Atmega 328P RFM95 shows EV_RESET when trying to send data

Hi folks! :sunglasses:

I built my own node with arduino pro mini (atmega 328P), RFM95 and DS18D20. I don’t use deep sleep mode but TPL5551 (Nano-Power System Timer for Power Gating) by TI. I am using this code from my county member who gave me his code. (This code works for him).

   This example will send Temperature and Air Pressure
   using frequency and encryption settings matching those of
   the The Things Network. Application will 'sleep' 7x8 seconds (56 seconds)

   This uses ABP (Activation-by-personalisation), where a DevAddr and
   Session keys are preconfigured (unlike OTAA, where a DevEUI and
   application key is configured, while the DevAddr and session keys are
   assigned/generated in the over-the-air-activation procedure).


   Note: LoRaWAN per sub-band duty-cycle limitation is enforced (1% in
   g1, 0.1% in g2), but not the TTN fair usage policy (which is probably
   violated by this sketch when left running for longer)!

   To use this sketch, first register your application and device with
   the things network, to set or generate an AppEUI, DevEUI and AppKey.
   Multiple devices can use the same AppEUI, but each device has its own
   DevEUI and AppKey.

   Do not forget to define the radio type correctly in config.h.

Here is my schematical:

Schematic_LoRa-Wan-Atmega-328P-RFM95W-Node.v.1.1.pdf (53.7 KB)

I added my node in TTN aplications by ABP activation mode. When my node tried to send data I have “EV_RESET” and I can’t figure out what is the reason. :frowning:

I don’t change setups at config.h, because default was good for me.

That’s not a lot to go on, but if it resets exactly when it tries to transmit, I’m guessing it might be a power supply issue of it not being able to supply enough current without the voltage sagging. Did you build this circuit, or is a premanufactured board?

Hi,
1st, Can you edit your post and make the sketch preformatted text using the icon </>. It is easier to read that way.
2ndly, According to your wiring, you have dio0 – 8 and dio1 – 7. However in your sketch it is reversed.

Rather than jump into a script like this, I would suggest you go step by step. Use the sample ttn-ABP script and try sending a few bytes. If everything works, then modify the sketch to read your temperature sensor and send.

I built (projected) a pcb and solder all together! I added pictures. Here is Arduino pro mini with 168 atmega, 3v3 version but now I changed it to arduino pro mini 328p 3v3 version. Because 168 don’t have enough space for code. :smile: As power supply I am using 18650 3.7v battery. But I tried to send signal with usb power too, the same problem.

LMIC’s EV_RESET event is not a hardware reset, but documented as:

EV_RESET

Session reset due to rollover of sequence counters. Network will be rejoined automatically to acquire new session.

So, that might be due to the logic of LMIC.seqnoUp = EEPROMReadCounter(counterEEPROMaddress) and all.

// LoRaWAN end-device address (DevAddr)
static const u4_t DEVADDR = 26011E62 ; 

This defines a (huge) decimal number, in scientific notation with some exponent. It should be hexadecimal:

static const u4_t DEVADDR = 0x26011E62; 

When specifying in decimal format, it would read:

static const u4_t DEVADDR = 637607522;

Thank You a lot arjanvanb !

I uploaded simple code for EEPROM. Than I uploaded my node code again. Of course I added 0x before dev adress. Right know all works great.

Where I can have some more information “books” about these things? How You all know about this so much?
