Arden’s Status Report for 10/22

This week I established a communication channel between two nodes. This was a multi-step process involving programming the nodes to use UART communication from the MCU to the LoRa transceiver. Unfortunately two of our transceivers were broken, and will have to be replaced before we can conduct a test of our 8 node and gateway topology. My progress is slightly behind schedule, however, now that nodes can send and receive data the development of the STP and LSA protocols can begin. I plan on getting a topology of 3 or four nodes either establishing a tree topology or gathering link-state and sending it to the gateway. I will be working with Ankita to develop the border gateway side of the routing algorithms.
