Hardware: ArduinoLoRa Rev 1.0 board, 18650 battery, LoRa antenna, USB‑C cable, sensor(s).

• Software: Arduino IDE or Arduino CLI, STM32 board support (if required), ArduLora library (or your library).
• Services: LoRaWAN gateway credentials if using OTAA/ABP (AppEUI, DevEUI, AppKey).

• Insert battery: Place the 18650 cell in the holder with correct polarity and ensure firm contact.
• Attach antenna: Screw the LoRa antenna onto the SMA connector; keep it clear of metal.
• Connect sensors: Use screw terminals or headers to wire I2C, UART, or GPIO sensors.
• Power check: Connect USB and open Serial Monitor at 115200 to confirm the board boots and prints initialization logs.

• I2C: SDA → SDA pin; SCL → SCL pin; 3.3V → VCC; GND → GND.
• UART: Sensor TX → board RX; sensor RX → board TX; common GND.
• Power: 18650 supplies Vbat; USB should auto‑switch when connected.
• Antenna: Keep antenna upright and away from metal enclosures.

Install Arduino IDE or Arduino CLI.

1. Install STM32 board support via Board Manager if required.
2. Install ArduLora library via Library Manager or copy into libraries/.
3. Open example sketch: File → Examples → ArduLora → field_example (or equivalent).
4. Configure sketch: set frequency, power, radio profile, and LoRaWAN credentials if applicable.

Using Arduino IDE

• Select board: Tools → Board → ArduinoLoRa Rev 1.0 (or STM32 variant).
• Select port: Tools → Port → COMx.
• Click Upload.
