DIY LoRa System
In this project I will show you how to build a small LoRa transmitter and receiver with the help of STM32 development boards and RFM95 LoRa modules. This LoRa System can basically transmit an alarm signal from my garage to my apartment wirelessly through the air. The transmitter and receiver feature a distance of around 600m to one another. Let's get started!

The video gives you all the information you need to create your own LoRa system. During the next steps though, I will present you some additional information.

Build the Circuit!
Here you can find the schematic for the receiver and transmitter. Use them along with the reference pictures of my finished circuits in order to create your own.
Upload the Circuit!
Here you can find the codes that I created for the project. Upload them using the Arduino IDE. But make sure to include/download those libraries:
Success!
You did it! You just created your own DIY LoRa system!
