Hi, nice video. I'm new about LoRa. Can you explain, how if there are more LoRa device active at the same time? Will it be interfere with each other? the idea that I got from your explanation, LoRa will check and receive all signal from other LoRa whether it is a known device or unknown device. If like that, LoRa will take more time to check the right address sender device.

Specific to this example that I showed in the video, it might seem that the 2 nodes are receiving data from each other simultaneously, but it is not. The code adds a little random interval time plus a constant period of 2 seconds: github.com/hutscape/hutscape.github.io/blob/master/_tutorials/lora-duplex-a/lora-duplex-a.ino#L36. This ensures the 2 nodes are not "clashing" or interfering with each other. You can say that this is a very simplified form of ALOHA random access protocol www.scholarpedia.org/article/Aloha_random_access "In an ALOHA channel each transmitter sharing the channel transmits data packets at random times."

​@@sayanee Yes, I see. Thanks.

I really enjoyed this - clearly spoken, clearly explained, well paced, focussed, engaging and technically very competent. Thank you. Subscribed.

I had been looking at the adafruit data sheet with the example code for RX and TX transmission.... and that was rather long winded. This was clean and crisp. Thank you so much!

There are many things that I have to learn about LORA, thank's for the explanation.

Excellent clear description!!

Great video! Thanks a lot for explaining everything so clearly.

Excellent project!! Very well explained and very usefull!!

Excellent, Heltec LoRa V2 is also a good module on oled, great . Sx1278 and Sx1268 is a good module.

great tutorial!

wow its too nice explanation . thanks

excellent video, I am learning LORA Arduino and also English. She also looks like an English teacher.

Explained very well ....

Excellent video

nice explanation

Great video! But I have a doubt, the EN pin doesn't need to be connected to any pin of the Arduino?

hi, ive notice you´re not implementing things like Duty cycle, spreading facture(SF), code rate, power transmition, bandwidth. My question is: when using only lora(not lloraWAN) we can simply ignore most of the regulations like the duty cycle, SF/bandwidth? thanx for the explanation.

Is it possible to use two LoRa which one of them being client and another being server? Such as one of them sending the data, another receiving the data only.

Excellent video! I'm working on a multiple objects GPS tracking project where I track objects in movement, and I need to repeat their signals using repeaters(obviously) to finally receive them in the master device (objects -> repeaters -> Master) or well (objects -> Master). It's a really long dinstance the signals have to travel (from the master to one of the repeaters is around 33KM!!!) I think LoRa in 433mhz is my best option, what do you think? What results did you get in your project? Thank you a lot, now I'm a subscriber :)

Thanks for sharing! I'm working on a simple GPS LoRaWAN keychain. It was about a 500m line of sight with the antenna I showed. I haven't yet optimized anything in the firmware or the antenna to get a longer range. Regarding the frequency, isn't it mandated by the country? Hence, I have to use the 915MHz.

Thank u for the vid! Question though, if i want to send only from one node and receive only from the other, do i still need the timing and delay?

@sayanee

2 жыл бұрын

I guess no. If one is receiving and the other is solely transmitting, then just set the transmitting to a periodic interval (or whenever your application needs to transmit). Set the receiving node to receive the packet continuously. I have the TX and RX examples: hutscape.com/tutorials/lora-tx hutscape.com/tutorials/lora-rx

thanks for the tutorial, i tried this but it just show that it sending without receiving. is it means just my receiver module that broken, or the transmiter it self? can anyone help me?

You should have 2 exact pairs of the same LoRa node. If you cannot receive with node A, then try swapping around E.g. Make Node A transmit and Node B receive and vice-versa.

Hi Sayanee, Thanks for the post. Just in case 2 nodes transmit simultaneously and there is a collision , is there an automatic re transmit with some random backoff , built into the LoRa hardware , Or is the data lost ?

@sayanee

Great question!! LoRa (which I covered in this video) in the OSI layer only covers the *Physical layer*, so I believe we can tackle the collision problem in the upper layers like the Transport Layer. LoRaWAN on the other hand covers the higher layers in the OSI model. I think the hardware only has support for the Physical Layer for the radio, so we have to incorporate our own upper layers to tackle this collision. As an analogy, TCP which is in the Transport layer of the OSI model, deals with the delivery of data from the source to the destination and it guarantees the delivery, but UDP does not guarantee the delivery of data. Ethernet or WiFi in the Physical layer does not deal with this.

I am using Ra-02 SX1278 and Arduino Uno, When I use the example sender and receiver, I have constant communication but whenever I use the codes here, I always get "Sending data..." on one node and "Error: Message length does not match length" on the other node. Why is that so? I am planning to use this to connect 4 LoRa but I can't even connect 2 of them.

I suggest looking into other ways of "capturing" the data if that's what you are trying to do. For example, record it on some memory on the board or send it off to a gateway to be stored in the cloud. It all depends on what you are trying to do.

Probably because LoRa is a low bandwidth protocol. You need a higher-level application-based framework with LoRaWAN to help you with this. Try Meshtastic maybe: meshtastic.org/

@@kashifshad3265 Yes you can. I did exactly that - no internet, just GPS + LoRa (not LoRaWAN) and then calculate the Haversine distance. The cars need to be in a fairly open space, but you need to test them out in your preferred environment. You might just need to be aware of the accuracy of the GPS. Depending on the speed of the cars, you will need to test the response time, I guess.

Sure! If you want to use another wireless protocol, BLE, WiFi, SigFox, NFC, 4G are all possible. With all wireless protocols, there are constraints on power usage, bandwidth, and range. Which wireless we chose, in the end, will all depend on the particular application we are building for.

Good tutorial, but it's a pity that you say "go ahead" all the time. E. g. 5 times during 35 seconds: ...Let's GO AHEAD and detect whether the ports are available right now. I haven't linked any of the nodes, so let me GO AHEAD and link node "A". Similarly I will GO AHEAD and plug-in the node "B". And now if I GO AHEAD and query the ports - two ports are available. So let's GO AHEAD and just copy it. ...
