Lorawan V3 support

Post by jaxandra »

Adafruit has several boards that host the RFM 95 chip but they all seem to lack Lorawan v3 support. I bought these under the assumption that they were compatible.

Is there a plan to provide v3 support? If not for a gateway, it would be nice to have end device support through CircuitPython as there are many gateway implementations out there unlike end devices. Thanks!

The guide for using the LoraWAN with Adafruit boards starts with this:
This guide is deprecated and is no longer possible! Single-channel packet forwarders no longer work after the Things Network migration to The Things Stack v3. For more information about this decision,

That post linked here refers to single channel gateways. I would expect that a feather sensor node should work fine. I have a TTN Indoor Gateway. I'd like to use my feathers with it. I agree my 32u4 LoRa board is too memory limited. But I have hope now that adafruit has a rp2040 LoRa board, lots of RAM. It should run the LMIC library?

There are a few different LMIC libraries, but I've seen some success with this one.
