetes as a learning experience and to ease rollout on other farms, but wooow did I do a lot of learning.
#milesight AT101 trackers and UG67 gateways, connected via mqtt to #chirpstack, with GUI courtesy of #Thingsboard.
I'll clean up the infra a bit and tie it better together, before releasing as playbook, helm or opentofu :)

szescstopniThe #LoRaWAN sensors are moving to a new gateway. Much easier here on Mastodon than in #ChirpStack. https://circumstances.run/@Szescstopni/112832495282564654

Attached: 1 image Distance to water from a sensor above the rainwater tank: Before the rain: 473 mm During the rain now: 432 mm We used 25 mm for watering the garden today, before the rain, and have gained 41 mm since then. Of course had we known it was going to rain we wouldn't have watered the garden :) #LoRaWAN
Can't find a way to move devices between applications in #ChirpStack so I'll have to do it manually. Like an animal.
The more I dig deeper into #ChirpStack the more issues I see. This might be because I don't have full access to the server, should have my own set up in a few days when the new computer arrives (10 yo, but new to me). I'm working on a codec for one device because the one supplied throws js errors and looks like something a drunk llm generated. What really sucks is that Chirpstack won't recode raw data when I modify the codec. And js sucks too, but I really really don't have the time to RTFM for it. I need to get my #LoRaWAN running, and most the work will be on deenshittification of the sensors.
atamakahereJust learned about LoRa modulation and WAN technology—fascinating stuff! It's amazing how a small device can operate for years on a single cell with a decent range of a few kilometers. Been exploring ChirpStack, a network server for LoRa, and it's pretty interesting. Plus, MQTT is heavily used in the embedded ecosystem, and it's definitely a great technology to dive into!
