LoRaWAN Global 11: Join OTAA send tiny frame

This example shows how to configure the module and send tiny frames to a LoRaWAN gateway with ACK after join a network using OTAA.

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x LoRaWAN EU or LoRaWAN IN or LoRaWAN ASIA-PAC / LATAM module 1 x 868 MHz Antenna (for EU and IN bands) or 900 MHz Antenna (for AU, US, AS and KR bands)

Notes

- This example can be executed in Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15

/*
    ------ LoRaWAN Code Example --------

    Explanation: This example shows how to configure the module and
    send tiny frames to a LoRaWAN gateway with ACK after join a network
    using OTAA.

    This type of frame has been designed to create short frames with data.
