Getting Started

Before you use the board, you'll have to enable SPI from raspi-config first. See this link for the tutorial.

Then, install the bcm2835 library on your Raspberry Pi. See this link for tutorial and library source code.

bcm2835 is required for code examples that we're about to show you.

Note that when you're using LoRaWAN, you need to plug the jumper to the GPIO8 and NSS header.

Code examples

• Simple LoRa Gateway
• Single Channel Packet Forwarder (LoRaWAN).
• RadioHead by hallard. You can check for the code at the examples/raspi/rf95 directory.
