#BL602 is now transmitting the #LoRaWAN Join Network Request ... But doesn't receive any response from our LoRaWAN Gateway (WisGate) ... Let's check the WisGate LoRaWAN Log
https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/tree/lorawan/customer_app/sdk_app_lorawan#output-log
#WisGate #ChirpStack you're so funny ... I'm nowhere near Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden and Jurong Bird Park 😂
Sadly our #WisGate #LoRaWAN Gateway didn't receive any LoRaWAN Packets transmitted by #BL602 ... Let's look inside the transmitted packets ... And verify the transmission with Airspy SDR
https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/tree/lorawan/customer_app/sdk_app_lorawan#output-log
Airspy SDR verifies that #BL602 is indeed transmitting the Join #LoRaWAN Network packet ... Maybe it contains garbage 🤔
https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/tree/lorawan/customer_app/sdk_app_lorawan#output-log
Here's the "Join Network" #LoRaWAN Packet transmitted by #BL602 ... Does this look right? 🤔 Let's compare with WisBlock
https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/tree/lorawan/customer_app/sdk_app_lorawan#output-log
#LoRaWAN "Join Network" Packet transmitted by #WisBlock ... Looks similar to the one transmitted by BL602 ... Nonce and Message Integrity Code will differ of course
https://github.com/lupyuen/wisblock-lorawan/blob/master/README.md#output-log
#LoRaWAN Packet: #BL602 vs #WisBlock ... Seems BL602 is transmitting at Lower Power than WisBlock ... Let's check the Power Amplifier settings 🤔
https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/tree/lorawan/customer_app/sdk_app_lorawan#output-log
#BL602 vs #WisBlock: Join #LoRaWAN Network Request ... Let's check the Nonce and Message Integrity Code ... Wonder if we can retransmit the BL602 packet from WisBlock 🤔
https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/tree/lorawan/customer_app/sdk_app_lorawan#output-log
Let's copy the Join #LoRaWAN Network Request generated by #BL602 ... And retransmit with #WisBlock ... Surprise: the Join Request succeeds! 😲 Which proves the Nonce and Message Integrity Code are OK ... Probably the BL602 Power Amplifier setting is wrong 🤔
https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/tree/lorawan/customer_app/sdk_app_lorawan#output-log
But wait: Will #LoRaWAN allow replayed "Join Network" Requests? 😲 Nope it doesn't! #WisGate #ChirpStack will reject Replayed Requests because the Nonce needs to be unique ... Here's how we find Nonce Errors in RAKwireless WisGate
Taking a short BL602 break ... To write about everything I've done with #RAKwireless #WisGate

#WisGate #LoRaWAN Gateway receives LoRaWAN Data Packet from #BL602 yay! 🎉
https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/blob/lorawan/customer_app/sdk_app_lorawan/README.md#output-log
We should always select "Public LoRa Network" (instead of Private) ... So that our #BL602 #LoRaWAN Driver will transmit Public Sync Word 0x3444 (instead of 0x1424) ... Duh! 🙄
https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/blob/lorawan/customer_app/sdk_app_lorawan/Makefile#L66-L69
#LoRa Concentrator Doc made me wonder ... Could our #LoRaWAN Gateway be dropping packets from #BL602 because we sent the wrong Sync Word? Yep indeed!
https://github.com/Lora-net/sx1302_hal/tree/master/libloragw#61-spreading-factor-sf5--sf6
#BL602 transmits a packet to #LoRaWAN Gateway and receives the response ... Why is BL602 transmitting at Lower Power, when the Power Amplifier is enabled? 🤔
