Getting started with the Thingy:91

Trying to get started with the Thingy:91

- It's connecting to NRF Cloud and reporting data.

Problems:

1. Keeps blinking blue and does not get a GPS lock. I did leave it near the window. I did hold down the button for more than 10 seconds as suggested in another post, to turn on the GPS. I'm in Vancouver, Canada and using the iBasis SIM. How would I find out if this is because my provider does not support power saving mode?

2. Is the LTE Link monitor supposed to work over USB? I connected it via USB but I get "No devices available". I did uncheck auto device port filter.

I don't have a NRF9160 DK.

Thanks!

NRF Connect /LTE Monitor is working in Linux. Looks like I am on the Rogers network and using the ibasis.iot APN.

Progress!

Hi.

Have you gotten a reply from the network operator?

If not, you can view the log from the Thingy in the Link Monitor (or another serial terminal). If it prints any satellite data (even just reports that it does not see any satellites), it has successfully entered PSM. If on the other side, it does not print anything before the timeout, and it prints a message saying that it tries again, it has not been able to enter PSM.

Best regards,

Didrik
