  • @zainmuhammed Can try capturing the GPS when the device is starting the loop instead after joining the LoRaWAN and see?

    You can put the GPS value on top of the loop or setup function.

    Also, what kind of gateway are you using? Is it configured okay, OTA is done?

    here you can see that GPS value is 0,0. also in my previous post you can see that GPS value is not reading.
    Also the status LED is active after it is connected to the satellite.

  • Hi @zainmuhammed ,

    Can you share the GPS and LoRa output when it’s working?

    Also can try capturing the GPS when the device is starting the loop instead after joining the LoRaWAN and see?

    Also make sure the device provides have enough to modules. The GPS need more power when you cold start.

  • I'm working on building a tracker with Xiao nrf52840 sense, Lora E5 and with NEO M8N GPS module.

    Now I have completed connecting XIAO nRF SENSE, LoRa E5 with TTN and it is working properly . Also I connect GPS to Pin number 4 and 5 using SS and it's working properly.
    Now both GPS and LoRa individually working properly. When I combine both GPS and LoRa, Lora in hardware serial and gps in software serial LoRa is connecting to the ttn and sending 0, 0 as latitude and longitude. And also I give a separate power for GPS.

    anyone can help me to fix the issue
