Heltec Wireless Stick Lite V3 - code -12 and then -1108 about radiolib HOT 16 CLOSED

Hi @vladosam, I see that you configured your device as a LoRaWAN 1.0.x device.

LoRaWAN session: v1.0

RadioLib specifically calls out for version 1.1.0 as the LoRaWAN version, as version 1.0.x is not tested and therefore definitely not guaranteed to work. Please register your device with version 1.1.0 and retry.

You may also have more luck by running the most recent version on GitHub (heck, maybe even the currently open PR), as opposed to version 6.4.2 that is currently out. There's a couple of bugfixes and improvements that are not out yet.

And if that still doesn't work, please disable the VERBOSE flag first before posting additional logs, as the SPI output makes the logs way too long to read. If we need the SPI output, we'll let you know :)

Quick note: I also see that you call out both beginOTAA() and restore(). If you look at the current upstream examples, you'll notice that references to restore() are generally removed; you shouldn't need that call as long as you use saveSession(). In the current release 6.4.2 that is likely to cause some problems as well.

It was GW misconfiguration that caused code -6 error. I probably made mistake trying to fix my first code -12 error. Now node successfully connects to server. There is [LoRaWAN] Frequency error: -14100.16 Hz in serial console on node. Is that something unusual?

from radiolib.

You can ignore that, it's some gimmick output that has zero meaning about LoRaWAN.

from radiolib.

Thanks for reply. I will set device to 1.1.0 and try again.

from radiolib.

Progress. I changed device profile to lora 1.1 but now there is a new error code -6. Now I probably have join problem because I don't see device as active on server. I also remove restore() from code.

Do you have access to gateway console / logs?

from radiolib.

I have access to gateway. It is Heltec HT-M01 GW with Samtec PacketForwarder_UI.

Does a join-request arrive at your Chirpstack server (either at the gateway console on your server or in the gateway logs)?
If you do see it somewhere, the problem is likely that there is a problem with the DevNonce in the join-request, and you should check "Resets DevNonces" on your device console (no idea where that is on Chirpstack, I use TTN).
If you do not see any join-request, we will have to look a bit harder.

from radiolib.

I don't see join requests on server. There were join requests when I used 1.0.2 lorawan version.

I don't see join requests on server. There were join requests when I used 1.0.2 lorawan version.

It's super very important to clarify if you see the JR in the gateway console but not in the device console as this will confirm the DevNonce situation.

In the meanwhile we can look at Chirpstack DevNonce config.

from radiolib.

There is no JR on server. On GW this is what I see in console when I power up board.

On Chirpstack DevNonce is under Activation and it is empty for my device.

There is no JR on server.

So the JR isn't getting to the gateway server at all?

Useful screen shot, thanks - good to know there is a clear DevNonce button

from radiolib.

No. Nothing comes to server.

from radiolib.

Now I found that my GW is acting strange. It looks like it lost connection to server. It's getting late here so I will test this more in the morning and I will get back to you. Thanks for your help.
