When I come to save the two files for review both try to save as local_ ā¦have you accidentaly posted same file twice (look the same & same size - might be genuinly same butā¦) even though calling one as global_ in your post?
I think my RAK 831 has a problem.
I try it with another one
Make sure the reset pin is defined correctly. And make sure SPI is enabled on the RPi.
Which is where we were 4 -5 hrs+ ago 
As you seem to be using dupont cables to connect Pi to conc card alternate is check how set in the firmware and move the wire on the Pi connectorā¦ be sure not to confuse Pi pins with GPIO with BCM pins etcā¦
I think I have destroyed the conc card. I unintentionally started the pi earlier even though the antenna was not connected to the conc card. Maybe the transceiver is burnt out because the conc card only has the 2 standard leds onā¦
Piās donāt use Windows paths ā¦
Maybe, maybe not. But until you get the settings right to run the card at a hardware level, youāll never know.
Unlikely. It would still start but just have RF issues. You need to check SPI is properly enabled and the reset pin. And if you are using DuPont wires, check each and every one of them. Iāve had too many of them that were broken. Switched to wire wrapping for reliable prototyping and real PCBs for production stuff.
And of course you need to check you did wire things correctly.
I have plenty of RPi based gateways, some with the RAK831 card, running smoothly.
You may also find you have to dial down the bus speed - though is usually only an issue where the designers inserted level shifters that then failed to support full speedā¦ should not be an issue with direct wired, but may be worth considering if you wiring is too long or poorly done or suffering from some local interference - best as above is use a proper inteface pcb (RAK has an official one), Like Jac I have dozens of these configs (various PIās +RAK831 -using PCB, not duponts) deployed with no major issues, it will be the details that get you!. Sadly I moved the last of my TTN Zurich/Technoblogy SMTC UDP style builds (similar to PiSupply but without direct wiring) over to alternate form and switched over PF to Jacās MPPF last year otherwise I would follow paths, copy example file for you to follow and PM to youā¦
SPI is activated. I have now tried various cabling. Unfortunately without success. Do you know which pin is the reset pin on the RAK831?
What did you find when you tried the documentation or did a search?..
Never mindā¦
What did the PiSuppy instructions you linked to give you?
As Nick might say - āCochleari Pascensā 
I have now tried all the possibilities and instructions. It just does not want to work. I will now get a new Cond Card module and test it again. Otherwise, Iām looking here another 20 hours for an error. Thanks for your help.
Its promising in a way that you see

As at least you know you are reaching the LNS - the concentrator issue is 99% down to reset problemā¦ can you check the config file - its might be /start.sh or similar(*) where the reset pin (BCM pin) is defined in your set up. If wired correctly there is no obvious reason other than bad luck or a bad dupont per Jac that it shoudnāt workā¦
(*) or did you follow this step
**Step 4** ā Before we setup the gateway on the TTN webpage, you will need to create smallish script, which you can use to reset the gateway. Open up the terminal window and create a bash file with command **sudo nano rak831_reset.sh** and enter the following:
#!/bin/bash
echo ā17ā > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo āoutā > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/direction
echo ā1ā > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value
sleep 5
echo ā0ā > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value
sleep 1
echo ā0ā > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value
In which case ā831_reset.shā where you then need to be sure to do
"Now go back to the Raspberry Pi and reboot it. Once you have rebooted go to the command line in the terminal window and type in the following to reset the Gateway:
sudo bash rak831_reset.sh
After a few moment you should now see the blue LED light up on the RAK concentrator board. This indicates that it is activated and connected to the TTN network. You can confirm this by checking the Gateway status in the TTN Console."
It is more usual to have the reset action as part of the normal gw start up rather than having to manually trigger esp if chance GW may see a power cycle without ability to connect locally or need to visit a remote site to effect a resetā¦
Yes I have already tried it
This is my shart.sh file. I cannot find here where i configure a reset pin.
startscript.txt (1.4 KB)
This is my setup. I have also already changed the dupont cable.
Though the RAK831 is (sadly) now permanently out of stock Ken and the team may still be able to supply you one of these (direct or via a channel partner) - may be worth getting oneā¦!
I will try to get time later to ring out the pinning to see which RPi pin it uses to then perhaps try and use the stock RAK firmware with updates to target TTN V3 - TTS(CE)ā¦
Thank you very much. Can you recommend me an available concentrator card for raspberry pi that I can buy?
Why look to change? The 831 has been around a long while is battle proven is well supported and is one of the easiest to use (believe it or not!) ā¦. I had 2 field failures a while back that sadly I canāt replace, just wish I could get more! The are several alts called out on the forum if you use search though most these days tend to follow an mPCIe like interface which is harder for hobbyists unless you use an official interface board. Check out the rest of the RAK range, look at the iMST 880A, Embit, RisingHF (but check reviews and compliance of specific board), Seeed, n-Fuse (no direct experience with last 2), etc.
Because it just doesnāt work with the current board. I just canāt get the Concentrator card to run. Which is why I suspect it is defective.
where did you source the board from? And yes its poss you have damaged it during set upā¦if it wasnt defective on delivery.
