Heltec Cubecell AB02 not Join to TTN EU

My CubeCell Capsule Solar not joining to TTN with code from github repo (LoRaWan_MPU9250).
The same settings with WASN CubeCell Configurator can join to TTN.
The gateway is in the same room.

Your 15 second send interval is in breach of the Fair Use Policy - please confirm that you have read with it and have adjusted your code accordingly - topic unlisted pending confirmation.

Yes! I read it. Is it the problem the device not join?

Have you adjusted your code accordingly??

Apart from LoRaWAN not being able to process that fast, forum policy is to ask why people are posting code that is not just in breach of the Fair Use Policy but most likely the law as well.

What is the make & model of your gateway?

What does your gateway show?

What does the application console show?

How far apart is the gateway & device?

Hello, the short time is for debugging. I have set it to 5 minutes. The code is only to solve the join problem. Then i throw it away. The device is on only for this time.

The gateway is from Laird RG186. Firmware Laird Linux gatwick-laird-93.9.6.57.
The gateway show:

The application console
image

They are 5 meters away from each other

When I use CubeCellConfigurator.exe it Join.

It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t work better or quicker by hammering at the door. Code it to work with a push button or set it like you have to 5 minutes and just press reset to test, observe the results, make adjustments and try again.

The RSSI and SNR seem rather low - how far away is the gateway from the device?

Whilst in theory all zeros for the JoinEUI is possible, we have discovered that some older software can’t cope well - you should generate one from the console or by other means.

The gateway entries ar from other devices. My dievice is in the same room. The device works with wasn configuration tool.

So use that then ??

I want to use my own code. What makes WASN different from the Heltech sample code?
Is it because of the EU setting?

image

I don’t know, I’ve never heard of or seen WASN before.

But I can tell you the custom LoRaWAN code base is 6 years old and a lot has changed in that time. If you search the forum you’ll find plenty of people struggling with it.

You mean the code from Heltec?
Is there a better template for CubeCell?

Yes

Don’t know - best ask Heltec

I have found the problem. I have adjusted the variables and not the global settings.
