Internet-of-Things – Lab Exercise 4

This lab exercise’s topic is LoRaWAN. We will use the LoRa Boards provided by the IoT-LAB: ST B-L072Z-LRWAN1 boards with ST MEMS extension X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2.

We will set up a LoRaWAN application which sends data over a network server; finally, we will connect our app to an application server (for a graphical presentation of our data. We will use the same setup as we did for lab exercises 1 & 2: Ubuntu 18.04. (VM) with RIOT-OS and the IoT-Lab.

Document your work with screenshots and thorough explanation where applicable.

Group members: <Gaelle Knibbeler, Anna Kastlunger, Judyta Krzyzak>

Move to your examples directory in RIOT-OS and look for the example lorawan and follow the steps in

I. First Steps with TTN

Registered with TTN, created new application, registered device, wrote the corresponding values to the Makefile, built the board and uploaded it to IoT-Lab. With the correct payload we were getting TTN output as can be seen below.

Provide a screenshot of your data output at TTN.

Device EUI - 0070AA8D42103D15
App EUI - 70B3D57ED0031989
App Key - 656473400680F220155B36005B88CCC1

II. LoRa Example with Sensor Data, TTN, and Cayenne

Download the zip file from Moodle:

lab4_02_lorasensor.zip

Move the unzipped directory into your /myRIOT/examples/ directory and follow the steps back in the hackmd.

Document your steps here with screenshots (IoT-Lab, TTN, myDevices) and thorough explanation.

• What is your data output at TTN?

• How is your data presented on the myDevices dashboard?

Simple values (just like RSSI and SNR in the screenshot below). But we can improve that!

• Adjust the settings of the widgets: e.g. display temperature as line chart. Use various widgets.

Set the widget of temperature to Gauge and the widget of humidity to Graph.

• You can download your data als Excel file (or look at it at right there)

• Upload zip file containing main.c, Makefile.

At first our code had some flaws (Screenshot below) but we were able to fix them (still had some code from exercise 1 in there that was not needed anymore).

III. Going Further – Get 5 Bonus Points

Add the lps22hb atmospheric pressure sensor values to the Cayenne LPP payload.

• Provide screenshots: IoT-LAB, TTN, myDevices.

• Upload zip file containing main.c, Makefile.

Upload lab protocol (pdf), zip-file(s) to Moodle until July 9th, 2020; 11:59pm.
