My Custom Gateway

I am pretty new to my sensors. Definitely new to creating pcbs. But I did manage some how to create a small pcb in eagle, did the laser toner transfer method and etched it at home, drilled the holes and soldered it all up and go it working. Next step is to design and 3dprint my custom case and get it mounted.

Thanks for all the help you guys have given me.

@NotYetRated Hope you'll find good uses and a fun time while building your sensors.

Quick Range Check on the WIO-E5-LE. The LE version uses only the low power PA, +14dBm max. Using the default settings except for 915MHz #define MY_SX126x_FREQUENCY (SX126x_915MHZ) #define MY_SX126x_LORA_SF LORA_SF7 #define MY_SX126x_LORA_BW LORA_BW_125 #define MY_SX126x_LORA_CR LORA_CR_4_5 I get about 190 meter range, just walking around the neighborhood, line of site except for some trees and power lines. No tuning on the antenna. Just using a 77.9mm wire. Not as dramatic as some have achieved with LoRa radio's, but plenty good enough for my house and yard : )

@fsgraz Did some testing Today and my RFM range is over 80 meters node to node, with no long range antenna. That will be my next test, just waiting for a shipment from China to arrive. I did how ever notice an extreme improvement when I connected the gateway through a USB hub and then started to dig through the forum. @AWI once wrote about using an external PSU to power the long range NRF PA/LAN. I'll try that this weekend as connecting it to they USB port of my PI extended the range to 20 meters Node to Node.

@OldSurferDude yeah, 10 virgin nodes powered up at the same time is a bad idea I seem to remember reading somwewhere here warning aginst that. If yu have node ID trust issues with Mysensors you should move your address to different locaion as 0x00 is used by Mysensors... just sayin..;)
