LMIC upload issue Arduino IDE

Hey guys,

i am using an ESP32 LoRa module from Heltec and tried to register my
device at TTN. Everytime i compile the otaa-demo sketch from the arduino
LMIC library the IDE is showing me errors and stops uploading the
sketch. The error says: “LMIC_getsessionkeys was not declared in this
scope…”
Have you heared about this issue before? Can you please give me further
information, on how to succesfully register my device at TTN so i am
able to upload sensor data?

Thank you for your support!

Best Regards,
Wunderbar

did you create a device in your console ?

  • did you see the specialised topics on this board ?
  • please show your (formatted) code

Yes, i created an app and a device with DevEUI and AppEUI!

What do you mean with “specialised topics”?

I have used the standard LMIC OTAA-demo sketch from the library, here it is:

#include <lmic.h>
#include <hal/hal.h>
#include <SPI.h>

//
// For normal use, we require that you edit the sketch to replace FILLMEIN
// with values assigned by the TTN console. However, for regression tests,
// we want to be able to compile these scripts. The regression tests define
// COMPILE_REGRESSION_TEST, and in that case we define FILLMEIN to a non-
// working but innocuous value.
//
#ifdef COMPILE_REGRESSION_TEST
#define FILLMEIN 0
#else
warning “You must replace the values marked FILLMEIN with real values from the TTN control panel!”
#define FILLMEIN (#dont edit this, edit the lines that use FILLMEIN)
#endif

// This EUI must be in little-endian format, so least-significant-byte
// first. When copying an EUI from ttnctl output, this means to reverse
// the bytes. For TTN issued EUIs the last bytes should be 0xD5, 0xB3,
// 0x70.
static const u1_t PROGMEM APPEUI[8]={ 0x95, 0xB0, 0x01, 0xD0, 0x7E, 0xD5, 0xB3, 0x70 };

// This should also be in little endian format, see above.
static const u1_t PROGMEM DEVEUI[8]={ 0x5F, 0x07, 0x82, 0x7F, 0x64, 0xB4, 0xE2, 0x00 };
void os_getDevEui (u1_t* buf) { memcpy_P(buf, DEVEUI, 8);}

// This key should be in big endian format (or, since it is not really a
// number but a block of memory, endianness does not really apply). In
// practice, a key taken from ttnctl can be copied as-is.
static const u1_t PROGMEM APPKEY[16] = { 0x63, 0x7B, 0x54, 0x4C, 0xAF, 0x6D, 0xC8, 0x97, 0x96, 0xE2, 0x56, 0xA2, 0xA2, 0x62, 0xD9, 0xB8 };

Yes, i can’t seem to find something there.

Is it possible that i need some AddOn for the use of the LMIC Library? It really confuses me that the example sketches that i’ve tried are giving back compiling errors by the Arduino IDE on the functions that are used.

realise that this part of the code

// Pin mapping
const lmic_pinmap lmic_pins = {
.nss = 18,
.rxtx = LMIC_UNUSED_PIN,
.rst = 14,
.dio = {26, 33, 32}
};

is for most boards different, also there are different LMIC versions.
for HELTEC is information available on this forum.

I already adjusted the pin mapping for my HELTEC board

The compiler is showing me errors on the functions that are used, even if i use different versions of LMIC
(i have tried LMIC-arduino, MCCI, LMICPP so far)

I thought that there where different HW versions … maybe be more specific what board you exactly use ?

What do you mean with HW version?

I am using this board:

SOLVED

I tried unistalling the LMIC Library and reinstalling it. I also changed the Baudrate to 115200, now everything works fine!

Thanks for your support!

I tried using a Arduino Uno board with a LoRa shield (from Jacar) and it just would not work. After days of troubleshooting I realised that the Uno did not have enough storage space to fit the sketch. I swaped it for a Arduino Mega and it works fine now.
