LoRa Tag Commissioning - Digital Matter Oyster LoRaWAN[edit | edit source]
Kapton and RFID Tag Placement[edit | edit source]
- Open the box of a new tag.
- Remove the tag from the plastic bag, leaving the yellow safety paper inside.
- Remove the board out of the housing.
- Place a square of Kapton Tape on Board. The tape should cover this section of the board as shown below:
- Place RFID Tag onto board.
- Make sure it doesn't cover any holes on the PCB.
- Make sure it doesn't go past the edge of the PCB, but should be as close to flush as possible
Board Programming[edit | edit source]
- Flip the board over so the battery holder is visible.
- Connect the programming connector USB cable to the programming header.
- Connect the power Alligator clip to the first terminal of the battery holder.
- Watch for the Red LED on the PCB to light up.
- The PC should automatically start programming the board. Sometimes the software will need to program the firmware of the board... this will be visible in a Programming Firmware bar (~15 - 20 seconds)
- Once the board has finished programming the settings, the window will *flash* blue, and the PC will play a 'ding' sound over the speaker. At this point the programming has finished.
- It will also be visible in the 'DevEUI List' window, but watching for the flash/ding is enough.
- Once programming has completed, flip the board back over and place a purple dot in the center of the main chip. Do not press hard on the main chip.
- Place the board, housing, and all items back in the box, ready for the next step.
Board Commissioning / Prep for Shipment[edit | edit source]
- Scan the Dev EUI on the board
- Remove the board from the box. - Confirm the board has been programmed (purple dot)
- Confirm the board has an RFID tag
- Place the board in the housing. Make sure to align the 4 pins at the corners, and that the board goes all the way to the bottom of the housing.
- Place the back cover on the housing
- Place the tag on the tag tester for programming, make sure the tag is being read.
- Remove the bag with the yellow warning paper, and find the label with the Commissioning QR code on it.
- Scan the Digital Matters Commissioning QR Code inside the box.
- Watch for the Tag to be Encoded, and for 3 Labels to print out once the tag encoding is complete.
- Place the label on the top of the tag. *** Check that the Label is aligned!!! ***
- Place the tag in the bag, with the yellow paper behind it, such that the back longer part of the bag folds over the front of the tag.
- Seal up the bag, folding the back over the front, and place the tag in the box.
- Close up the box.
- Place a second label on the front of the box, aligning towards the left side as per below.
- Done! Tag is ready to ship.
