No connection to lorawan by paxcount

I have a Lilygo T3_V1.6.1 2010104 board and wanted to install the latest npaxcounter 3.6.1 with Visal Studio 1.88 and platcormio core v6.1.14. I did everything as in the instructions

This error occurs during the build

.pio/libdeps/usb/MCCI LoRaWAN LMIC library/src/hal/getpinmap_thisboard.cpp: In function ‘const Arduino_LMIC::HalPinmap_t* Arduino_LMIC::GetPinmap_ThisBoard()’:
.pio/libdeps/usb/MCCI LoRaWAN LMIC library/src/hal/getpinmap_thisboard.cpp:71:72: note: #pragma message: Board not supported – use an explicit pinmap
#pragma message(“Board not supported – use an explicit `pinmap”)
^

APPEUI and APP KEY are missing when I transfer it to the lilygo

Can you upload your project in full on Github / Google Drive?

It’s not my project, it’s this one

I did it exactly as in the instructions and configured lorawan that way, but somehow it is not transferred

loraconf.h

static const u1_t DEVEUI[8] = {0x30, 0x83, 0x98, 0xDC, 0xBC, 0x.., 0x.., 0x..};
static const u1_t APPEUI[8] = {0x70, 0xB3, 0xD5, 0x7E, 0xD0, 0x.., 0x.., 0x..};
static const u1_t APPKEY[16] = {0xC9, 0xBF, 0x4F, 0xB1, 0x6D, 0x49, 0xF4, 0x73, 0x2D, 0xB2, 0xAB, 0xDD, 0x.., 0x.., 0x.., 0x..};

but APPEUI & APPKEY missing in TTGO

sorry I am a beginner at VS.

I have only installed VS Code C/C++ and platformIO ide

maybe a bug with toolchain?

I don’t know how to solve it

Meaning what? The code looks in regards to “sets the right pinmap”, so I think that can be ignored.

Also note that TTN shows you the DEVEUI etc. in reverse order than what the LMIC stack wants (LMIC wants in LSB, TTN shows in MSB by default).

If the keys and EUIs are right, then you also have to make sure that there is a TTN gateway in your vicinity. Not sure if you operate your own gateway or not.

I have my own gateway next to me, that’s not the problem. In the Terminel log, see above, it only says DEVEUI.

If everything was correct, it would also say APPEUI and APPKEY.

here you can see … APPEUI and APPKEY = 000000…

Well, the logs indicate that the OTAA Join was not yet successfull, so it can’t have yet acquired a device adress (and with it the net id as the first few bits), so that is “normal”. You have to look into why its JoinRequst is not being answered with a JoinAccept. If you have your own gateway next to you, go look at the packet logs. Are there any join requests with a DevEUI as you’ve set? Is it being forwarded to the TTN console?

Note that depending on your geographical region, you need to set the configuration macros for the LMIC region, too. (US900, EU868, CN470, etc…).

This is how I bought the paxcount, but I couldn’t register it with TTN. But here you can see that APPEUI and APPKEY are displayed. The only strange thing is that

REgion is right … EU868

well… I just went through this with the same board and finally had success joining my RA7268 lora gateway this afternoon.

Here are the things that I had to do:

  • loraconf.h : set the APPEUI as well as the APPKEY. These numbers came from my application configuration screen, they were initially blank but had an auto generate button which I clicked on to have some generated. Do not enter a deveui in your loraconf.h file; it will be provided by the gateway application once you successfully join.

  • lmic_config.h uncomment the #define DFG_us915 1 line (line 11)

  • platformio.ini : uncomment line 18 halfile = ttgov21new.h

  • platformio.ini: I had to change the upload speed to my board in order to get platformio to play nicely / upload code to it.

  • paxcounter.conf I set the correct POSIX timezone string which I found here: posix timezone list

Hopefully this helps you eddi.

So assuming this DevEUI matches the one you put in your loraconf.h, that does look good. If you see that in the gateway logs, is the same JoinRequest forwarded to the TTN console when you look at the Gateway logs or device logs there?

yes thanks has worked now
