New firmware release v1.13.0.b1 (Sigfox and LoRa coexistency on the LoPy4)

[daniel]

Hello Naveen,

The only way to know if the device is transmitting is with a Spectrum Analyzer, but I don't think you could have damaged the radio. Please read the Sigfox ID and PAC from the device and tell me what you get:

from network import Sigfox
import socket
import binascii

sigfox = Sigfox(mode=Sigfox.SIGFOX, rcz=Sigfox.RCZ3)

print(binascii.hexlify(sigfox.id()))

print(binascii.hexlify(sigfox.pac()))

Cheers,
Daniel

'@daniel I got this output:

@naveen seems correct. Are you able to revert the firmware back to the previous release? As far as we can test Sigfox is still working OK with this version, but maybe in your case there's a problem. It would be great if you can revert to the 1.12.0.b1 release and test again. Thanks.

Cheers,
Daniel

@daniel do you have any ideas about the reboots of the fipy? I still have yet to downgrade, but need the Sigfox functionally and concerned it may not be in the version I downgrade to.

Cheers!

@pymiom 1.12.0.b1 also has Sigfox. Have you tried a different USB cable? There are a lot of weird issues which are caused by faulty cables...

[naveen]

@denial How can I revert back to 1.12.0.b1 ? I guess the updater always installs the latest one.

Thanks @livius, just downgraded to 1.12.0.b1 using the same link you provided. @daniel it is still same, no message is going to sigfox backend.
Can be it antenna issue?

Also, in the device information at Sigfox backend "Radio Configurations" seems wrong. ( I am in Japan):

Modem manufacturer: PYCOM_device_maker
Modem name: SiPy-14
Modem version: S I P Y 1.0 R
Radio Configurations: RC1

@daniel @Xykon I also updated to the latest version but sigfox is not working. Do you have any idea what could be the reason? Is it bricked?
