maco2035 / diyheliumhotspots Goto Github PK

I'm trying to setup a Helium Hotspot in Europe but packet forwarder does not start because two commas at the end of the file:

    "forward_crc_disabled": false,
},

}

The commas should be removed !

I have configured miner (using docker image) and semtech pkt fwd sx1302. What to do after this? How to add this diy gateway in helium block chain. Please provide some information.

Your guide is awesome, unfortunately limited to the 2287.

The 2285 uses the sxp1301 - can you help with setting this up for a neophyte? GREATLY APPRECIATED!

After resolving the commas issue, that is the result :

Can't find a solution :(

Help appreciated

Note: the module works nicely in the things network and the official configuration from Helium, not this one.

Is it still possible to build your own Helium hotspot that can actually mine HNT?
I am new to github, but my searches led me here and I would like get in touch with you, if possible and if you agree.
I'm only doing this because it's a nightmare to buy Helium hotspots from any retailer, I would buy 10 of them right now but the problem is that the order is taking at least 4 months to get to me

Hi,

I am trying to set up the auto start script with the following:

[Unit]
Description=LoRa Packet Forwarder
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=~/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd
ExecStart=~/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/lora_pkt_fwd -c ~/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/global_conf.json
Restart=always
RestartSec=30
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=lora_pkt_fwd
User=pi

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

When I reboot and check status I get the following:

● lora_pkt_fwd.service - LoRa Packet Forwarder
   Loaded: bad-setting (Reason: Unit lora_pkt_fwd.service has a bad unit file setting.)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Could you let me know what I am doing wrong please?

I am new to Helium Hotspot and I am giving a try to this tutorial.

I have RAK2245 plus Tinker Board 2S
What steps in the tutorial may present a problem if I use the hardware I have instead RAK2287 plus RPi 4?

Thanks,
Oscar.
