Dragino LGT-92 - LoRaWAN GPS Tracker location

hi,

i connected my LGT-92 and was able to do a join: i have some connections and seen the location in the ttnmapper website.

however we are a few days further in time and tried to start the LGT-92 again:
i can see that it connects to ttn and the data is showing in the application however my location info is missing?

what are the regular times to expect a gps-lock for this device?
any tips how to fix?

did you try outside ?

If the GPS is outside, with a good view of the sky, expect a GPS fix from cold in around 40 seconds.

tried outside, not sure what’s changed it.
checking all keys again now

rebooted my gateway, checked all keys, restarted the device:
see that my gateway received the join and accept is being made…
not completed however:(

this is my only node atm, not sure what’s smart…
waiting for ftdi and extra nodes

Same for me.
I just received a new LGT-92. Stock Firmware
Connection by OTAA with my TTIG.
Put the node in the garden.
No GPS value!

WHY?

With two people reporting problems with the GPS on the LGT-92, it might be worth asking Dragino if there is a problem with their product.

hi, tried to contact them too using their support.
no response yet, but as i only have one lora device atm was hoping to get more experienced people around. my ftdi and new nodes still being processed.

Well it would need someone with experience of that particular module really.

Worth checking to see if Dragino provide any test software that you can use to check that things like the GPS are working. If they dont then they ought to.

I have send a emeil to edwin from dragino in order to have a solution.

nice! i got a request too, hope they wil respond, time-zone difference quite big here

Edwin agrees that this is not OK, shouldn’t be happening, hope my ftdi converter is arriving asap, need to connect it to learn more …

same for me…
need a converter.
“Do you have USB to TTL adapter? Can you log in the device and see the output?”

ftdi arrived:

Edwin suggested to reset the device and reprogram the keys.

hi Edwin,

got in the config mode with AT+FDR

tried to configure the keys:

LGT-92 Device

Image Version: v1.4

Frequency Band: EU868

DevEui= A8 40 41 00 01 81 92 D6

Please set the parameters or reset Device to apply change

AT+DEUI=[DEV-EUI] ==> OK
AT+APPEUI=[APP-EUI] ==> AT_PARAM_ERROR
AT+APPKEY=[APP-key] ==> AT_PARAM_ERROR

ATZ => device in restart-loop

somehow the APP-keys aren’t accepted in my device only the DEV-EUI works.

anyone here with experience?

I was able to set the APPKEY using the AT commands, but make sure you don’t paste directly from the things console into your terminal window. The character between the bytes is not an ASCII space. Paste it into notepad, clean it up and then try again.

thanks… added spaces.
but still kept going thru frequencies trying to join.

feels like a broken receiver:

And you powered off and back on after making the changes? Did it attempt to rejoin?

hi,

tried that, first ATZ to reset
secondly disconnected power switch to off and back to on.
still see the join accepts being send uit from the gateway and rxtimeouts in the console while connected

tried to reconfigure in ABP: to check if the keys would be an issue: not working either
