Getting started with TTN and LoRa

The goal of this tutorial is to connect a LoRa module to The Things Network, also known as TTN.

Lista de materiales necesarios

  • NUCLEO-L476RG board
  • LoRa® module

Introduction

TTN relies on gateways (LoRa antennas) to provide IoT connectivity.
If a TTN network already exists in your location, you can simply connect your LoRa device to it by following the steps below.
If there is no TTN network around, you might need to create your own TTN network with a gateway with the help of this tutorial : connect-a-new-ttn-gateway

How to find your devEUI

Step 1 : Connect the LoRa-E5 module directly to the "UART" slot.
