Linking Autonomo board profile to Arduino IDE (current version of Arduino IDE is 1.8.5)<\/h2>\n

The Autonomo\u2019s board profile is available through the Arduino Boards Manager. In order to install the board files I added the SODAQ board manager URL on File->Preferences->Additional Board Manager URLs<\/p>\n

http:\/\/downloads.sodaq.net\/package_sodaq_samd_index.json<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

From the Board Manger (Tools->Board->Board Manger) I installed the SODAQ Boards (SODAQ SAMD boards for the Autonomo).<\/a><\/p>\n

I configured the actual board rig with Autonomo, LoraBee, antenna, grove shield, solar panel and a lipo battery (3.7V, 1200mAh, 1804, KC 503562P).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, I connected the board rig to my computer and from the boards list I selected the SODAQ Autonomo.<\/p>\n

For some reason when I requested the Board Info from the Arduino IDE I got BN: SODAQ SARA (!?)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

My intention is to compile the SODAQ LoraBee example code (here):<\/p>\n

To do so, a number of libraries needed to be installed first. These were Sodaq_RN2483, Sodaq_BMP085, Sodaq_SHT2x. From Sketch->Include Library->Manage Libraries I searched and installed them respectively.<\/p>\n
I built the default code with no errors. Next step was to configure the TTN application.<\/p>\n
Creating a TheThingsNetwork (TTN) application<\/h2>\n
Next step was to create the TTN application and device. <\/p>\n
I logged in to my TTN account and went to my console: https:\/\/console.thethingsnetwork.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n
and clicked on the “Applications” icon.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
I clicked on “add application” and filled in Application ID: autonomo-test1, description (blah blah) and Handler: ttn-handler-eu. Application EUI is automatically issued by TTN.<\/p>\n
Next, from within the aforementioned application, I clicked on “Devices” and “register device”. I gave it a name “autonomo-01” and from Settings (top right) I changed the Activation Method to ABP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
Finally, from the Device->Overview I copied the following and replaced the respective values on the example code (I used the msb values by clicking the <><\/strong> hex\/C-style conversion icon from the TTN UI): <\/p>\n
\n
Device Address: <\/li>\n
Network Session Key<\/li>\n
App Session Key<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n
Next big thing is to actually send something useful and configure the Payload Formats and Integration methods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
