Baby steps.... I've been lost in "a maze of twisty little passages" at the end of a long rat hole ... trying to set up my back-end infrastructure to where my LoRa gateway sends GPS data across the internet to get plotted on a map accessible from any browser.
I am using a Dragino LoRa gateway which is now (after many false starts and much head scratching) setup with a WAN ethernet connection to my internet router.
In addition to its LoRa gateway role it is also acting as a Wi-Fi hotspot. It has a web server to allow setup:
And I can use SSH over WiFi to force it to perform tasks like sending GPS data.
For a while there, I thought I had bricked the device - it wasn't communicating at all. This wasn't really the fault of the hardware, just my ignorance on several levels.
I still have not got the right code compiling on either the client or the gateway, but I can tell the gateway to send GPS data to GPSWOX and have it plotted on a map.... baby steps...
This map is a screen capture of my browser showing a (green) track of several locations I had the gateway send to GPSWOX that describe a rectangle in my city.
