# AdaFruit.IO Windows 10 IoTCore LoRa FieldGateway
AdaFruit.IO Windows 10 IotCore Field Gateway for LoRa capable devices

A Windows 10 IoT Core application based on my [@RFM9X Library](https://github.com/KiwiBryn/RFM9XLoRa-NetMF) for uploading telemetry data from RFM9X/SX127X equipped devices to an [@AdaFruit.IO](https://io.adafruit.com/)

The field gateway currently supports these shields

An empty configuration file is created the first time the application is run. A minimal configuration file has the device address, the Azure Device Client transport protocol, and the centre frequency.

```Json
{
"AdaFruitIOUserName": "——",
"AdaFruitIOApiKey": "——",
"AdaFruitIOGroupName": "——",
"Address": "——",
"Frequency": 915000000.0,
}
```

The application has been tested with 433MHz and 915MHz devices and stress tested will a number of clients
![Stress tester](LoRaStress.jpg)

The "SensorIDIsDeviceIDSensorID" flag concatenates the deviceID and SensorID together so the device can work with Azure IoT Central.

The packet format is detailed in these blog posts [@IoTCore](https://blog.devmobile.co.nz/2018/09/03/rfm9x-iotcore-payload-addressing/) and [@NetMF](https://blog.devmobile.co.nz/2018/09/04/rfm9x-netmf-payload-addressing/). It was intentionally kept simple to make it easier for students to use and debug.

Future proposed enhancements include
  * Cloud to device messaging (MSMQ Field gateway)
  * OTA device provisioning
  * OTA Data encryption
  * Support for other Windows 10 IoT Core devices e.g. Dragon Board 410C
  * Support for other SX127X/RFM9X shields/plates/mezzanine boards
