Documented Code

Arduino UNO Code (sketch.ino)

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

This code provides the basic structure for initializing the Arduino UNO and contains placeholders for the setup and main loop functionality. The setup function is intended to configure the LoRa module and any other initial settings. The loop function will handle the ongoing operations, such as sending and receiving data via the LoRa module.

Additional Notes

The provided code is a template and does not include specific functionality for the LoRa module. Users will need to add the appropriate library and code to manage the LoRa communication, handle data packets, and implement any required protocols or data processing.
