STM32WL and LoRaWAN Endnode example - resets occuring

MDaub.1
Associate III

‎2025-11-10 12:23 PM

I am new to the NUCLEO WL55JC1 and wanted to experiment with LoRaWAN.

I've followed the YT series on the topic, especially the 3rd part (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KNfrWoa1fw&t=26s). My End node is properly joined and connected to the things network. I am using the 868 MHz band in EU. 

However after several successful transmits that I can observe on the UART, the device seems to reset after a timeout. What could be the reason?

The proplem occurs after various times, sometimes 400 seconds, sometimes 300 and without any apparent reason. The device is currently connected to a notebook via USB, so has a stable power supply.

Only 2 green LEDs are constantly lit, no red LED is lit.

In general the whole setup seems to be somewhat unstable. During the day I had the device powered by a USB powerbank and while it eventually joined the network I had all kinds of interruptions and timeout errors that could be seen on The Things network console WebUI. Sometimes everything worked for 30min and then it stopped completely and I didn´t receive any new messages until I powercycled the board. During all the time the red LED was flashing every couple of seconds. 

Later on I went for a walk outdoors and carried the board with me. I checked that the next gateway node is about 500m away from my position but the whole time I was outside not a single message was transmitted to TTN and the board did not even join the network apparently (Red LED was again flashing).

What could be the reason?
