• The user running the application must be in the dialout and gpio groups.

Library

From PyPI

# Create a virtualenv (optional)
python3 -m virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
# Install the package -- this will pull the dependencies
pip install rak811

From GitHub

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/AmedeeBulle/pyrak811.git
cd rak811
# Create a virtualenv (optional)
python3 -m virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
# Install the package -- this will pull the dependencies
pip install .

Usage

See the example directory on GitHub:

• api_demo.py: demo most of the API calls
• otaa.py example
• abp.py example

To run the examples, first copy the ttn_secrets_template.py to ttn_secrets.py and enter your LoRaWan TheThingsNetwork keys.

Note: you do not need to hard_reset the module each time you run a script. However you must do it the first time after a (re)boot to activate the module.
