LoStik - The Open Source LoRa Development Tool US915
We deliver globally via FedEx
This is the US915 version for the US/Canada
LoStik is a USB-connected LoRaWAN development tool. It allows users to test LoRa networks and rapidly prototype devices. Simply plug it in to a USB port and it appears as a serial port. This gives you a simple terminal interface to configure and connect to a LoRaWAN network, and send/receive data.
You can use this to test your network, simulate other devices to debug integrations, build quick prototypes of LoRa nodes using a Raspberry Pi, or LoRaWAN enable an existing computer/device.
The LoStik is easily controlled by Python scripts using the serial port, there examples in the Github repository that give a great start to writing custom code for your application.
Note: This is a development tool, it doesn't come with a friendly GUI application, it's designed for low-level experimentation and testing of LoRaWAN.
