πŸ†• NEW PINEDIO GATEWAY IMG

ℹ️ WHAT IS IT? Pine64 is a company making interesting, many times unique hardware (like Pinetab with internal SDR / Pinephone + hw keyboard / LoRa attachments), supported by dev in the community. If interested in IoT, you likely have seen some of the common Raspberry Pi based LoRa gateways.

πŸ’‘This is Pine64's equivalent LoRa (long range, low power radio) protocol based gateway. It offers Chirpstack and TTN (TheThingsNetwork), with allowances to switch between.


ℹ️ Advice: read up on LoRa to ensure this is something for your project. LoRa allows for short messages to be relayed (see tutorial below on setup).

You can of course follow other guides for Chirpstack / TTN as the gateway image comes with the concentrator / GPS running for you. Ensure you place GPS antenna near a window for indoor version (otherwise you may not receive strong enough signal)


PICTURES / SCREENSHOTS

Login By SSH / Serial (comes with HDMI port)

Ability To Switch Between TTN (TheThingsNetwork) & Chirpstack

chirpstack-onion: Add E2E Encryption / Worldwide Access Login On Chirpstack

chirpstack-onion command (optional) offers quick option to secure login to Chirpstack from anywhere in the world, without making the address / location public (security).

Alternatively, you can follow official Chirpstack Documentation for adding https.
