pygate, wipy & TTN no data

  • G

    Hello,
    I think I did everything ok, as on the manuals, but gateway is still disconected on TTN

    On my pygate I have:
    boot. py

    # boot.py -- run on boot-up
import machine
import pycom
from _pybytes import Pybytes
from _pybytes_config import PybytesConfig

# We want to save a little bit power
# Disable Heartbeat LED
pycom.heartbeat_on_boot(False)
# Enable Pybytes
pybytes_conf = PybytesConfig().read_config()
pybytes = Pybytes(pybytes_conf)
pybytes.start()

# disable debug messages
machine.pygate_debug_level(1)

# Proceed with main.py
machine.main('main.py')

    global_conf.json (downloaded from TTN);

    I folow manuals and create in TTN Aplication and gateway:

    and to mention, when I restart pygate I get this:

    @Gregor-Leban it does look better now. You must be missing the global_config.json (not global_conf.json).

    @Gregor-Leban did you flash the WiPy with the Pygate version of the firmware? Use the firmware upgrade tool and make sure you pick the right version.
