SiPy's ID and PAC

[michal.zykov]

Hi @bucknall!

Even if I use the mentioned snippet the same output can be seen, i.e. b'ffffffff'. Any suggestion?

Hi @michal.zykov! First of all, have you updated your SiPy? And if so are you using Debian (Linux) to update your device?

[michal.zykov]

Hi @bucknall!

Yep, I already updated SiPy by using Linux updater (Fedora 25) - SiPy firmware 1.6.7.b1. I'm able to send a print-screen that it was successful.

Thx,
Mike

@michal.zykov, we've identified a problem with the Linux Firmware Updater and are handling it now. If you could use the Windows or Mac OS Firmware Update tool, that should get you up & running for the time being!

Apologies about this! We're working to get it sorted asap!

Thanks!

Hi @bucknall!

I've tried to re-flash SiPy by using MS Windows firmware updater. It works great! Thank you! Hope, you'll be able to fix Linux firmware updater soon.

Hello,

I have the same problem. How could I find the right Device ID and PAC?

I'm using Mac OS X.

@josep-salom Can you please provide more details? What is the output you get from the commands?

[josep.salom]

@xykon I'm using the procedure as indicated in https://docs.pycom.io/chapter/gettingstarted/registration/sigfox.html, and I got:

>>>
b'ffffffff'
b'ffffffffffffffff'
>
MicroPython v1.8.6-470-gf41d0f27 on 2017-02-22; SiPy with ESP32
Type "help()" for more information.
>>>

which are not correct ID and PAC.

I'm using SiPy module with Pysense, on a Mac OS X 10.11.6 running Visual Studio Code.

@xykon I've just upgraded SiPy and still have the problem:

>>>
b'ffffffff'
b'ffffffffffffffff'
>
Pycom MicroPython 1.18.0 [v1.8.6-849-046b350] on 2018-06-01; SiPy with ESP32
Type "help()" for more information.

How could I get the right ID and PAC?

@josep-salom Sigfox registration requires using the firmware updater in online mode.

[josep.salom]

@xykon So sorry, I'm very new on that. What does it exactly mean? How should I do that?

[Xykon]

@josep-salom You need to solve this problem first so that you can use the firmware updater in online mode. This is required to get your Sigfox ID and PAC allocated. I suggest you email us with your IP address so that we can do some testing.

@bucknall For SIgfox backend registration I beleive I need to put the ID and and PAC out put from with hexlifiy

print("ID ", ubinascii.hexlify(sigfox.id()))
print("PAC ", ubinascii.hexlify(sigfox.pac()))

in my case is:

ID b'004e3d90'
PAC b'c957cd18b7848c0'

so ID that I typed is '004e3d90' and PAC 'c957cd18b7848c0'

The device seems to be registered but on backend device webpage I can not see it online at all. How I do I know when is connected to the (Luxembourg) Sigfox network and will get online?

It is done immediately or shall I wait?
