Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic LoRaWAN Transmission with GPS Data (Arduino)
This example demonstrates how to send GPS data using the SenseCAP T1000-B and an Arduino board.
```c
#include <LoRaWAN.h>
#include <TinyGPS++.h>
// Define the SenseCAP T1000-B pins
const int lora_reset_pin = 2;
const int lora_ss_pin = 5;
const int gps_rx_pin = 3;
const int gps_tx_pin = 4;
// Create a LoRaWAN object
LoRaWAN lora(lora_reset_pin, lora_ss_pin);
// Create a TinyGPS++ object
TinyGPSPlus gps;
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
// Initialize the SenseCAP T1000-B
  lora.begin();
  gps.begin(gps_rx_pin, gps_tx_pin);
}
void loop() {
  // Get the current GPS data
  gps.encode();
  float lat = gps.location.lat();
  float lon = gps.location.lng();
  float alt = gps.altitude.meters();
// Create a LoRaWAN packet
  byte packet[16];
  packet[0] = 0x01; // header
  packet[1] = lat >> 16;
  packet[2] = lat >> 8;
  packet[3] = lat;
  packet[4] = lon >> 16;
  packet[5] = lon >> 8;
  packet[6] = lon;
  packet[7] = alt >> 16;
  packet[8] = alt >> 8;
  packet[9] = alt;
// Send the LoRaWAN packet
  lora.sendPacket(packet, 10);
delay(10000); // send every 10 seconds
}
```
### Example 2: Temperature and Motion Detection with JavaScript (Node.js)
This example demonstrates how to read temperature and motion data from the SenseCAP T100-B using a Node.js application.
```javascript
const serialPort = require('serialport');
const SenseCAP = require('./SenseCAP');
// Open the serial port
const port = new serialPort('COM3', {
  baudRate: 9600
});
// Create a SenseCAP object
const sensecap = new SenseCAP(port);
// Read temperature and motion data
setInterval(() => {
  sensecap.getTemperature((temperature) => {
    console.log(`Temperature: ${temperature} C`);
  });
sensecap.getMotion((motion) => {
    console.log(`Motion: ${motion ? 'Detected' : 'Not detected'}`);
  });
}, 1000); // read every 1 second
// SenseCAP class
class SenseCAP {
  constructor(port) {
    this.port = port;
  }
getTemperature(callback) {
    this.port.write('AT+TEMP?
', (err) => {
      if (err) {
        console.error(err);
      } else {
        this.port.readline((line) => {
          const temp = parseFloat(line);
          callback(temp);
        });
      }
    });
  }
getMotion(callback) {
    this.port.write('AT+MOTION?
', (err) => {
      if (err) {
        console.error(err);
      } else {
        this.port.readline((line) => {
          const motion = line.trim() === '1';
          callback(motion);
        });
      }
    });
  }
}
