SparkFun LoRa Thing Plus – expLoRaBLE: Unable to connect to TTN

Hi there

I recently purchased a SparkFun LoRa Thing Plus – expLoRaBLE and tried to connect it to TheThingsNetwork.

Following the guide: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sp … -guide/all

While setting up, I even found a bug in the example code provided:

Those were my setting for the end device in the TTN:

The output of my Serial Monitor was the following:

serial_monitor_com.txt (2.42 KB)

Has anybody an idea what I’m doing wrong?

I’ll gladly provide more information if needed.

Hmm, I think the best thing you can do is post on the github so our engineers can work on the bug in the code.

Try filing an issue here: https://github.com/jgromes/RadioLib

I hope this helps. Happy holidays!

Wodan, were you able to resolve your expLoRaBLE problem?

I have what appears to me the same issue.

I have a SparkFun The Things Plus ExpLoRaBLE Plus (#WRL-17506), and that I recently obtained and configured as per hook-up guide. Using the basic LoRaWAN sketch that was provided on the website, I modified for OTAA (over the air authentication), based on work I had done for my SparkFun SAMD-21 Pro RF LoRaWAN board that does work. I also modified that transmit interval to 120000 millisec (2 minutes). I monitor the device via the TTN dashboard and see that is joins the network. But, receive the RX TIMEOUT Error that appears similar to the error messages you posted in 2021.
