Demo software suddenly stopped working with TTN

matthixson · June 16, 2023, 8:12pm

Hi, I have a Pi with the RAK 2243 hat and a Sparkfun Explorable Thing Plus. I followed Sparkfun’s setup guides and had the Arduino sending data through the RAK gateway to TTN without much trouble at all. In the TTN console I can see the gateway status being updated and the live data coming from the Arduino.
This all worked fine for about a day. Setting it up again today and I can see that the gateway is sending updates to TTN, but their console says that my device has not sent any data. I don’t think this is correct, however, because the gateway view shows messages coming from my device id.

But then I look at the device activity and it says there hasn’t been activity since yesterday.
[removed my screenshot of that because I’m told I can only insert one media item]

I haven’t made any configuration changes or done anything that I think would have broken things. Indeed it looks to me like the Arduino is still sending messages over LoRa, through the RAK gateway, and on to TTN.

I also went through my previous day’s syslog files and I don’t see anything that looks like it logged my successfully sent messages. Right now I’m seeing this in syslog.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and please let me know if there is any other info I can provide.
Cheers,
-Matt
