I have a RAK7289V2 gateway and my end nodes use RFM95W modules controlled using the LMIC library on Arduino-based Atmega328p MCUs. Packets appear on the dashboard Packet Capture, but the the nodes are “never seen” on LoRa>Applications. I want to use the built-in network server and to access the packets using MTTQ.fx on my my laptop. The packets are not seen by MTTQ either, and I think that problem is related to the feature that the nodes are never seen on LoRa>Applications. All keys are properly set both on LMIC and on the gateway. I am wondering if using White List packet filters could solve this. Any thoughts?
Welcome @fauxmg to RAK forum
Seen packets on the Packet Capture doesn’t mean the payload was accepted on the application. If you can provide us logs on the device side both on the Built-in LNS Application and on the LMIC code, that would be help. The device is likely not joining the network successfully or there is error on the uplinks.
Here is my LMIC code: #include <lmic.h>
#include <hal/hal.h>
#include <SPI.h>
