  • Pushing the Limits: A 6km LoRa Range Test with the PTSolns SX1276 Shield

    TTB #29: Pushing the Limits: A 6km LoRa Range Test with the PTSolns SX1276 Shield

    A recent field test of the PTSolns LoRa SX1276 915 MHz Shield demonstrated just how powerful long range IoT communication can be. In a real world countryside test, a transmitter node successfully maintained a reliable connection at a distance of over 6.15 km (3.82 miles). Using the SX1276 LoRa engine and onboard AHT20 environmental sensor, the system transmitted live data while tracking RSSI and SNR performance. Even with an SNR below the RF noise floor, packets were decoded reliably thanks to LoRa’s Chirp Spread Spectrum technology. This experiment highlights how LoRa enables robust, ultra long range wireless communication for remote...

  • Node-to-Gateway LoRa Network

    TTB #28: Node-to-Gateway LoRa Network

    This tutorial demonstrates how to build a simple and reliable node to Gateway LoRa network using the PTSolns LoRa SX1276 915MHz Shield and a compatible Uno development board. Assuming a working nearby Gateway, this tutorial shows how to configure The Things Industries End Device so to work with the Shield. Full sketch and steps are provided. Hardware setup is minimal, requiring only stacked shields and USB cables, making this an accessible starting point for long range wireless experimentation.

    TTB #27: Node-to-Node LoRa Network

    This tutorial demonstrates how to build a simple and reliable node to node LoRa network using the PTSolns LoRa SX1276 915MHz Shield and a compatible Uno development board. You will learn how two LoRa nodes communicate directly without a gateway, transmit temperature data using the onboard AHT20 sensor, and implement acknowledgements to improve reliability. The tutorial also explains how to interpret RSSI and SNR values to evaluate link quality and range. Hardware setup is minimal, requiring only stacked shields and USB cables, making this an accessible starting point for long range wireless experimentation.
