Pycom LoPy
The LoPy from Pycom is a great module that mates an ESP32 processor running Python with LoRa, WiFi and BLE radios. Its super easy to quickly get going with the ability to send an receive using an onboard Python interpreter. This page describes how to setup and install a board with OpenChirp. Its worth noting that while this is an easy way to get going quickly its unclear how power efficient the ESP32 running Python is in its current form. We are doing some testing, but its likely not as efficient as boards that are optimized specifically for power. Below is a photo of the LoPy with a standard I/O expansion kit for connecting to GPIO.
- Download the pycom software from pycom's website to update the LoPy firmware (optional)
- Install ATOM as described in the LoPy Install Instructions
Skip to Step 2 in the LoRa Device Tutorial to walk through setting it up on OpenChirp. Remember that we need the DevID from your node and you have to generate a AppEUI and AppKey for your devices.
