LoRaWAN P2P 02: Send

This example shows how to configure the module for P2P mode and the corresponding parameters. After this, the example shows how to send packets to other radio modules which must be set with the same radio settings

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x LoRaWAN module 1 x 868 MHz antenna

Notes

- This is part of a two-code example. A receiver Waspmote needs to be used with the related p2p third example. - It is not recommended to work without an antenna screwed to the module. The module could be damaged due to RF reflections. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15
