Created SPI not working

[k8zxc]

I've tested the LoRaWANTestOTAA.ino in this repo. Also, I created a new SPI following this tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/using-atsamd21-sercom-to-add-more-spi-i2c-serial-ports/creating-a-new-spi. I am absolutely a beginner and need a help. Here's my code.

• This example sends a valid LoRaWAN packet with payload "Hello,

• This uses ABP (Activation-by-personalisation), where a DevAddr and
• Session keys are preconfigured (unlike OTAA, where a DevEUI and
• application key is configured, while the DevAddr and session keys are
• assigned/generated in the over-the-air-activation procedure).
• Note: LoRaWAN per sub-band duty-cycle limitation is enforced (1% in
• g1, 0.1% in g2), but not the TTN fair usage policy (which is probably
• violated by this sketch when left running for longer)!
• To use this sketch, first register your application and device with
• the things network, to set or generate a DevAddr, NwkSKey and
• AppSKey. Each device should have their own unique values for these
• fields.
• Do not forget to define the radio type correctly in config.h.

What hardware are you trying to use this code on? The use of the alternative SPI definition is due to the fact that I built a custom board that did not have the primary SPI pins available, as defined by the Arduino Zero core. You should not need an alternative SPI SERCOM.

[k8zxc]

The schematic of our development board is attached below.

We burned the Arduino Zero bootloader into it. The default SPI pins of zero were:

PA12 D22 / MISO SERCOM2.0 SERCOM4.0 PB10 D23 / MOSI SERCOM4.2 PB11 D24 / SCK SERCOM4.3

and we leave them unconnected. In the schematic, we used the pins 11, 12, and 13 of the Arduino for SPI knowing that muxing of SERCOM is possible.

[nootropicdesign]

Which lmic library are you using? I created a fork that uses a different definition of SPI so that it works with the pins I used: https://github.com/nootropicdesign/arduino-lmic

Why did you comment out the #include of Arduino.h?

I do not know if my definitions of the SPI interface will work with the chip you are using. I used the SAMD21E, not the G.

Thank you so much, Sir.
