CubeCell Capsule battery connection and Join issues

#1

I have a CubeCell capsule that I am attempting to setup.
I have a battery that I would like to connect but the capsule board I have does not match the images on the website. (images of my board attached). Hopefully someone can identify the correct points for attaching the battery.

I have used the WASN Configurator to load the correct region firmware onto it and configure it but despite being able to see the join-requests on the TTN console the unit continues to report join failed. (Log below)

You confirm whether the frequency points of the node and the gateway correspond.

#4

Awesome, I was wondering if that would be the case but didnt want to break things testing :slight_smile:

#5

Is there an AT+ command that I can send to display the frequency points used by the capsule? I am using the WASN Firmware for AU915 and would hope that this would include the correct frequency points for AU915. The Gateway is using the LORAWAN AU_915_928_FSB_2 frequency plan which is the recommended one

#6

You can use “AT+ChMask=?”

#7

In the information printed by the capsule, we can see the first eight channels used by the capsule.
“25.09.21 10:57:28: +ChMask=0000000000000000000000FF”

#8

Looks like that was the issue, I have updated the ChMask to 00000000000000000000FF00 as TTN channel plan mentions that they use the 2nd Sub-Band only and now it has joined and I can send test messages.
Much thanks for you assistance

Got the capsule sending manually to find that the BME680 sensor I have for it is dead in some way, have jury rigged a BMP280 sensor to it and have it working happily so now I will have to order more Capsules and some spare sensors
