RAK7258 Empty Packet Logger

Issue: The Overview page shows LoRa packets being received every few minutes, but no matter how long I keep the LoRa Packet Logger open, I don’t ever see any packets listed. Hide CRC is unchecked. Not sure packets are being forwarded to TTN either, as it says 0 packets received.

Setup: RAK7258 915 MHz model, firmware 1.2.0065_Release r209

LoRa® Server: TTN

@jimv,

What a bout the system log, maybe we could examine it to get to the bottom of the issue?
But it is very weird to have packets received in the overview and not in the logger, interesting.

Thanks Vladislav. Here’s a bit of the system log. I’ve tried both Chrome and Firefox for macOS just to make sure it wasn’t a browser issue.

Hei @jimv,

OK If you look at the received packets they are all with CRC FAIL, thus you can’t see them in the logger, although you should technically see it, might be a bug. Still bottom line is you got CRC errored packets only, this is not good.
Also why they are not forwarded.
Check your node settings, bands, data rate, antenna, etc. Seems the issue might be there.

Vladislav

That makes sense. The frames may be so corrupt that they can’t be deciphered for the packet logger. I’ll get a node that I can test with good signal. Right now I’m just seeing what is in the broader area. Thanks.

@jimv,

Np, once you do more tests it should be apparent if it is indeed the node.

Regards
Vladislav
