LoRaWAN gateway as offline

@thethingsntwrk console shows my #LoRaWAN gateway as offline, friends confirm the same with their gateways. Is it something local?
A proper antenna for my LoRaWAN gateway

Finally a proper antenna for my @thethingsntwrk #LoRaWAN gateway.

Ah, that Daylight Saving Time nonsense again..
pi+3.5″ 3D printed enclosure won’t close

Fail of the day: @adafruit 's pi+3.5" 3D printed enclosure won't close. I have their older 3.5" TFT+touch version though, this was designed for the newer one.

RFM95 with a simple 82mm wire as antenna

RFM95 with a simple 82mm wire as antenna has a much better range than the ESP32 TTGO LORA module with uFL antenna. Less is more? #LoRaWAN #IoT
SAMD21 based Moteino M0 + rfm95 LoRaWAN module

#SAMD21 based Moteino M0 + rfm95 #LoRaWAN module + SPI flash sleep current around 12uA. Not great, not terrible. Wakes periodically to send data to The Things Network using LMIC Arduino library. #IoT Dropped to 8.5uA with "crystalless" option.. cool π

Non-standard PCB thickness of 1.3mm on the Moteino M0

Wondering why @LowPowerLab Felix decided to use non-standard PCB thickness of 1.3mm on the Moteino M0, can't use a standard RPSMA connector
3Dprinted an enclosure for a TTGO ESP32 LoRaWAN node

#3Dprinted an enclosure for a TTGO #ESP32 #LoRaWAN node, not a very good fit though.. will try alternatives
SAMD21D as a mass storage device

Experimenting with SAMD21D posing as a mass storage device using @Adafruit's TinyUSB library – planning on using this feature to expose configuration JSONs #IoT Added external SPI flash and using it as R/W mass storage device, works nice and smooth π Firmware configurations are now esposed as JSON file when you plug it in aβ¦
Moteino M0 and RFM95 LoRaWAN module

Just received a @LowPowerLab Moteino M0, will use it with the RFM95 #LoRaWAN module I tweeted earlier. Has the SAMD21 Cortex M0 uC, a good chance for me to learn more about these. #IoT
RFM95 LoRaWAN modules to experiment with IoT

80cm 5.8dBi antenna for my RAK2247 based LoRaWAN gateway

Ordered a 80cm 5.8dBi antenna for my @RAKwireless RAK2247 based #LoRaWAN gateway.
TTN LoRaWAN gateway on the roof

Moved my TTN #LoRaWAN gateway to the roof, should have much better coverage than indoors.

Sofia and suburbs with one of @boyannedkov #LoRaWAN GPS

Drove around Sofia and suburbs with one of @boyannedkov #LoRaWAN GPS trackers, impressive coverage for a 20mW RFM95 transmitter. Managed to reach a gateway 32km away, practically no blind spots. External antenna, pictured below. #ttn #ttnmapper

GCC based SDK
@Flashoholic Just heard back from Dialog Semi: "we are working on a GCC based SDK but this is not public yet and not ready to be released." – That's great news
