Beginning LoRa Radio Networks with Arduino: Build Long Range, Low Power Wireless IoT Networks

by Pradeeka Seneviratne

Create your own LoRa wireless projects for non-industrial use and gain a strong basic understanding of the LoRa technology, LoRa WAN, and LPWAN.
You'll start by building your first LoRa wireless channel and then move on to various interesting projects such as setting up networks with a LoRa gateway, communicating with IoT servers using RESTful API and MQTT protocol, and real-time GPS tracking.
With LoRa wireless and LoRaWAN, you can build a wide array of applications in the area of smart agriculture, smart cities, smart environment, smart healthcare, smart homes and buildings, smart industrial control, smart metering, smart supply chain and logistics. Beginning LoRa Radio Networks with Arduino provides a practical introduction and uses affordable and easy to obtain hardware to build projects with the Arduino development environment.

An excellent if somewhat dated (as of mid 2021) treatise on how to get started on LoRaWAN and Arduino. Sadly the reference platforms have not quite kept up with the standards or new networks, but maybe this book will help awaken the interest in this platform and chipsets which offer really great options for both home and professional developers.

This is very nice step by step how-to guide on the practical steps to build a specific LoRa network device. Seneviratne gives us the code and the product IDs along with what modifications he used in order to get LoRa up and running. From this you can extract whatever part of the process interests you for your own purpose. This is a really introductory text.
