Hi All I am using RAK7243C in AS-1 region which is successfully able to connect with The Things Network (TTN) cloud. However it’s not showing any live data coming from my Node. Can someone please help, below are the details:
I made an application with information as in the picture below in TTN:
Now, I am using whisper Node LoRa (Atmega328 + RFM95) to publish LoRa data. The library I am using is MCCI_LoRaWAN_LMIC_library-4.1.1. I had made an Arduino program as pasted below with its serial output mentioned after it:

* This example sends a valid LoRaWAN packet with payload "Hello,
* world!", using frequency and encryption settings matching those of
* the The Things Network.
*
* This uses ABP (Activation-by-personalisation), where a DevAddr and
* Session keys are preconfigured (unlike OTAA, where a DevEUI and
* application key is configured, while the DevAddr and session keys are
* assigned/generated in the over-the-air-activation procedure).
*
* 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 a DevAddr, NwkSKey and
* AppSKey. Each device should have their own unique values for these
* fields.
*
* Do not forget to define the radio type correctly in
* arduino-lmic/project_config/lmic_project_config.h or from your BOARDS.txt.

Thank you.
PS: Since, RAK7243C supports * Full LoRaWAN Stack support (version 1.0.2), I have made few changes as recommended in MCCI_LoRaWAN_LMIC_library-4.1.1’ libraries readme.:
Selecting V1.0.2
In project_config/lmic_project_config.h, add:
#define LMIC_LORAWAN_SPEC_VERSION LMIC_LORAWAN_SPEC_VERSION_1_0_2
On your compiler command line, add:
-D LMIC_LORAWAN_SPEC_VERSION=LMIC_LORAWAN_SPEC_VERSION_1_0_2
