/* This demonstrates how to save the join information in to permanent memory so that if the power fails, batteries run out or are changed, the rejoin is more efficient & happens sooner due to the way that LoRaWAN secures the join process - see the wiki for more details. This is typically useful for devices that need more power than a battery driven sensor - something like a air quality monitor or GPS based device that is likely to use up it's power source resulting in loss of the session. The relevant code is flagged with a ##### comment Saving the entire session is possible but not demonstrated here - it has implications for flash wearing and complications with which parts of the session may have changed after an uplink. So it is assumed that the device is going in to deep-sleep, as below, between normal uplinks. */ #if !defined(ESP32) #pragma error ("This is not the example your device is looking for - ESP32 only") #endif // ##### Load the ESP32 preferences facilites #include Preferences store; // LoRaWAN config, credentials & pinmap #include "config.h" #include // Utilities & vars to support ESP32 deep-sleep.
