The Sparrow family consists of one or more Sensors which communicate JSON-formatted Notes using a LoRa radio to a Gateway with which they have been manually paired. A Sparrow Gateway will forward messages received from its paired Sensors to the cloud via Notecard. Conversely, it will also forward messages received from the cloud via Notecard to an associated Sensor.

NOTE: If you have a Qwiic connector breakout, you can connect to the Qwiic connector of the Sparrow, and the same pins on the Notecarrier as above.

Connect to Notehub

If you are using a Wi-Fi Notecard, be sure to connect to your local network.

Code Block
{"req":"card.wifi","ssid":"<ssid name>","password":"<password>"}

There are two ways to connect your project to Notehub (choose one):

  1. Configure the Notecard to connect to your Notehub product directly over USB (as you normally would).

    Code Block
    {"req":"hub.set","product":"<your_product_id>"}
  2. Update the NOTECARD_PRODUCT_UID variable in sparrow-lora/Application/config_notecard.h to force your Sparrow Applications to connect to the desired Notehub product.

NOTE: If neither your Notecard nor the settings file are configured, then the Gateway will prompt you to configure the Notecard using a hub.set request.

WARNING: The dip switch on the Notecarrier-AL MUST be set to 3V3 when using a Wi-Fi Notecard.
