Combining raw LoRa and LoRaWAN in one device

#1

Has someone found a way to combine Raw LoRa (node to node) and LoRaWAN (node to gateway) in one heltec device? I’m using the Heltec LoRa 32 V3.

Your best bet is to look at RadioLib, which has support for both LoRa and LoRaWAN. The Heltec library doesn’t like you doing anything while using LoRaWAN, as you have encountered in one of the two other posts about this :slight_smile:

Please note that the LoRaWAN sync word and the default LoRa sync word are different.

#4

The LoRaWAN stack of RadioLib re-configures the sync word on each and every uplink, so you must also re-configure it for each and every P2P LoRa message or configure the other end of the P2P link to use the public sync word.

I just interfaced my main node with 2 Heltec devices. 1 for LoRa P2P (sensor node to main) and 1 for LoRaWAN(main to gateway).

Here is a brief explanation about node to node relationships.
