<![CDATA[ABP keys (nwk_swkey, app_swkey)]]>After trying OTAA unsuccessfully, I am trying ABP now. I found some example code that uses nwk_swkey and app_swkey, but no explanation on how to get/generate these keys. Also, I am assuming that dev_addr is the same as the OTAA device address?

Those keys including dev_addr come from and must match what’s on your Network Server

Dev_addr is not the same as Dev EUI.

To relate to WiFi think of Dev EUI as your WiFi adapter MAC address and Dev Addr as your assigned IP.

For OTAA activation I have these fields on the Things Network:0_1517469141887_Screen Shot 2018-02-01 at 08.07.43.png
Activation mode: OTAA Do I have to change this to ABP?
Device EUI, Application EUI : do I have to use any of these in ABP?
Device address: my question was about this field not Device EUI....

Can anyone please provide all the steps needed for ABP acivation?

Go into the Settings tab for your device, change "Activation method" to ABP and everything will become clear :-)

Once the fields are generated in the TTN console copy them over to your lora.join(...) call.

The application is happily sending data, but nothing gets received on the TTN page...

Also, what frequency should I use for the Netherlands? I have tried 868100000, 868300000 and 868500000.

I moved my device closer to a window and now data arrives at the TTN site. We live in an apartment with several floors above us, so that was probably too big a barrier for the signal...
