Connect to Chirpstack

Overview

LoRaWAN is a low-power, wide-area networking protocol built on top of the LoRa technique. It wirelessly connects devices to the internet and manages communication between end-node devices and network gateways.

Followed the Get Started for Lora, we configured Wio-SX1262 with XIAO ESP32S3 as one channel hub lora gateway.

This wiki page explains how set up LoraWAN based on Wio-SX1262 with XIAO ESP32S3 kit as single channel gateway exchange data. And also connect the Sensecap S210x lora sensor node to Wio-SX1262 with XIAO ESP32S3 kit and transmit the sensor data to Chirpstack.
