Arduino IDE library issue

Hey all,

I put together a page on how to handle library issues on Arduino: Troubleshooting Arduino IDE

Hey all, earlier today I released some important changes to our IoT infrastructure. You can now map location information of your devices using the Cayenne payload GPS field. Checkout the updated FROST - Tutorial to learn about the latest changes to the mapping document. Moreover, there are some new error messages that make it easier to find what's wrong with the mappings. They are described in Testing LoRaWAN connections.
