SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyserial, numpy, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

LoRa CAD scanner monitors a configurable frequency band to detect LoRa preambles, decode packets, display live state, and alert operators via Telegram.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Live CAD scanning across configurable frequency ranges.
  • Packet decoding for LoRaWAN, Cayenne LPP, TTN Mapper, and more.
  • OLED live display of current freq/BW/SF/RSSI and hits.
  • Telegram alerting via OpenClaw cron pipeline for detections.

Quick Start

Flash the Arduino CAD scan sketch to the LilyGo, start the Pi monitor, and configure the Telegram alert cron.

Frequently Asked Questions about lora-cad-scanner

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect LoRa CAD activity and decode packets in real-time?▼

Detect LoRa CAD activity and decode packets by flashing an Arduino CAD scan sketch to LilyGo hardware and starting a Raspberry Pi monitor to process real-time LoRa preambles across configurable frequency bands.

What hardware is required for LoRa CAD scanning and Telegram alerting?▼

LoRa CAD scanning requires LilyGo T3, ESP32, SX1276, and Raspberry Pi hardware for front-end CAD configuration and signal reception, plus an OpenClaw Telegram pipeline for delivering real-time detection alerts.

How do I configure Telegram alerts for detected LoRa packets?▼

Configure Telegram alerts for detected LoRa packets by setting up the OpenClaw cron pipeline on your Raspberry Pi, which automatically pushes real-time notifications when the CAD scanner detects LoRa preambles.

Can I decode LoRaWAN and Cayenne LPP packets using a Raspberry Pi scanner?▼

You can decode LoRaWAN, Cayenne LPP, and TTN Mapper packets using a Raspberry Pi scanner connected to LilyGo hardware, which processes LoRa preambles and displays live freq, BW, SF, and RSSI states.

Does the LoRa CAD scanner work with HackRF for RF reconnaissance?▼

The LoRa CAD scanner works with an optional HackRF companion for RF reconnaissance and field surveys, extending monitoring capabilities beyond the standard LilyGo, ESP32, and SX1276 hardware configuration.

What are the limitations of using ESP32 and SX1276 for continuous LoRa monitoring?▼

Continuous LoRa monitoring with ESP32 and SX1276 requires front-end CAD configuration and stable hardware integration, meaning ongoing surveillance depends on consistent Raspberry Pi connectivity and OpenClaw cron pipeline execution.
