Of course the reality is that, even in the middle of a parts shortage that\u2019s driving the cost of many components through the roof (if you can even find them), we can\u2019t just stop building new devices. In practice, that means you\u2019ll need to be a bit more flexible when embarking on a new design \u2014 it\u2019s like the Stones said:\u00a0<em>\u201cYou can\u2019t always get what you want \/ But if you try sometime you\u2019ll find \/ You get what you need\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For [Ryan Walmsley], that meant\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ryanteck.uk\/building-a-new-outdoor-lora-gateway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">basing his new outdoor LoRa gateway on the ubiquitous Raspberry Pi was a non-starter<\/a>. So what could he use in its place? The software situation for the Nano Pi Duo looked pretty poor, and while the Onion Omega 2+ was initially compelling, a bug in the hardware SPI seemed to take it out of the running. But after more research, he found there was a software implementation that would fit the bill.<\/p>\n<div>via Blog \u2013 Hackaday <a href=\"https:\/\/hackaday.com\/2022\/06\/28\/designing-a-lora-gateway-during-a-part-shortage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/hackaday.com\/2022\/06\/28\/designing-a-lora-gateway-during-a-part-shortage\/<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s fair to say that right now is probably the worst possible time you could&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1181,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"twitter_16139062_16139062":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[176,109,108],"tags":[2794,110,103,1060,111,27,325],"class_list":["post-9785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-computers","category-hackaday","category-makers","tag-gateway","tag-hackaday","tag-ifttt","tag-lora","tag-makerspace","tag-news","tag-raspberry-pi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/twiar.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/twiar.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/twiar.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twiar.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twiar.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9785"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/twiar.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9785\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9788,"href":"https:\/\/twiar.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9785\/revisions\/9788"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twiar.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/twiar.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twiar.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twiar.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
