MeshCore on LoRaScope — Spectrum & Traffic Analyser

How I let an AI debug my LoRa network

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I hit a massive run of packet corruption on a live LoRa network. Frames were arriving mangled, links were flaky, and the usual guesswork — swap the antenna, move the gateway, twiddle the spreading factor — was getting nowhere. So I stopped guessing and put an AI agent on the radio.

This is that session, start to finish. It’s also the reason LoRaScope is built the way it is: not as a screen you stare at, but as an instrument an agent can drive.

Pretend to be the hub: testing a LoRa node in isolation

A node was dropping off the mesh intermittently. The obvious move — pull it, bring it to the bench, test it against the hub — wasn’t available. The hub was live, serving the rest of the site, and pulling that would have taken half the network down with it. So I didn’t. I became the hub.

This is Emulate mode in LoRaScope, and it’s the fastest way I know to test a node without disturbing the network it lives in.
