AEP Node-red – send a Binary / Hex Payload

[Adam Watson]

I can tx / rx lora packets using node-red AEP version – using 4 different node types (microchip/IMST/mDOT/lorawan)

This works as expected in using strings.

But I want to be able to tx (from the conduit to a node) packets using binary / hex payloads and set the lorawan port number – is this possible using node-red?

I cannot see how the mDot api allows me to set the port number either for a uplink packet.

I am just adding this to get email notifications.

Adam,

From Node-RED you can queue packets for any end-device. The lora out node accepts raw strings or buffers which it’ll then encode as Base64 for transmission.

However, you can’t change the Fport (yet). That feature is in the coming release.

Hope this helps!

Debug nodes can output to the debug tab and/or the console. But where is the console? Can I tail a log file to see it?

Thanks,

Jim,

The Node-RED console log is in this folder: /var/log/app/
