Debugging a Things Network Kickstarter Lora Gateway
/Not sure if anyone reading this blog really needs to know this one, but I need to keep a record of it somewhere and it it is what I’m doing today. If you (or even I) ever want to debug a Things Network Kickstarter gateway you can do this by connecting a seral cable to the jumper inside. I’m using a Raspberry Pi serial connector and with that you connect the white wire (which is the input to the computer running the terminal program) to the RX connection on the pins in the top right hand corner. The black cable goes onto the ground connection. I actually used my SimpleTerrm browser terminal to view the output from the gateway:
