Lora expLoRaBLE upload problems

Development Boards Artemis

Sadly, the onboard LEDs do not blink and both boards still have the same problem, even when rebooting and changing ports and cables.

Thanks, APS

I am calling it a day … it is late here (Amsterdam/ Netherlands)… maybe more / better thoughts tomorrow… still very weird… Maybe give it another try with SVL… who knows…

No worries, thanks for all the help, nice to see other people living in Europe post on the forum as I am in London and this isn’t the most popular hobby here! Till tomorrow. Good evening.

I am running low on ideas.

  1. Back to basics: double-check/reinstall the drivers, the setup of the power supply, and the correct board etc. etc. This issue is caused by something fundamental/basic.

  2. There is another post that is working on the LORA EXPLORABLE with other problems, but maybe that person is better help than me https://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?f=99&t=59421

  3. Try to install the Sparkfun bootloader. you can get that from https://github.com/sparkfun/Apollo3_Uploader_SVL

  4. Maybe you have bad luck and 2 boards and should return them.

I think you are right, I just connected my Qwiic devices to an old Arduino nano 33 BLE and it worked with no problems, the only reason I bought the Lora ExpLoRaBLE board was for LoRa, but I think I am better off returning my boards and using an external radio with my Arduino as I am on a tight schedule, many thanks for all the help you have given me thus far and goodbye for now.
