LoRa Page

Introduction

I know nothing of LoRa but like putting boxes together and getting them to talk so lets do it.

Equipment

So I thought I would start with two LilyGO Model T3 v1.6.1. I think they were $30 NZD

Environment

Operating System

Been Ubuntu for a while. Mainly because it still supports team and I guess I know the most about it. So for now Ubuntu 24.04

IDE Arduino 2.3.3

Well I dislike the Arduino software with a passion. I know it is free and someone has clearly put a lot of effort into making it and a lot of people use it but it is just horrible to use in a project for me. All my problem not yours.

Always a challenge run Arduino for me but the way I did it this time was download it from https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-ide/nightly/arduino-ide_nightly-latest_Linux_64bit.zip

I unzipped it to and set the permission. No idea it this is a good thing or bad so don't do it on something you care about

cd ~/bin
unzip arduino-ide_nightly-20240630_Linux_64bit.zip
cd ~/bin/arduino-ide_nightly-20240630_Linux_64bit
sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox 
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox
# Put this in your bash profile ~/.bashrc or run here 
export PATH=~/bin/arduino-ide_nightly-20240630_Linux_64bit:$PATH
