This repository contains my Masters-level summer project. The title is _LoRaWAN Signal Mapping_. The software contained here provides a complete system for mapping and visualising the signal coverage of [The Things Network](https://thethingsnetwork.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Structure
|
||||
The system is split up into 2 primary parts:
|
||||
|
||||
1. An Arduino program that collects the data.
|
||||
2. A Node.js program that stores and analyses the data
|
||||
|
||||
It's best explained with the aid of a diagram or two:
|
||||
|
||||
![](images/Manual Diagrams-Workflow.png)
|
||||
|
||||
The above flowchart describes the workflow when using the system:
|
||||
|
||||
1. First, the IoT device is turned on and the TTN Listener is launched.
|
||||
2. Then, the IoT device is taken around the target area that needs mapping. This can be done by anyone - the device does not require operation beyond turning it on and off once provisioned.
|
||||
3. Once the device has been carried around the target area, the `DATA.TSV` file on the IoT device's microSD card is copied off and placed on the server.
|
||||
4. The server data processor is then run to fold the data into the database.
|
||||
5. The AI trainer is now run on the collected data
|
||||
6. The data is displayed in a web browser, with the help of a web server
|
||||
|
||||
The flow of data during use can be shown using a diagram:

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## System requirements
|
||||
This software has a number of requirements in order to function properly:
|
||||
|
||||
- A Linux-based server (_Ubuntu Server LTS_ is recommended), with the following installed:
|
||||
+ Node.js v10+ with npm 6+ - see [this website](https://github.com/nodesource/distributions) for instructions on how to install a recent version of Node.js (for the various application server stuff)
|
||||
+ Git (for cloning the code repository)
|
||||
+ `awk` (for text processing by the build script)
|
||||
+ Bash v4+ (for the build script)
|
||||
+ PHP (for the temporary test web server; not otherwise used any static web server will do)
|
||||
- Arduino IDE (for programming the IoT device)
|
||||
- Git (for cloning the code repository)
|
||||
-
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
Run `bash ./build setup` from the command line at the root of this repository.
|
||||
|
||||
### IoT Device
|
||||
- Copy `settings.custom.cpp.example` to `settings.custom.cpp` and fill in the fields there
|
||||
- This Bash one-liner can be used to generate a new encryption key in the right formats: `head -c16 /dev/urandom | od -tx1 | awk '{ gsub(/^0+\s+/, "", $0); toml=$0; gsub(/\s+/, "", toml); print("settings.toml format: " toml); arduino=toupper($0); gsub(/\s+/, ", 0x", arduino); print("settings.custom.cpp format: 0x" arduino); exit }'`
|
||||
- Review `settings.h` to make sure it matches your setup
|
||||
- Copy the folders in `iot/libraries` to your Arduino IDE libraries folder
|
||||
### Step 0: Initial setup
|
||||
Before doing anything, clone this git repository to both the server (for the TTN listener etc.) and your local machine (for programming the IoT device):
|
||||
|
||||
### Server
|
||||
- The `bash ./build setup` should have already installed the necessary dependencies.
|
||||
- Create `settings.toml` in the root of the repository if it doesn't exist already.
|
||||
- Review `server/settings.default.toml` and adjust `settings.toml` to fill in the values for the required fields, not forgetting the encryption key generated when setting up the IoT device.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://git.starbeamrainbowlabs.com/sbrl/Msc-Summer-Project.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Client-side web interface
|
||||
_If you have somehow obtained a static copy of the code (e.g. through the University's marking system), then skip the above and use that instead._
|
||||
|
||||
Next, `cd` to the root of the repository and then run the setup task of the build script:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./build setup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows, this should be run in _Git Bash_ (accessible from the start menu when _Git_ is installed - don't forget to `cd` to the root of the repository).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Build a device
|
||||
First, a device must be built and provisioned. See `HARDWARE.md` in this repository for detailed instructions on how to do this.
|
||||
|
||||
Once built, copy `iot/main/settings.custom.cpp.example` to `iot/main/settings.custom.cpp` and follow the instructions fill in the fields there. To do this, you'll need to register the device using ABP (Activation By Personalisation) on _The Things Network_. [This guide](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/devices/registration.html) tells you how to do this.
|
||||
|
||||
It is suggested that the following Bash one-liner be used to generate a new encryption key in the right formats:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
head -c16 /dev/urandom | od -tx1 | awk '{ gsub(/^0+\s+/, "", $0); toml=$0; gsub(/\s+/, "", toml); print("settings.toml format: " toml); arduino=toupper($0); gsub(/\s+/, ", 0x", arduino); print("settings.custom.cpp format: 0x" arduino); exit }'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_(Paste it into a terminal and hit enter)_
|
||||
|
||||
Then, review `iot/main/settings.h` to make sure it matches your setup (e.g. all the pin numbers are correct)
|
||||
|
||||
Next, copy the folders in `iot/libraries` to your Arduino IDE libraries folder.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, open `iot/main/main.ino` in the Arduino IDE and program the IoT device itself.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: The Things Network Setup
|
||||
_This step should be completed on the server._
|
||||
|
||||
Once a device has been constructed, running the _The Things Network_ listener is next. This requires giving the system the _The Things Network_ credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
Edit the file called `settings.toml` in the root of this repository (or create it if it doesn't exist), and make sure it contains the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[ttn]
|
||||
app_id = "{APPLICATION_ID}"
|
||||
access_key = "{TTN_ACCESS_ID}"
|
||||
|
||||
encryption_key = "{ENCRYPTION_KEY_FROM_STEP_1}"
|
||||
|
||||
port = 8883
|
||||
tls = true
|
||||
|
||||
devices = [ "{DEVICE_NAME_FROM_TTN}" ]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `app_id` and `access_key` can be obtained from _The Things Network Console_:
|
||||
|
||||
![](images/TTN-Main.png)
|
||||
|
||||
The device name can be obtained from step #1, when you registered the device with _The Things Network_. Alternatively, if the device is already registered, it can be obtained from the device list if you click the "X registered devices" text.
|
||||
|
||||
With `settings.toml` filled in, you can now start TTN Listener:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./build ttn-listener
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
....it will display an error message if you forgot a value.
|
||||
|
||||
Now that the TTN listener is running, the IoT device can be carried around and data collected.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Processing the data
|
||||
_This step should be completed on the server._
|
||||
|
||||
Once data has been collected by the IoT device, it can then be processed by the Node.js server application.
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the `DATA.TSV` file from the IoT device's microSD card to the root of the repository on the server. It is suggested that `scp` (Linux) or [WinSCP](https://winscp.net/) be used to do this.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, fold `DATA.TSV` into the database like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./build process-data
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, train the AIs on the collected data like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./build train-ai
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The architecture of the neural networks trained can be customised by editing `settings.toml`. Check `server/settings.default.toml` for a guide on the different options available.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Viewing the AI output
|
||||
With the AIs trained, the browser-based web interface can be used to display the output as a map. Any static web server will do, but the build script has one built-in (if PHP is installed) for convenience:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./build server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If an alternative server is to be used, it should serve the `app/` directory that can be found in the root of this repository.
