Hello everyone,
I am trying to connect an Adafruit Lora feather 32u4 RFM9X. I followed this tutorial:
https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/labs/story/using-adafruit-feather-32u4-rfm95-as-an-ttn-node
The problem:
However the output I get on the serial monitor continuously is:
Packet queued
60890147: EV_TXCOMPLETE (includes waiting for RX windows)
VBat: 4.32
Packet queued
62271171: EV_TXCOMPLETE (includes waiting for RX windows)
VBat: 4.32
Packet queued
Nothing shows up in the console (no data), it also says that the status of the device is ânever seenâ.
What I tried:
I checked out this link where mathijs suggested the LSB and MSB first. https://github.com/matthijskooijman/arduino-lmic/issues/108
I though maybe the problem is related to range. The nearest gateway is about 500 metres away. The Adafruit page says LoRa range should be 2km with a unidirectional antenna. I am powering the device with just a USB connected to my PC (i.e. no batteries).
