Pycom LoPy4 Nano Gateway for LoRaWAN

In this guide we'll see how to build a Nano Gateway to The Things Network (TTN) using a Pycom device with LoRa: a LoPy4 or a FiPy.

Warning: this is a "nano" gateway and not intended for long-term use on the TTN. It's a just-for-fun tutorial that we wanted to explore and share how things went, but there are gotchas. This gateway will only operate on 3-channels. Also, nodes (remote devices) require customisation to work with a nano-gateway properly. If you'd like to setup a "real" gateway that supports all 8-channels and works just the way it should for others that might want to connect to it, then consider getting a full-fledged gateway. Again, please don't leave a nano-gateway permanently on TTN, it can be confusing if someone else tries to connect to it, as most of the channels are not operational.
