# LoRa-Arduino quickstart project

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikimer/LoRa/master/assets/intro_img.png)

# Overview
###This project allows you to quickly try LoRa communications. 
#### Duration: This is a 3-hour project

**LoRa** is an exciting new technology for communicating at **Lo**ng **Ra**nge, low power, and low cost.  This project uses an Arduino Mega and a [Multitech mDot LoRa node](http://www.multitech.com/models/94557148LF) to send data to the [Senet LoRa network](https://portal.senetco.com/).  Senet has deployed gateways to receive the LoRa signal in select regions of the United States; [Zapier](https://zapier.com) and  Google Spreadsheets provide the rest of the software.

This project was developed by the [Orange IoT Studio](http://orangeiotstudio.com/) to promote the adoption of LoRa. To that end, the IoT Studio is [supporting companies](http://orangeiotstudio.com/) interested in LoRa by providing [developer resources](assets/build_off_quickstart.md), donating hardware kits and by funding co-development.

### LoRa is great for IoT
LoRa is an ideal communications technology for many internet-of-things (IoT) devices because **internet connectivity** is a key feature of IoT while also one of IoT devices' the biggest pain points.  Specifically, pairing devices with WiFi is tedious and cellular connectivity is expensive and power intensive; both technologies are designed to transmit megabytes (MB) of data. That's where LoRa comes in. For simple IoT devices that only need to send kilobytes (KB) of data or less, LoRa is an ideal solution.

Public LoRa networks are being deployed world wide, including by [Orange in France](http://www.orange.com/en/Press-and-medias/press-releases-2016/press-releases-2015/Orange-deploys-a-network-for-the-Internet-of-Things). This project uses the [Senet LoRa network](https://portal.senetco.com/) in North America since it was developed by the [Orange IoT Studio](http://orangeiotstudio.com/), part of [Orange Silicon Valley](http://orangesv.com/) in San Francisco.

### Skills you need

* Basic programming experience
* Familiarity with Arduino

### Nomeclature
Since this project is at the cutting-edge of LoRa, many of the terms are new, so we've defined them here:

* **`Network_ID`** is the term used in the Arduino sketch that is your specific account ID with Senet.  It's also referred to as `Application`, `Application ID`, `APPEUI` and `reverse_APPEUI`.  
* **`ID number`** is the term used in the Arduino sketch that is the ID number for your device on the Senet network.  For mDot's, it's the ID number written on the device; for Semtech NorAm motes, it's the ID number you get from the Orange IoT Studio or you generate in ARM mbed. It's also referred to as `Device ID`, `DEVEUI` and `reverse_DEVEUI`.
* **`Network_key`** is the term used in the Arduino sketch that is the encoded key for your device on the Senet network. It's also referred to as `Device App Key`, `App Key` and `DEVKEY`.
* **`mDot`** is the Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) RF module, capable of 2-way communication in excess of 10 miles or 16 km. It's also referred to as `Multitech mDot`, `MultiConnect mDot`, `MTdot` and `LoRa mDot`.
* **`mote`** is a LoRa network testing device that includes a GPS receiver. In this tutorial, you'll use it to test the coverage of the Senet network in your area. It's also referred to as `North America LoRa Mote device`, `NoRam mote` and `Semtech NorAm mote LoRa network tester`.   
* **`Gateway`** is the term used for the device that routes communications between the `mDot` and Senet's cloud. It's also referred to as `LoRa Gateway`.
* **`PDU`** stands for Packet Data Unit, which is the term Senet uses for the data payload sent from the mDot to the gateway. 
 
### _Disclaimer_
_LoRa is a new technology and this project is in alpha, so it could break. If you're comfortable trying new things that aren't 100% reliable, proceed and have fun._
