Thingy:91

[Hoang]

Dear, 

I received THINGY:91 from NordicSemi. I use 10pins cable to connect to nRF9160 DK to program for THINGY:91. 

and, I am using ncs_v1.0.0

I am trying to run asset_tracker application, 

and I am confusing about: 

1. which board should I select? I tried to use    ncs_v1.0.0/zephyr/boards/arm/nrf9160_pca10090

but after programming, the LED on THINGY:91 changed to RED color, and I couldnt connect it from nrfcloud 

I couldn't find pca20035 on ncs_v1.0.0. Do I need to use another version of ncs ?

2. How can I debug the output from THINGY:91

The terminal still shows the output from nRF9160 DK, nothing from THINGY:91

Thanks, 

Mvh

Dear Bjørn Kvaale

I found nrf9160_pca20035 then I tried to program asset_tracker to THINGY:91, pressed the button (long press) then connected to nrfcloud and put the THINGY:91 outside. 

"Waiting for GPS Data...."

How to activate GPS? Do I need to use the external GPS antenna? 

Thanks

Hi MJD093 Can you help?

[Hoang]

I just got a fix from gps. It took for a long time. I will try with asset_tracker from joakim. 

[MJD093]

How long is a long time? What was the tracking stats like up to the GPS fix, were you finding satellites previously but no fix or did you only start finding satellites just now?

[MJD093]

Bjørn Kvaale I can't seem to find any information on the Thingy:91, what kind of GPS circuit is deployed on the modules? Is it a correctly matched antenna circuit or does it suffer from pre-v0.8.2 antenna matching issues?

Woh... ok that's not good. So from that log, the device tried to get a GPS lock, timed out after 360 seconds then encountered a socket error when I assume the 30 second GPS sleep timer expired. So is there an issue in the code for restarting the modem into GPS mode? I know from my own application that having a GPS timeout loop should work as I have one set to 3mins on and 5mins off if no first fix.

[Hoang]

Bjørn Kvaale , do I need to use the external GPS antenna for THINGY:91 ? 

[Bjørn Kvaale]

Nope, no external GPS antenna is needed. I am taking a look at this case & will get back to you soon. Good to hear at least that you did not get the nrf cloud 111 error, which is related to deleted certificates.

[Bjørn Kvaale]

It seems this issue has been resolved by removing this AT command: 

AT\%XMAGPIO=1,0,0,1,1,1574,1577

[MJD093]

Bjorn Kadding or removing? From the code snippet that was linked in the verified answer, wouldn’t that not use the MAGPIO settings if the board was anything other than PCA10090?
