Thank you for your great efforts. Here is some issue with the code, as it is incompatible with the things stack Console V3 and the device shows "Last seen info unavailable".

[terrillmoore]

Well.. It is working for me on console V3. So I'll need more info about what you're doing. You added the wire from DIO1 to D6, right?

[Junaid-Qadir-UniGe]

Yes of course I have added a wire between DIO1 to D6. I have already tried this code with Console V2 that worked perfectly.
I am gonna connect my Adafruit feather m0 Lora node to console v3 and it shows "Last seen info unavailable".

The parameters that I have used are attached below.

Sorry you're having trouble. Did you delete the v2 registration? I found that V2 won over V3 most of the time if the same DevEUI/AppEUI/AppKey were present both places. Your screenshot supports that suspicion; it shows that V3 never has received a join request. So either the credentials are incorrect in the v3 registration, or the registration with v2 is taking precedence.

I always change the AppEUI when registering with V3 (since the AppEUI is less meaningful in V3 for simple devices). Since this works perfectly with V3 (as did V4.0), a more detailed trouble report is needed in order to help determine what you're doing differently.

Oh, and by the way: if you're using the LMIC, please don't enable class C, as it's not present in the code. Class B is known to have bugs, and so is a good idea also to have turned off. However, this has no bearing on join problems, which is what you're seeing.

Dear Maintainer,

Thank you so much for your kind support. I think I should try the latest version of this code, the one I have downloaded is pretty older (More than 5 months ago). Also, this time I will try with the OTAA method, the former try was with ABP. If the problem still persists, I would kindly request further assistance from your side.

Responses to your concerns.

1. Yes I have deleted the V2 registration
2. I used the new keys
3. The method was ABP so I guess there is no need for a join request
4. Alright, will uncheck Class C this time

Lastly, I sincerely appreciate your great efforts. You still have maintained the library this is so kind of you.
