Hi,

I just load the Tracker scketch to my one and I could no connect via Lora. In TTN appears

I’m doing something wrong?

This is the serial output:

It looks like you are not in range of an TTN gateway.

You can check the TTN gateway locations here:
http://ttnmapper.org/

You can extend the range of the node by changing the SpreadingFactor to 12 (sf=12)

Hi Jan,

I just have my ttn gateway just beside me. I checked in the gateway status page and it’s Up, but not in the ttn mapper, you know why?

Thank’s Jan

Hi Eduard,

If your gateway isn’t displayed on the ttnmapper, the gateway probably doesn’t send out his location.
You know your gateway id and it’s up.

Can you try to connect with ABP?
Maybe OTAA isn’t working properly at the moment with TTN?

Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

The parameters for LoRa are not valid. LoRa cannot be enabled.
** Boot-up completed successfully!
The USB is going to be disabled now.

2º I bought 3 ones and one of them the usb has been un-soldered, how is it possible to fix?

Many thank’s

Hi Eduard,

  1. With ABP you have to use the DevAddr, AppSKey and NWSKey.
    You are now using DevEUI instead of the DevAddr.
    If you still don’t see any messages you could increase sf=7 to sf=12 to extent the lorawan range.

  2. If the solder contacts are still intact it is possible.

Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Now the One is sending data through ABP configuration, many many thank’s

Relating the unsoldered usb port is completely out the board…I connected and suddenly the port was out of the board…very very strange.

Best

Eduard
