Release Notes

New features in version 5.3.3 (August 25, 2018)

  • Bug Fixing SPIFFS Format in GUI
  • Included a confirm dialog in RESET, BOOT and STATISTICS buttons for user to confirm
  • Repaired WlanConnect issues
  • Improved Downlink function. Work for SF8-SF10. Does not work reliable for SF7, SF11, SF12
  • Provided documentation button o top of page
  • Added expert mode button in GUI (Wifi, System and Interrupt data is only shown in expert mode)
  • bug fixes and documentation

New features in version 5.3.2 (July 07, 2018)

  • Support for local decoding of sensor messages received by the gateway. Use #define _LOCALSERVER 1, to enable this functionality. Also specify for each node that you want to inspect the messages from the NwkSKey and AppSKey in the sensor.h file. NOTE: the heap of the ESP32 is much larger than of the ESP8266. SO please be careful not to add too many features to the "old" gateway modules
  • As a result reworked the sensor functions and changes such as adding/changing DevAddrm NwkSKEY and AppSKey parameters to several functions
  • Several in-line documentaton enhancements and typos were fixed

New features in version 5.3.1 (June 30, 2018)

  • Included support for T-Beam board including on board GPS sensor (_sensor.ino). #define GATEWAYNODE 1 will turn the gateway into a node as well. Remember to set the address etc in ESP-sc-gway.h.
  • First version to explore possibilities of 433 MHz LoRa frequencies. Included _LFREQ setting in the ESP-sc-gway.h file
  • Changes to the WiFi inplementation. The gateway does now store the SSID and poassword.

New features in version 5.3.0 (June 20, 2018)

  • Connect to both public and private routers

New features in version 5.2.1 (June 6, 2018)

  • Repair the downlink functions
  • Repair sersor functions
  • Bufgixes

New features in version 5.2.0 (May 30, 2018)

  • Enable support for ESP32 from TTGO, several code changes where ESP32 differs from ESP8266. OLED is supported but NOT tested. Some hardware specific reporting functions of the WebGUI do not work yet.
  • Include new ESP32WebServer library for support of ESP32
  • Made pin configuration definitions in Gateway.h file, and support in loraModem.h and .ino files.

New features in version 5.1.1 (May 17, 2018)

  • The LOG button in the GUI now opens a txt .CSV file in the browser with loggin details.

New features in version 5.0.8 (Mar 26, 2018)

  • Simplified State machine and removed unnecessary code
  • Changed the WiFI Disconnect code (bug in SDK). When WiFi.begin() is executed, the previous accesspoint is not deleted. But the ESP8266 does also not connect to it anymore. The workaround restarts the WiFI completely.

  • Introduced the _utils.ino with Serial line utilities
  • Documentation Changes
  • Small bug fixes
  • Removal of unused global variables

New features in version 5.0.7 (Feb 12, 2018)

  • WlanConnect function updated

New features in version 5.0.7 (Feb 24, 2018)

  • Changed WlaConnect function to not hang and give more debug info
  • Made the change to display correct MAC address info

New features in version 5.0.6 (Feb 11, 2018)

  • All timer functions that show lists on website etc are now based on now() en NTP, the realtime functions needed for LoRa messages are still based on micros() or millis()
  • Change some USB debug messages
  • Added to the documentation of the README.md

New Features in version 5.0.5 (Feb 2, 2018)

  • Change timer functions to now() and secons instead of millis() as the latter one overflows once every 50 days.

  • Simplified and enhanced the State Machine function

New features in version 5.0.4 (January 1, 2018)

  • Cleanup of the State machine
  • Separate file for oLED work, support for 1.3" SH3006 chips based oLED.
  • Still not supported: Multi Frequency works, but with loss of #packages, and some packages are recognizeg at the wrong frequency (but since they are so close that could happen).
  • In-line documenattion cleaned up

New features in version 5.0.1 (November 18, 2017)

  • Changed the state machine to run in user space only
  • No Watchdog Resets anymore
  • For each SF, percentage of such packages received of total packages
  • OTAA and downlink work (again) although not always
  • Nober of packages per hour displayed in webserver
  • All Serial communication only when DUSB==1 is defined at compile time

New features in version 4.0.4 (June 24, 2017):

  • Review of the _wwwServer.ino file. Repaired some of the bugs causing crashes of the webserver.
  • Updated the README.md file with more cofniguration information

New features in version 4.0.3 (June 22, 2017):

  • Added CMAC functions so that the sensor functions work as expected over TTN
  • Webserver prints a page in chunks now, so that memory usage is lower and more heap is left over for variables

  • Reset the Framecounter in te webinterface

New features in version 3.2.2 (December 29, 2016)):

  • Repair the situation where WIFIMANAGER was set to 0 in the ESP-sc-gway.h file. The sketch would not compile which is now repaired
  • The compiler would issue a set of warnings related to the ssid and passw setting in the ESP-sc-gway.h file. Compiler was complaining (and it should) because char* were statically initialised and modified in the code.

New features in version 3.2.1 (December 20, 2016)):

  • Repair the status messages to the server. All seconds, minutes, hours etc. are now reported in 2 digits. The year is reported in 4 digits.

New features in version 3.2.0 (December 08, 2016)):

  • Several bugfixes

New features in version 3.1 (September 29, 2016)):

  • In the ESP-sc-gway.h it is possible to set the gateway as sensor node as well. Just set the DevAddr and AppSKey in the _sensor.ino file and be able to forward any sensor or other values to the server as if they were coming from a LoRa node.
  • If the #define _STRICT_1CH is set (to 1) then the system will be able to send downlink messages to LoRa nodes that are strict 1-channel devices (all frequencies but frequency 0 are disabled and Spreading Factor (SF) is fixed to one value).
  • Code clean-up. The code has been made smaller in the area of loraWait() functions and where the radio is initiated for receiving of transmitting messages.
  • Several small bug fixes
  • Licensing, the license has been changed to MIT

New features in version 3.0 (September 27, 2016):
