LoRa on a Pico! Introduction to The Things Network with the Makerverse LoRa-E5 Breakout

Video Description

*PART 2! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlo9Vcslsh0* This guide will instruct exactly how to build a LoRa Capable Raspberry Pi Pico with a Makerverse LoRa-E5 Breakout Module (10KM Range!). I will even demonstrate how to transmit Human Readable Weather Data accessible from any internet connected device for FREE using The Things Network.

Offering a huge range (thanks to it encoding data inside a Chirp Radio Signal), it has finally reached the point of simplicity for the end-user to set up their IoT Project easily. This video will teach you exactly how to liberate your edge-collected data and beam it right into the internet at will. This is a detailed step-by-step making it easy for everyone to set up their own LoRa system connected for FREE to The Things Network. To be clear, this will demonstrate how to connect a Lora E5 Module to a Raspberry Pi Pico. Then we will set up Thonny IDE. Then create an Account with The Things Network. We will then Register our Device with The Things Network and send a simple Hello World Message to it. The Things Network is a Free IoT platform with gateways all over the globe. The Where To Now will be a Weather and Air Quality IoT Station set up in a 3D printed Case that sends Human Readable Weather Data to The Things Network that Runs on Boot. All wrapped up in a package that can fit into the palm of your hand and is fully ready to be Battery Powered or Wall powered. So go ahead and install this system into your summer retreat, your boat, your secret campsite, inside your car, or anywhere you want to have accurate weather data! The world is your oyster and your LoRa system is the pearl.
