I’m currently trying to use SenseCAP M1 as a gateway for TTN. Is it possible to do so? If yes, then how can I find my gateway’s credentials (Gateway EUI) needed to register my gateway to TTN?

I have checked the label, but it doesn’t contain any information about EUI, this gateway is a bit different from the SenseCAP LoRaWAN gateways.
That is a Helium gateway. It might be possible, however Helium gateway software and updates are managed by the gateway manufacturer so even if you succeed in adapting it now it might revert to helium at any point in the future if you are not careful.
I don’t expect there are many users with experience performing this operation as Helium gateways are more expensive then generic LoRaWAN gateways and most users want to keep mining to recoup their investment or even make some money. (Unlikely with current $HNT values)
There was one topic on this recently. TL:DR: It’s a Raspberry Pi with a concentrator card on it, take out the SD Card, find a new one, flash it with Raspberry OS and try a standard Packet Forwarder install.

Many Helium hotspots can be used for any LoRaWAN network as long as it is using a RaspberryPi. Many of them use a RAK concentrator from which details are unavailable.
Nebra has made firmware for many of these hotspots using Balena Openfleet. The source is accessible so you can reverse engineer various hardware settings of a hotspot.
Hotspots using rockchip, are a different story.

I wonder where I would find the correct reset pins for a SenseCAP M1 Raspberry PI hat:
Chapter " Hardware Solutions"
It holds a WM1302 PCIE concentrator card.
I’ve connected this hat to a Raspberry PI 3B and run BasicStation corecell example. It successfully connects to TTN and also successfully forwards node messages to TTN, but after some time crashes when TTN closes the connection:

2023-01-03 02:14:53.915 [any:CRIT] Radio device '/dev/spidev0.0' in use by process: 881
Simply restarting BasicStation or the OS does not help - I still get “Radio device ‘/dev/spidev0.0’ in use by process:”. The only thing (known to me) that helps is shutting down the PI and waiting for some time.
I suspect that the reset pins are wrong, and therefore the concentrator is not really reset.
So, any hints how to find out the correct pins would be appreciated.
I’ve also found the following issue which should be resolved, but apparently still occurs in my case:
Starting BasicStation as a daemon does not really help - it restarts the process, but the same error occurs over and over again.
With the following custom command line the behavior is slightly different, but still, there is an endless failure loop.

Ask the supplier or manufacturer of the device ?
Stop posting unformatted logs would be a good start - it makes the posts very difficult to read - try the </> tool!
Perfectly valid objection - I’ve edited my posts accordingly.
I’d better not post in the middle of the night any more

Hey does this help?
Identifies the pins nicely
Maybe you would have to buy the correct hat without all the helium bits on it.
The pins given here are for a different HAT.
I’ve asked in the manufacturer’s forum 11 days ago and not yet received an answer.
In the meantime, I’ve installed the original (helium) firmware, and found the reset pins in a log file:
root@my-sensecapmx:/# more /mnt/data/docker/volumes/1839165_pktfwd-log/_data/pktfwd.log

Can't find region, sleep 60s and try again...
Thu Jan 5 20:15:58 UTC 2023
Find region [EU868] from /var/data/region
The region of this gateway is [EU868]
Load the following configuration files:
- /opt/sx1302_hal/packet_forwarder/global_conf.json.sx1250.EU868
CoreCell reset through GPIO17...
CoreCell reset 1261 through GPIO5...
*** Packet Forwarder ***
Version: 1.0.5
*** SX1302 HAL library version info ***
Version: 1.0.5;
***
I’ve then changed the reset script of BasicStation to use GPIO17 and GPIO5.
Since then, it seems stable.

Hi,
is there any place that explain the steps of installation of Basic Station on sensCAPM1? because Im not expert on basics station configuration and I could not follow the discussion. All the examples and guidance are giving only a part of the task but could not find a complete one. many thanks in advance.
Yes - 100% agree - this would be perfect, if some of you , who have this specific knowledge about it , can create a short description for the M1. Due to the more and more obvious fail from Helium, it might be a good chance to grow the TTN by - if possible- generating a transition from given Helium miner hardware based on a Rasp Pi
After reading the information from many sources - please confirm me, that the following process will be successful to bring the M1 as TTN gateway back to life -or please correct me, if i would do wrong:
- Remove SD card and prepare SD card for Raspberry Pie OS
- Install & configer this OS
- Install Basic Station
4.Modify the GPIO17 and GPIO5 in the installed Basic Station script for running the Seed Lorawan concentrator card - Install the Sensecap M1 as gateway at TTN
JFDI and tell us how it went?
if i will do it - yes. But actually i am not sure, if i better use the included Pi 4 for something else
