# Installation and running the RPi-LoRa-Gateway
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install needed packages
|
||
|
|
`
|
||
|
|
sudo apt install python3 python3-rpi.gpio python3-spidev aprx screen git python3-pil python3-smbus
|
||
|
|
`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Checkout the code
|
||
|
|
Enter following commands:<br/>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
cd
|
||
|
|
git clone https://github.com/tomelec/RPi-LoRa-KISS-TNC.git
|
||
|
|
cd RPi-LoRa-KISS-TNC
|
||
|
|
git clone https://github.com/mayeranalytics/pySX127x.git
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
to change into homedirectory and then checkout the code and the LoRa Chip-Driver in the right directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Configuration
|
||
|
|
Afterwards configure as following:
|
||
|
|
### Edit aprx/aprx.conf.lora-aprs file
|
||
|
|
Type:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
cd
|
||
|
|
cd RPi-LoRa-KISS-TNC
|
||
|
|
sudo cp aprx/aprx.conf.lora-aprs /etc/aprx.conf
|
||
|
|
pico -w /etc/aprx.conf
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
to copy and then open the config file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The most important settings are:
|
||
|
|
* **mycall**<br/>
|
||
|
|
Your call with an apropriate SSID suffix<br/>[Paper on SSID's from aprs.org](http://www.aprs.org/aprs11/SSIDs.txt)
|
||
|
|
* **myloc**<br/>
|
||
|
|
NMEA lat/lon form:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
lat ddmm.mmN lon dddmm.mmE
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
lat 4812.52N lon 01622.39E
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
(simplest way to find the right coordinats for this? Go to [aprs.fi](http://www.aprs.fi) on your location right-click and choose "Add marker" then click on the marker and you should see your coordinates in the NMEA style - enter this infos without any symbols into the config file as seen in the example above)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* **passcode**<br/>
|
||
|
|
see [see here to generate appropiate setting](https://apps.magicbug.co.uk/passcode/)
|
||
|
|
* **server**<br/>
|
||
|
|
either leave the default server or if you're connected to Hamnet as well insert an APRSIS Server within the hamnet - a List of Aprs Hamnet servers can be found in the [OEVSV Wiki](http://wiki.oevsv.at/index.php/Anwendungen_am_HAMNET#APRS_Server))
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to save and close the file do:
|
||
|
|
`Strg + x` -> Y -> Enter
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Edit driver config file
|
||
|
|
Type
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
pico -w pySX127x/SX127x/board_config.py
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
change in line 36
|
||
|
|
from
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
DIO0 = 22 # RaspPi GPIO 22
|
||
|
|
DIO0 = 5 # RaspPi GPIO 5
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
to fix the SPI connection #todo how can we config this from outside?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Start the LoRa KISS TNC and aprx server instance
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
python3 Start_lora-tnc.py &
|
||
|
|
sudo aprx
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Stop the server's
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
