hello

i have a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB RAM

i have installed and added the Arduino IDE with all update

i followed this steps [https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sp … okup-guide](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sparkfun-lora-gateway-1-channel-hookup-guide)

the LoraGateway is conected over a the USB Poart on the Raspberry Pi with standard cable to the USB port of the LoRa Gateway

i am able to select the board on the Arduino IDE board manager!

the Ports (Serial port is greyes out and active would be the Port /dev/ttyAMAO

when i wish to upload the blink program got a error

because the port is not working/Close

what did i miss?

have a nice day

vinc

find out

with raspi-config i had to activate the seriel port 😉

then i have uploaded some file, blink or wifi scan and it did work

then i tryied to get a connection to the world!

[https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sp … an-gateway](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sparkfun-lora-gateway-1-channel-hookup-guide/single-channel-lorawan-gateway)

doing a compilation and upload got a stop at

#include \<TimeLib.h\>

no such file

any idea or other tutorial to set it up?

have a nice day

You’re probably going to need to install a driver on the pi for it to be able to see your arduino board. Looks like the lora gateway uses a CH340 chip, the guide below might help you with this.

hello

thanks for your feedback

when starting to read about it - i found out something else. a a new Rasperry Pi with raspi-config you have to enable the serial Ports

after this it did work.

then i followed this information

[https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sp … an-gateway](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sparkfun-lora-gateway-1-channel-hookup-guide/all#single-channel-lorawan-gateway)

and doing a upload i got the error but the file is there where the other in the unziped files are…

Arduino: 1.8.10 (Linux), Board: “SparkFun LoRa Gateway 1-Channel, Default, QIO, 80MHz, 4MB (32Mb), 921600”
