Bus Shelter Install Notes ========================= DHD20160308 LoRa range-test run. Installation crew: Damon HD & Deniz E. Observations before starting: a) c2a1 battery (LoRa node 22) battery voltage (NiMH 2xAA) 2.65V after 1 week, QM1 disabled (no power), mobdet not installed. b) b9f9 battery (LoRa node 04) battery voltage (alkaline 2xAA) 2.45V after 1W, QM1 enabled (and powered), mobdet not installed. c) SF11 / data rate 1 should allow one full-size frame every ~140s, so we will try that, and a mix of adaptive and non-adaptive. Sensors: 1) node 24 in Curtain Rod flag (timetable R). 2) & 3) 21&23 TXing from "Hoxton 7" (Garden Walk). Using OpenTRV GFSK managed ~200m+ line of sight, and 100m through buuldings. (1dBm / ~1mW nominal TX power.) Turning up power to max (~25mW) makes little difference to range, so interference may be more of an issue than raw range. Also TXed back from Curtain Road flag to Jones Family ~20% success rate. (This is far as LoRa has reached at power 1, 14dBm maybe 25mW.) Some corrupted frame (structurally correct, ID correct, final trailer byte OK) fail auth, so a flipped bit in the middle?
