SiPy firmware update tool now available with ID and PAC for activation

[iotmaker]

i had lots of problems to get it to work, i had to Safe boot, the factory
firmware and then i did run the update connecting the GND+G23 and then run updater

nevertheless the new firmware is useless because pymkr is so buggy i cant even sync a damm project.. i am willing two sell my 2 kits with expansion board here on the US.. message me ..

I got the updater running, no problems :) os.uname() = (sysname='SiPy', nodename='SiPy', release='1.5.0.b2', version='v1.8.6-429-g062de94 on 2017-02-05', machine='SiPy with ESP32', sigfox='1.0.0') :))
However - I can't get the Bleutooth lib working?
You said it would be included in this long awaited fw update?!

@maku, yes sorry, I made a mistake when publishing the firmware and I used a version with Bluetooth disabled. Apologies for this. A new version will be released today with Bluetooth included.

Cheers,
Daniel

Sweet. Thank you for the effort, quick reply and know it's appreciated.

All worked fine for me - thanks for the efforts and works great.

The firmware update works fine, but I run the example code (https://docs.pycom.io/pycom_esp32/library/network.Sigfox.html) adapting it to my RCZ and I do not see the messages in the sigfox backend, what am I doing wrong?

1. Check that you plugged the antenna on the right uFL port, next to the sigfox print. I did this mistake at first ...
2. Did you check Sigfox coverage in your area ?

Feel free to reach out at devrelations@sigfox.com if you want me to get a closer look (precise coverage, ...)

@nicolsc thanks for jumping into this so quickly.

@Ricardo-M which RCZ are you trying? Is it zone 2 by chance? Adding to what @nicolsc wrote, the pinout sheet points to the correct u.fl connector for the Sigfox antenna: https://www.pycom.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Sipy_v01_1_pinout_rc.pdf :-)

@nicolsc and @daniel thank you very much for the clarifications and your quick response, the problem was the same as @nicolsc, I was just seeing the sipy diagram that is shown in the datasheet and the UFL connector where should go the sigfox antenna will be labeled as LORA, So I plug it into the other, but it was just make the connector change and it worked.

My RCZ is 4 (Colombia) and I know with certainty that there is coverage where I carry out the tests.

I already see the messages in the backend

Additionally many garcias by the pinoout.

Great job, everything works great.

@ricardo-m hola Ricardo, estoy intentado conectarme por sigfox en Cali, sigfox = Sigfox(mode=Sigfox.SIGFOX, rcz=Sigfox.RCZ4) pero no puedo ver el dispositivo en el backend, podrías darme alguna indicación, muchas gracias.
