Hi, I´m trying to add a RAK833 RPi HAT gateway to V3 (fresh setup, no V2 migration). I have tried to follow your tutorials & troubleshooting but still get “disconnected” status in the console.
the GW is connected to internet via ethernet cable
as a test, I managed to register the gw on Balena - worked fine on first attempt.
Gw ID: as provided on the gateway´s IoT Lora GW Management page (doublechecked that it´s identical in console and GW)
Gw EUI: My RPI Mac address adding “FF FE” in the middle
server address: eu1.cloud.thethings.network
“gateway secret key” (“This is the Gateway Key from the TTN Console”) but this doesn´t seem to exist for V3? I have tried to generate an API key, but this is 98 byte long and the packer forwarder config requires a key with 101 byte length
region plan: Europe 868 (I’m in Sweden)
Note that I have not done anything with the global_conf.json file and have not set any ports as I don´t know what / how / where)
The Gateway ID is just your reference - double checking won’t help
OK
Correct
This is no longer a thing - the instructions & setup are indeed for v2
Correct.
It would be worth checking in on the Pi-Supply website to see if they have updated for v3.
I moved my Pi-Supply HAT over early February by recompiling the Kersing Packet Forwarder on the Pi and using the global_conf.json that you can download from the gateway configuration page
As said, the GW connected immediately when I tried to register to Balena some weeks ago. So I will test Jac´s Balena route tomorrow. I´ll let you know the outcome.
The older code relies on V2 to get part of the configuration and requires valid V2 credentials for that. My updated version (the second GitHub link in that topic) has been modified to get rid of the V2 dependencies.
I hope my problem fits into this topis. It is regarding migration from v2 to v3 and from packet forwarder to basic station. I’m using RPi (3 and 0), iC880A and RAK 831, all in Balena. (I’ve migrated Lorix before without any problem). First migration of RPi&iC880A was easy. Even more: problematic iC880a, which I had to start packet forwarder on it even more than 4-5 times, now starts without any problems.
Next was RPi&RAK831, as it is described here: GitHub - balenalabs-incubator/basicstation: LoRa Basics™ Station - The LoRaWAN Gateway Software. Again, succesful. But that’s it.
Another two RPi&RAK831 couldn’t connect despite the equal settings, with the same error. No way …
Does someone have any idea where to start “witch hunt”?

Hi, followed by the “Basicstation” repository guide with a board “IC880A” and a RAPSBERRY PI3 and in the TTN V3 console comes out as disconnected. Apart from what appears in the guide would have to do something else?
flash_off
08:11:32
Disconnect gateway
network_check
08:11:32
Receive gateway status
This is what live data responds to and the following one is the balena logs.

Hi, for Pi there is a some software created by @kersing that should do the job - he created gateway software way back in time - the forum search should track it down, it was in the last week or so if I recall.
OK, thank you very much, the question is that i dont know where to start looking. For the moment i will search @kersing to see if there’s luck. If I manage to fix it or find the software, I’ll leave the link attached to this mensage.
Hi, I follow Kersing’s tutorial as you told me but now it gives me another mistake, apparently I have the gw_key and gw_id badly but I put them according to the documentation. What could the problem be?
Anyway, on the gw_key I put “API KEY secret key” and on the gw_id “gateway ID.”
BalenaCloud log error
HTTP Error 404: Not Found
main Unable to fetch configuration from TTN. Is the TTN API reachable from gateway? Are your GW_ID and GW_KEY correct? Retry in 30s
i did try to ping the gateway server address but it does not comunicate with any on of the devices in my network.
