## Pygate
__To connect your Pygate to a LoRa server, follow these steps:__
1- Attach a Pycom development board e.g. a Wipy, LoPy4, GPy, to the Pygate. (The RGB LED of the development board should be aligned with the USB port of PyGate)
2- Attach the LoRa Antenna to the Pygate
3- Flash the Pycom Device with latest PyGate Firmware.
4- Upload the Gateway configuration json file on the attached pycom device (via Pymakr or VsCode) , Depending on the type of Pygate (EU868/US915) you should have different config files.
__In the following example we will demonstrate a simple script for getting started with Pygate using Wifi connection for EU868 region:__
you can use that same file you just need to put your GW unique ID , LoRa server adresse and port numbers
```python
from network import WLAN
import time
import machine
from machine import RTC
import pycom
#Disable Hearbeat
pycom.heartbeat(False)
#Define callback function for Pygate Events
def machine_cb (arg):
evt = machine.events()
if (evt & machine.PYGATE_START_EVT):
# Green
pycom.rgbled(0x103300)
elif (evt & machine.PYGATE_ERROR_EVT):
# Red
pycom.rgbled(0x331000)
elif (evt & machine.PYGATE_STOP_EVT):
# RGB off
pycom.rgbled(0x000000)
# register Callback func
machine.callback(trigger = (machine.PYGATE_START_EVT |
machine.PYGATE_STOP_EVT | machine.PYGATE_ERROR_EVT), handler=machine_cb)
# Connect to a Wifi Network
wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)
wlan.connect(ssid='<SSID>', auth=(WLAN.WPA2, "<PASSWORD>"))
while not wlan.isconnected():
time.sleep(1)
print("Wifi Connection established")
#Sync time via NTP server for GW timestamps on Events
rtc = RTC()
rtc.ntp_sync(server="0.nl.pool.ntp.org")
#Read the GW config file from Filesystem
fp = open('/flash/config.json','r')
buf = fp.read()
# Start Pygate
machine.pygate_init(buf)
```

To stop the Pygate at any time use:
- REPL -> use CTRL-C
- using deinit function `machine.pygate_deinit()`
that will stop GW tasks and safely power off the Concentrator.
__Note__: The Pygate packet forwarder is a legacy packet forwarder, you must make sure you use check legacy packet forwarder option in TTN as shown below.

## Pygate APIs
###machine Module
#### machine.pygate\_init([buff])
This function is used to initialize Pygate
- `buff`: data contents of gateway global config json file
when no parameter is passed to function the Pygate is just powered on. (will be useful when using pygate as just a concentrator controllable via uart by another device eg. RPi)
#### machine.pygate\_deinit()
Shuts down concentrator.
#### machine.pygate\_cmd\_decode(buff)
send lora gateway command to concentrator, this is useful when packet forwarder / HAL software is run on a different device (eg. Rpi) and commands to concentrator are passed to Pygate via uart
#### machine.pygate\_cmd\_get()
Get command execution result from concentrator.
Example script when running Packet forwarder sw on a different device:
```python
from machine import UART
import machine
import time
import os
import gc
machine.pygate_init(None)
time.sleep(3)
uart = UART(1, 115200, timeout_chars=40, pins=('P23', 'P22'))
while True:
if uart.any():
rx_data = uart.read()
machine.pygate_cmd_decode(rx_data)
tx_data = machine.pygate_cmd_get()
l = uart.write(tx_data)
else:
time.sleep_us(10)
```
#### machine.callback(trigger, handler=None, arg=None)
- `trigger`: A trigger event(s) for invoking the callback function `handler`, the triggers/events are:
`machine.PYGATE_START_EVT`
`machine.PYGATE_STOP_EVT`
`machine.MP_QSTR_PYGATE_ERROR_EVT`
- `handler`: The callback function to be called, when not passed to function the any pre-registered callback will be disabled/removed
- `arg`: Optional arg to be bassed to callback function.
#### machine.events()
Get the pygate events
## Pygate Ethernet adapter APIs
`network.ETH` module
### ETH.init(hosname=None)
This function starts Ethernet interface and enables the ethernet adapter.
`hostname`: set the interface hostname.
### ETH. ifconfig(config=\['dhcp' or configtuple\])
With no parameters given returns a 4-tuple of (ip, subnet_mask, gateway, DNS_server).
If dhcp is passed as a parameter then the DHCP client is enabled and the IP params are negotiated with the dhcp server.
If the 4-tuple config is given then a static IP is configured. For instance:
`eth.ifconfig(config=('192.168.0.4', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8'))`
### ETH.hostname(string)
Set interface host name.
### ETH.mac()
Get the ethernet interface mac address.
### ETH.deinit()
shuts down ethernet interface.
### ETH.isconnected(Bool)
Returns `True` if the ethernet if link is up and IP is accquired, `Fasle` otherwise
### ETH.register(reg, cmd, value)
Write/Read specific register from/to the ksz8851 ethernet controller
`cmd`: 0 to read , 1 to write
Ex: to read register 0x90
`eth.register(0x90,0)`
to write:
`eth.register(0x90, 1, 0x0000)`
