CubeCell HTCC-AB01 Beginner

#1

Hello,

Is there someone who could help me to understand what I am doing wrong…
With below very simple sketch (with correct OTAA parameters), I apparently can connect to a gateway but the arduino terminal keep saying "“JOIN FAILED! Sleeping for 30 seconds”

Thank you

Its all ok for me Join is accepted!

Where is the problem?

#3

Thank you Ernst. maybe I did not explain correctly. On Console Join is accepted, but it looks like that the device never receive this confirmation. Could it be that the device cannot hear the feedback because of a too low RF signal power, or a not enough sensitve receiver?
Thank you

#4

update the appEui[] to a value other then 00 … you can generate this value in TTN and copy it to your code and it’ll work…
cheers,

Try a delay immediately after LoRaWAN.joinOTAA

Hello,
I would like to know about the function:

LoRaWAN.send(1, &counter, 1, requestack); // send 1 byte - datalen = 1

public: bool send(uint8_t datalen, uint8_t *data, uint8_t port, bool confirmed)

how can I send a payload of datalen 2 or more(bytes) if *data is limited to 8 bits?

Thank you
