Objenious : EV_JOIN_TXCOMPLETE: no JoinAccept

[maitrekobayashi]

Hi again,

I'm trying to run the ttn-otaa.ino from the latest github mainline code. My problem seems to be a recurent one but the solutions provided didn't work. Here what i got on the terminal :

16:14:46.425 -> Starting 16:14:46.465 -> Packet queued 16:14:46.465 -> 1767: EV_JOINING 16:14:49.940 -> 220993: EV_TXSTART 16:14:56.960 -> 657246: EV_JOIN_TXCOMPLETE: no JoinAccept 16:15:58.439 -> 4496983: EV_TXSTART 16:16:05.432 -> 4933240: EV_JOIN_TXCOMPLETE: no JoinAccept [...]

Here my pinmapping :

// Pin mapping
const lmic_pinmap lmic_pins = {
    .nss = 10,
    .rxtx = LMIC_UNUSED_PIN,
    .rst = 5,
    .dio = {2, 3, 4},
};

Here my lmic_project_config.h :

#define CFG_eu868 1
#define DISABLE_BEACONS
#define DISABLE_PING
#define CFG_sx1272_radio 1

Point 1 : I tried all the possibilities about lsb, msb. The DevEUI, AppEUI and AppKey I'm using here worked well with a (STM32)L073RZ+SX1272 (with Keil compiler) on this same Objenious server. Point 2 : I tried (as you told others users to try) with adding LMIC_setClockError(MAX_CLOCK_ERROR * 10 / 100); between the LMIC_reset(); and the do_send(&sendjob); in the main

So I'm currently in a lack of solutions to try, maybe someone already got the same problem ?

Thanks

Paul

I MIGHT have found the problem but can't resolve it right now. Indeed, TTN and many LoRaWAN servers use for RX2DR = 3 (SF9) Objenious on the contrary use RX2DR = 0 (SF12). What i don't understand is that OTAA have, for me, to adapt even if ttn-otaa.ino is designed for ttn use. Could I modify it by myself or should I let it down and try with APB ?

EDIT 1 : After trying all possibilities (devEUI etc..) with adding LMIC.dn2Dr = DR_SF12; I've seen no changes. I didn't try to use LMIC_setDrTxpow(DR_SF7,14); because I don't know how the Tx power could affect my configuration.

EDIT 2 : I had the same return on my terminal trying this time to connect to ttn server, not objenious one :

// Pin mapping
const lmic_pinmap lmic_pins = {
.nss = 10,
.rxtx = LMIC_UNUSED_PIN,
.rst = A0,
.dio = {2, 3, 4},
};

I always try the raw sketch with a second radio to confirm that downlink is working at all. You might not have that option, but that's the easiest to start to get a level of confidence to build up from.

Hi again, I tried with an other semtech SX1272MB2xAS and had the same results.

[terrillmoore]

Did you try two radios talking to each other with the raw sketch?

[maitrekobayashi]

Yes the ping pong was working two days ago with these two SX1272 but on STM32 boards, not on Uno

I'm suffering the same issues that you comment in your first message, i can send the join accept, and I also receive this join accept in my gateway, but i never receive any downlink, and I am not doing anything that may delay the timing. Have you found the problem?

[terrillmoore]

Please check ~~#798~~#794. In all cases so far, this has turned out not to be a device problem. Especially in Europe, gateways have very limited downlink bandwidth and joins may not work unless you have a gateway close by. And you must have a multi-channel gateway.

You can also try if ABP works better than OTAA.
