UPDATE: Apologies. I see now in the system log within the web-interface that the correct pin is being set, however the footer of the web-interface still states “could not read gateway_id”. If anyone could help me troubleshoot I’d be very thankful.
Hello!
I’ve been trying to get up and running with the Raspberry PI Waveshare SX1302 Gateway HAT, but I cannot seem to get connection to the gateway at all after configuring through the web interface in Chirpstack Gateway OS.
My hunch is that it may be due to the reset pin being incorrectly configured, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to overwrite this, even though the changelog mentions that this feature was added.
My Gateway HAT Model: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/SX1302_LoRaWAN_Gateway_HAT
In the documentation I linked to above it states that pin 23 is the reset pin, however when I run the chirpstack-concentratord-sx1302 binary on the raspberry pi (Gateway OS), I get the following output:

I’m not sure whether this relates to the problem, but any help would be greatly appreciated. This is what the config looks like in /etc/config/chirpstack-concentratord.
