Error while connecting - The requested operation is not possible

[ioTor]

Hi,

I have a Pysense board and a loPy4 with pyCom version: 1.18.1.r7

I trying to connect to "The Things Network". and keep getting the error:
File "<stdin>", line 28, in <module>
OSError: the requested operation is not possible

The line is:
lora.join(activation=LoRa.OTAA, auth=(app_eui, app_key), timeout=0)

What does that error message mean?. The Firmware is the current version.

Thanks for help!

@iotor said in Error while connecting - The requested operation is not possible:

lora = LoRa(mode=LoRa.LORA, rx_iq=True, region=LoRa.EU868)

This line should be as below, if you want to connect to a Lora network like TTN or Loriot:
lora = LoRa(mode=LoRa.LORAWAN, rx_iq=True, region=LoRa.EU868)

Of course,:

# Initialize LoRa in LORAWAN mode.
app_eui = ubinascii.unhexlify('70...')
app_key = ubinascii.unhexlify('11B0282A189B75..')

lora = LoRa(mode=LoRa.LORA, rx_iq=True, region=LoRa.EU868)
print("DevEUI: %s" % (ubinascii.hexlify(lora.mac()).decode('ascii')))
print("AppEUI: %s" % (ubinascii.hexlify(app_eui)))

# join a network using OTAA (Over the Air Activation)

@iotor Would you also show us the code related to Lora that was executed before that line.
