  • 1) Move your hardware to different locations. Since you have everything connected and communicating, now is a great time to reposition your Essentials Board and Reference Nodes to get readings from different locations. (And if you haven’t already, feel free to re-attach the backs of your Reference Node enclosures.)

    • NOTE: There are no hard-and-fast rules that dictate how far apart you can place LoRa devices because the optimal distance depends on whether your devices have a clear line-of-sight, or the signal needs to penetrate walls, concrete, and the like. In a home or building, devices will need to be placed closer together, ideally less than a hundred meters apart. Out in the open, devices can reach one another across 1 KM or more. As with anything, we strongly suggest you test your application under real-world circumstances prior to deployment.

  • 2) Read more about what you can do with Sparrow. This quickstart helped you get your Sparrow Development Kit up and running, but there’s a lot more you can do with Sparrow. As a next step, we recommend checking out our Sparrow Setup and Run Guide, which provides a more detailed look at everything you can do with your Sparrow hardware.
