Hi, I bought two Cubecell boards and wanted to use them with TTS (TTN v3). I’ve got a multi-channel RAK Gateway which works perfectly with my Dragino node I bought.
I also have a Heltec ESP32 Lora Board which also works flawlessly with my gateway.
I am in EU868 and am using v1.3.0 of the Cubecell Board config for Arduino.
In TTN I am using v1.0.2 rev B like indicated in other posts.
For my code I am using the bmp280 example file from here https://github.com/HelTecAutomation/CubeCell-Arduino/blob/master/libraries/Sensor_ThirdParty/examples/BMP280/bmp280/bmp280.ino with my added devEUI, appKey…
Using OTAA results in multiple join requests which are accepted like e.g. also described here If there is some data received afterwards its pure luck (sending ever minute for 8h results in like 2 messages received). Using ABP it’s the same problem.
Using the SendReceive Example which only tries to join results in the same behavior.
I tried putting the node right beside the gateway and also some walls away and nothing changes.
I tried also converting to plain basicmac which did not work and for lmic I did not find the right pin mapping.
As far as I see my gateway is configured right, the global_conf matches the one I can download from TTN directly and other devices are successful using it.
I also found some other threads concerning EU868 but all without solutions.
What could be the issue which I did not yet find, anybody else from Europe here with a solution to those problems?
