To that end, if you experience any difficulties - please contact me! Methods to get in touch are detailed on [my website](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/). + ## Libraries For some reason, the Arduino IDE is absolutely _ridiculous_ in that it keeps libraries globally installed. Some of the projects and examples here require that libraries are installed to work, unfortunately (I wasn't able to get them to function any other way :-/). To that end, I've listed below the libraries and where to get them from that I've used. -### LMIC -Required for the LoRaWAN projects. Installable through the _library manager_ if you search `LMIC`. ### RadioHead Used in some of the low-level LoRa test programs. This requires cloning the _RadioHead_ repository into the Arduino IDE libraries folder, which is by default located at `~/Arduino/libraries`. Here's the clone command in question: @@ -17,6 +20,17 @@ git clone https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/RadioHead.git Execute it in the Arduino libraries folder as mentioned above. + +### LMIC +Required for the LoRaWAN projects.

We'll need a TCP tutorial later on down the line though.
