OOTA vs. ABP #4

Closed stefanheinrichsen closed 3 years ago

stefanheinrichsen commented 3 years ago

Just wanted to ask if there is any special reason for using ABP and not OOTA as activation method?

bitconnector commented 3 years ago

In order to use OOTA you have to be in a location with a good connection to ttn while startup. Thats mainly the rason for using ABP. Most of the mapping devices I've seen so far are using it, because the messages are getting through immediately.

I know about the security issues bundled with ABP and disabeling the frame counter check.

If you think it would be good to have the OOTA option I could add it to the program :)

Yes, I really think it would be beneficial. Also it will allow a more "out-of-the-box" usage of the mapper without diving into the last corner of the TTN v3 console.

If you add this activation it would be perfect. Else I will try to provide a patch during the next 1-2 weeks.

I've added OTAA now(#7). It even seems to even work better, because with ABP the console drops some packages I also updated the lmic library
