@lupyuen Sure, but students should get the school to invest $150-250 (Dragino LG308 for instance) in a LoraWAN gateway. And hobbyist could then possibly rely on schools.

@niclas Yep I'm thinking maybe hobbyists and students could tap on the free The Things Network 🤔

@lupyuen I work quite a lot with LoraWAN, to read room temperature data. It should be understood that if you need coverage, you install gateways yourself... Otherwise, your devices/users may be without coverage without notice.

I hope you have good #TheThingsNetwork Wireless Coverage in your area ...Coverage in Singapore is so spotty 😭

Why set LoRaWAN Version to "1.0.2 Rev B"? Because #TheThingsNetwork has been upgraded recently ... Setting the incorrect LoRaWAN Version will cause Message Integrity Code errors! (I tried)

Under our #TheThingsNetwork Application, add an End Device ... LoRaWAN Version MUST be "1.0.2" and "1.0.2 Rev B" ... Or we will get Message Integrity Code errors!
