Problem adding Thingy:91 in the nRF Cloud

T1mS_

Hello,

I try to add a Thingy:91 to the nRF Cloud after I received it today. The sim card got's activated without a problem. When I try to key in my IMEI and the Pin which is printed on the label I receive this error: "There was an error adding your device. It wasn't found. Is it connected?"

How to solve this and add the device to my account?

    Hi! 


    Can you confirm that the Thingy:91 is on and the LED is blue and blinking.

    Best regards,

    Heidi

    Hi Heidi, 

    I think it is more like a blue-withe breathing in a two seconds on and around 5 seconds off interval.

    Ok, got it with the LED.

    I can not switch between the COM ports. I only can select the device. (See picture)

    To get serial output the COM17 is the correct one.

    Beside what is shown in the picture, nothing happens, no matter how often I repeat it...

    Try unchecking this selection in the bottom right corner.

    ok.

    All commands still time out.

    But doesn't it makes sense, because the modem is not turned on so I can not get a response on my requests? (top right corner - can't make it to turn on...)

    I got the 'timed out' error a few times too and restarting my computer fixed the issue. 

    In addition, the modem has to be off to set the system mode, so run AT+CFUN=4 first. Sorry, I should have clarified that earlier.

    Still the same after rebooting my pc.

    IS there a way to reset the modem completely?

    I also tried a SODAQ (https://shop.sodaq.com/sodaq-sara-sff-r412m.html) board today with LTE-M and NB-IoT capabilities. I was able to connect to the telekom network from exact the same spot like I'm trying to connect the thingy:91...

  • 0 in reply to T1mS_

    There a few ways to reset the modem. However, the best way is just power cycling the Thingy:91, switching it off and on while trying to connect.

    I will reset my notebook today and check if anything will change after that.

    I'm trying to find out if thingy:91 would be a suitable solution for our startup for the iot solution. At the moment I'm having a hard time with it, because the startup was very tough or actually not possible at all. Do you have any more ideas on how we can reach a satisfactory point for both of us?

    Hi Heidi,

    so after a reset of my notebook it works better, but not perfect yet.

    I tried again these commands. This is the result:

    AT+CFUN=4 works

    AT%XSYSTEMMODE = 0,1,1,0 still fails

    but AT%XEPCO=0 works also.

    I would actually suggest the nRF9160 Development Kit for developers to use in the development of their applications. It has an on-board debugger and an SDK with numerous examples.
