Itās good that your gateway is shown as connected, but what I was referring to was the device in your applicationā¦ If you go to your āapplicationā select the ādeviceā that you expect has sent data and look at the ālast seenā timeā¦ it should be recent. If it says ānever seenā then no packets have arrived at TTN from that device.
The tcpdump output should look like this for a packet being uploaded. Note the receive packet field in the UDP packet ārxpkā this show the packet is being properly forwarded.
I only see āstatā updates in your output. This is your gateway sending its status to TTNā¦ This is all good. Make sure you sending device is properly configuredā¦
At the moment, I donāt have a device. My interest is to verify that my newly installed gateway really works.
But I guess Iāll either have to wait for someone elseās device to send something thatās strong enough to be received, or build a device of my own.
Today Iāll build a device to check my gateway. During the first 23 hours of operations, the gateway claims to have received 835 packets, with 100% CRC fail (and 0 packets showing in my open tab on the TTN console trafic).
If there are no (known) nodes that is to be expected. Packets with CRC errors are not a problem, just ignore them.
For you node, make sure to keep it at least 3 meters from the gateway, nodes closer to the gateway might have too strong a signal resulting in CRC errors as well.
Hi,
Iām using RAK831.
could RAK831 send beacons without gps module??
(like disabling gps)
I want to use RPI3 timer to periodic beacon transmissions.
when I look at the packet forwarder code from semtech, it seems gateway cannot transmit beacons without gps.
Current price of RAK831 KIT is ā¬113.29, shipping is ā¬4.82 making a total of ā¬118.11. In the Netherlands the Dutch Customs will add 21% VAT plus ā¬13 handling fee for the local parcel shipping company which makes a total of: ā¬156. If you buy the basic RAK831 (non-kit) version you can save ā¬6 making the total ā¬150.
