MKRIoTCarrier not Powering using Battery

[fastsalad]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use the MKR Wan 1310 together with MKRIoTCarrier. First of all, the IoTCarrier will not run on Battery Power (Yes the cable is connected) Second, i can't seem to get the MKRWan Library to work even just the include (#include <Arduino_MRKIoTCarrier.h>) throws Error messages:

Bibliothek Arduino_MKRIoTCarrier wurde als vorkompiliert angegeben:

   pinMode(AREF_PIN,INPUT_PULLUP);

exit status 1

Compilation error: exit status 1

I would be very thankful if someone could help me out here . Thanks!

Depending on the version of the carrier you have, try different versions of the "Arduino_MKRIoTCarrier" library from version 1.0.2 upwards.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. I have since fixed the issue myself. For anyone stumbling about this post: The issue was, that the Definitions in the library are only written for The MKR Wi-Fi (at least that's what I understood) Anyway just do whats listed here: MKR IOT Carrier + MKRWAN 1310 and you are good to go.

But there is still the issue, that the carrier will not run on battery power. As I have said, i plugged the cable in but it remains off. over cable it works fine.
