Packing the #LoRaWAN gateway in a waterproof enclosure. Yes, there was a good reason to attach that car lamp light bulb to the box.
@PlumpCat I honestly don't know the gain, but I'll let you know tomorrow – other people working on this project will know :) Bear in mind that this is a sparsely populated area with little interference, so I'm not sure how our experiences, which we will share somewhere pretty soon, is applicable to your situation. I definitely will try to see how a LoRaWAN tracker works on our dogs :)
@PlumpCat The latest LoRaWAN specification allows for triangulation, we'll be testing that some time in the future – the experimental gateway doesn't have this capability. Still waiting for info on the antenna gain.
@szescstopni ah yes the Time Difference of Arrival or TDOA! My gateway is also incapable of this but all new gateways I purchase will come with this feature. I am quite interested to see how accurate something like that can be. From paper it seems like it would be extremely accurate! Thanks for checking the gain!
Though our projects have a lot of differences, I am certain to experience some sort of "leaf fade" come the spring and would love to have an example to sort of compare to a bit. Don't feel like you need to go out of your way for that. My project involves nobody else but myself, yours seems like a big job!
@PlumpCat I'm not sure about the precision of TDOA. I hope I'll have a few stationary sensors soon to see how leaves interfere. I'm in the very early stage of learning this stuff, but fortunately I work with people who know what they're doing. will share results, and I guess we'll be in touch regarding tracking.
@szescstopni oh man I look forward to seeing how the dog tracking works!! That will be cool to see. Too bad dead reckoning gps devices cost so much still!
