Arduino error

I’m trying to build a node based on this tutorial:

https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/labs/story/creating-a-ttn-node

The hardware is assembled and the blink and BPM280 code works but I see this error when I try and upload the example ttn_bmp280.ino sketch:

exit status 1
variable or field ‘os_getArtEui’ declared void

I’m using the same Arduino version as the instructions and have all the libs installed.

Can anyone tell me what i’m doing wrong?

Thanks.

maybe you can put your whole code here ( formatted )

I suspect a missing ; or { somewhere

Thanks BoRRoZ

This is the code I am using:

So you have a BMP280 I2C connected to an arduino pro mini 3v3 8 Mhz
and a RFM95 to SPI, setup is for OTAA connect.

The sensor is working , you read the temp over serial, did you disconnect the USB and restarted the node ?

That’s the problem. I can’t load on the sketch because of the error.

I’ve tested the Mini Pro with the basic blink sketch, that works.
I’ve tested the BMP280 with the basic BMP280 example, that works.
I’ve downloaded the demo code from the tutorial and entered the Device, Network and App ID but it won’t upload to the arduino because of that error.

I have managed to use the ABP example to get it working but it would be good to understand what the problem is and get OTAA working.

next step will be to get it low power as possible I think So I want to point out that there are temp sensor modules with onboard regulators and without ( MINI Si7021 ) , if you power your node with a 3.2 battery you don’t need that consuming regulator, see also the size difference

x1533

these are more recent code examples

but there are many code snips for arduino mini/bme280 if you search a bit.

always make sure you have the right LMIC lib …

No. The asker is facing a compilation error, it has nothing at all to do with power optimization

wow… frusty

Afaik, you need to fill in the fields:
static const u1_t DEVEUI
static const u1_t APPEUI
static const u1_t APPKEY

You’re declaring them as empty byte arrays, the required bytes should be in the TTN application console, just copy and paste into the curly brackets.

The way it is setup now, it knows to send the data to TTN, but TTN can’t route the data to your application, because the identifiers are missing.
