@ajb2k3 Thank you. After fully erasing the firmware I have executed again all the steps in the AWS getting started section. Again, same error about connection issue. The steps about Private key, Public key and region are not mentioned in the manual for Cloud connected Blinky.
I should point out to that I was able te recreate the getting started example and are able to connect my rainmaker app on my iPhone with the AWS module. So that is at least a small step. I hope anyone can chip in.

Dear all.
I believe I have follow all the steps as described in : https://edukit.workshop.aws/en/blinky-hello-world/blinking-the-leds.html Unfortunately the blink app is not able to connect to the AWS IoT Core. Please check the table of all the steps I have done. Have I missed something? Did I make a mistake somewhere? Help is appreciated. Regards

Before you set the configuration, you will first need to retrieve your AWS IoT endpoint. aws iot describe-endpoint --endpoint-type iot:Data-ATS
Check
Now, you’ll go into the KConfig menu to configure the required symbols, including Wi-Fi and AWS IoT endpoint address. Start by switching to the Blink-Hello-World directory of the repository in the PIO terminal window and enter pio run --environment core2foraws --target menuconfig

Component config –> Amazon Web Services IoT Platform and open AWS IoT Endpoint Hostname to set the string

Then select AWS IoT EduKit Configuration from the menu. Set your WiFi SSID and WiFi Password with your Wi-FI credentials Check
To build the firmware, paste in the command below (it will take several minutes): pio run --environment core2foraws
Check
With the build successful, it’s time to upload the compiled firmware to the connected device over USB by running the command pio run --environment core2foraws --target upload
Check
Lastly, monitor the serial output from the device on your host machine via: pio run --environment core2foraws --target monitor
Check

@felmue Yes thank you. I never realised that in one of my folder names I had used a white space (maybe I really need reading glasses). Now I am struggling to get my AWS blink setup and running. Will come back later with a detailed description of my challenge ;-)

So my first steps in setting up a project with M5Stack AWS on my Mac OSX Big Sur (11.6). Installation of visual studio seems okay. When compiling the AWS IoT EduKit Getting Started PlatformIO Configuration File I get this error message :
Error: Detected a whitespace character in project paths.
Been already googling around. Not sure about the solution. I have read that I need to change the director path in a ini file. But then I am lost. Any help? Thanks

@felmue Thank you for your response. I also came to the conclusion that this device is not suitable for LoRa PoP applications. That is really a pity. This one is suitable for LoRa PoP (I got that one working) : M5 LORA-MODULE-868MHZ. https://shop.m5stack.com/products/lora-module-868mhz?_pos=2&_sid=e21d4a90e&_ss=r

Hello,
Has anyone ever got tis device working for point to point communication between two of these devices. I have two atoms, attached to each such a device, I am able to communicate with the device through Serial2 port. But when sending a simpel string I continuously get the response : CME ERROR: 1. If I check the documentation (ASR650X AT Command Introduction), I see that the last line of the explanation of the DTRX command mentioned that "It is need to first join into the network, then send data later.". But in don't want to join any gateway? Can anyone help? Thanks

@m5stack Thank you, that seems like a more structured example. I wint give up to get it working. We have three options : 1] I just dont understand, 2] I just dont understand, 3] I am using the wrong settings. Ha Ha Ha

Thanks you, I have used these examples for the M5Stack LoRa Module.
However, the ASR6501 is a different chipset, so these AT commands won't work. I really hope the M5Stack picks op there software department for providing a good set of examples. Regards

Dear all, I am trying to use this device for point to point LoRa communication. I am able to communicatie through serial2 and using AT commands. I have the AT command list. Could anyone be of any help for using this device for sending and receiving data. I dont mean the complex WLAN example that is given by M5Stack, just simple send and receive.
Help is appreciated in this. Regards from The Netherlands

How to change the color of a button after initialisation.
For example : Button Pattern_8(0, 0, 0, 0, false, "Pattern_8", off_clrs, on_clrs, MC_DATUM); //TR_DATUM);
Pattern_8.off.bg=BLUE;
But the instruction gives a compilation error. Any idea? Thanks
