      Hi Guys,

      I have been doing some testing with the PyTrack and have two questions. I am running code very similar to this:

      https://startiot.telenor.com/learning/pytrack-quick-start-guide/

      The questions are:

      1. When I use a LiPo battery, data is sent to my LoRa provider (Loriot), but it is all zeros and null values ( am am inside so GPS will be zero, but does work outside :))

        None,None,0,0,0

      When I am connected via USB, it looks like so:

      None,None,6.017615,57.97042,-57.27425
      
      1. On the above code, once connected to the LoRa network, the accelerometer data never changes, it always stays at the same value until I reboot the device.

      Thanks for any help :)

        Can you please indicate what type and capacity of LiPo battery you are using?

        On the above code, once connected to the LoRa network, the accelerometer data never changes, it always stays at the same value until I reboot the device.

        Please try to call the acceleration() method before calling read()

          Hi @Xykon ,

          Thanks for reply, that works for the PySense update!

          The Battery I am using is a 3.7v 2000mAh.
