Hardware Guide

The board is provided with:

• NXP FRDM-KL26Z Board
• Microchip RN2483 Module
• RSR1066 board

The Microchip RN2483 module provides LoRaWAN™ protocol connectivity using a simple UART interface. The NXP MKLS26Z is connected to the Microchip module using the configuration 57600 8N1 without using RTS, CTS lines.

Configuration RN2483

The connection used by RN2483 is ABP (Activation by Personalization). To use this connection it is required to setup the RN device only one time. Every Lora Sensor Node bought is already configured. The commands used were:

sys factoryRESET

sys get hweui

mac set deveui [hweui key read]

mac set devaddr [last less significant hexs of hweui key]

mac set appskey AFBECD56473829100192837465FAEBDC

mac set nwkskey [hweui key repeated two times]

mac save

After saving this setup is not required repeat the opeation of setup. In order to send data in the Lora network the two used commands are:

• mac join abp: used to join the Lora network
• mac tx cnf 4 18AABBCC: used to send the frame “18AABBCC” on the port 4
