PIN MAPPING PROBLEM

[K3RN3L97]

So, I have a bare RF95 Module with the following schematic

and am using an arduino UNO as well with the following pinouts

and this is my pin mapping

const lmic_pinmap lmic_pins = { .nss = 10, .rxtx = LMIC_UNUSED_PIN, .rst = 9, .dio = {2, 6, 7}, };

am always stuck at joining, do you think the mapping is the problem? thanks in advance

Arduino Uno = 5V device. RFM95 = 3.3V device. Try an Arduino Pro Mini.

[K3RN3L97]

it's not a problem, all i have to do is connect it to the 3.3v pin on the 328p. Am just asking about the pin mapping for the 328p or the uno rather than the mini
Thank you

if the mapping is the problem you will be stopped at the running time with an error.
This is more a timing error, where your chip is not at the right OPMODE or could be your gateway settings

Hello,
I am using an Arduino Mega 2560 board with a LoRa Shield having the RFM95W radio module. However I use LMIC to send my data to a Dragino LPS8N gateway.
And when I upload my program to the Arduino board nothing happens and I get the error displayed on the serial monitor:
Arduino\libraries\LMIC-Arduino\src\lmic\radio.c:689

I thought at first it was a pin mapping problem but I still have the same problem.
Help me please.
Here is my test code on arduino:

@Phairou18 if you look at the first warning of the readme of this repo you can see it's no longer maintained and suggest to use MCCI library instead, that is more up to to date and with an 2560 would perfectly fits into.

I would not expect any support from here.

[Phairou18]

@hillard I hadn't noticed I'm new here.
Do you have a link that explains how to use the MCCI library?

[hallard]

A good start is documentation on the according MCCI LMIC repository.
https://github.com/mcci-catena/arduino-lmic

[Phairou18]

OK, thank you @hallard
I'm gonna check it rightnow.
