WaveShare Sensor - Fails to register, MIC of join-request is invalid

[Duncan]

I’m in the process of building a custom device using the WaveShare PicoHAT:

Pico-LoRa-SX1262-868M - Waveshare Wiki

The example code requires three values:-

• DeviceEUI using LSB value from Chirpstack
• AppEUI/JoinEUI all zeros
• AppKey using MSB value from Chirpstack

The code appears to correct as I’m now seeing the WaveShare device contacting ChirpStack and JoinRequest being displayed by both the Gateway & the Device but the device never joins as an Error is being generated, Code: UPLINK_MIC.

• description:“MIC of join-request is invalid, make sure keys are correct”
• • deduplication_id:“d7f8ed0e-aa4c-4fe0-932b-c8fb3b46f5a9”

Based on my research this indicates that there’s a problem with my keys, is there anything that I can do to troubleshoot this?

Can this error be caused by the device profile, the one I’ve created is inline with the WaveShare documents. I also have other commercial devices that have connected and are working as planned.

Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestion that will help me resolve this issue.

I had re-flashing firmware in sensor fix same issue. This was with Laird RG191 gateway and qty 4 RS191 pucks I was trying to activate. Only 2 of 4 had this issue and this one action (using Laird iphone app) resulted in pucks joining after they rebooted with same firmare. No idea what that entails for your sensor.
