Hi,

I have tried to follow the instructions in the tutorial here:

Lora Basic Gateway Module - Elecrow

https://www.elecrow.com/wiki/index.php?title=Lora_Basic_Gateway_Module
The Lora Basic Gateway Module is a single-channel Lora gateway module that combines the ESP32 WROOM 32UE with the RA-01H module. It uses a TYPE C USB interface for power supply and is equipped with a LAN8720A-10/100Mbps RMII interface Ethernet chip. In addition to being able to connect to the network via ESP32 WIFI, it can also be connected to a wired network through an RJ45 network interface.

1/ I have managed to get the Lora Basic Gateway operating, but once it is connected to a Wifi there appears to be no way to reconfigure it. For example, if you make a mistake with the server address how can this be modified?

2/ Even with US915 region configured the channel used at 902.30 MHz which is illegal to use in Australia, how can I change the channel being used?

3/ The command given to configure the LoRaWan Node Board do not all work.

For example, when entering the command AT+CLASS=0 and error is returned +CME ERROR:1

Other commands also return an error.

4/ I have been unable to get the board to join the gateway.

5/ There is no sample code for the LoRaWan Node Board to read any of the sensors and publish them.

The lack of detail of how to use the LoRaWan Node Board is very disappointing.

Any other links I could try to further my progress?

Thanks

    I have same problem.

    I received the gateway module yesterday - after Wi-Fi was configured incorrectly, it stopped working - attempts to download new firmware according to the instructions talk about a problem in the project code - a very unsuccessful start - I now have a dead device - has anyone found a solution?

    Arduino does not find all the files specified in the gateway project, they are not there:

    for example #include <TimeLib.h> #include <ArduinoJson.h> #include <gBase64.h> .......
