Neste encontro iremos conectar e ativar devices na plataforma LoRaWan do LHC e devices no broken RabbitMQ.

Vamos iniciar com uma breve revisão sobre o Gateway LoRa do LHC que roda um OpenWRT customizado por membro do hackerspace, ligando na plataforma ChirpStack.

Agora o LHC tem a plataforma funcionando com ChirpStack e RabbitMQ para iniciar uma nova rodada de experimentos. Ativando novos sensores, criando novas conexões com dispositivos para novas experimentações. Oportunidade para aprender e participar do projeto aberto no Hackerspace.

Essa atividade não tem custo, basta registrar e colar no encontro.
Recomendamos trazer laptop e seus dispositivos para testar e implementar junto com os participantes.

So 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.
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.

I'll clean up the infra a bit and tie it better together, before releasing as playbook, helm or opentofu :)
The #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

GSV Sleeper Service
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.

Just 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!

I got passive roaming working between two different ChirpStack instances (netids 000000 and 00001). Yay! Except... Join server is something else and ChirpStack doesn't do it. Boo! #LoRaWAN #ChirpStack
