I’m trying to connect to the TTN through my Dragino DLOS8 with an ESP32 and a adafruit RFM95 breakout board. But I’m having some issues, it either Errors out(that was probably testing pins that wouldn’t work) or an infinite wall of:
13264610: EV_TXSTART
13666332: EV_JOIN_TXCOMPLETE: no JoinAccept
I’m not sure if this is a pinout issue, a configuration issue on the application/device in TTN console or simply in the gateway.
The current pinout:
const lmic_pinmap lmic_pins = {
.nss = 5,
.rxtx = LMIC_UNUSED_PIN,
.rst = 14,
.dio = {2, 27, 12},
};
The pins right now is random, but just a few that would be available on the finished board(nothing else plugged in while testing). My Dragino DLOS8 is added to TTN and setup according to their manual. I’m wondering if there is an issue with region setup in the code and the Dragino however. But also unsure if pinouts are fine. The SPI pins on the RFM95 is correct, already tested LoRa between two ESP32 successfully, so I know the components and radio work. Only wondering about the DIO pins. Another possibility is LoRaWAN version, can’t find out in the spec what the RFM95 uses.
Pin reference though, based on my wroom 32 devkit:
SPI MOSI: 23
SPI MISO: 19
SPI SCK: 18
SPI SS/CS: 5
Reset: 14

* This example sends a valid LoRaWAN packet with payload "Hello,

*
* This uses OTAA (Over-the-air activation), where where a DevEUI and
* application key is configured, which are used in an over-the-air
* activation procedure where a DevAddr and session keys are
* assigned/generated for use with all further communication.
*
* Note: LoRaWAN per sub-band duty-cycle limitation is enforced (1% in
* g1, 0.1% in g2), but not the TTN fair usage policy (which is probably
* violated by this sketch when left running for longer)!
* To use this sketch, first register your application and device with
* the things network, to set or generate an AppEUI, DevEUI and AppKey.
* Multiple devices can use the same AppEUI, but each device has its own
