Autonomo: 3GBee library or examples?

1

Hey there,

What library should I use to use the 3GBee?

Is there any example/tutorial available?

2

We’re currently in the process to develop a library for it. It’s not finished but we’re getting close.

So, I’ll have to ask for some patience.

3

That’s not a problem, let me know if I can help somehow (even testing).

By the way, was I also supposed to receive a cable like in this photo?

The first release of the Sodaq_3Gbee library is available. I’ve tagged it v0.9.0.
It is still work in progress.

There is one example with the library. I hope it is enough to get you started.

Have a look at:

And there is a zip at:

Hi there. I’ve tried the example in your library, but I’m getting this error:

Sorry for that. I updated / changed some of the interface functions.
I’ll update the example shortly.

There is an update of the library, v1.2.0

It has lots of changes which I have been using for a while now. In other words, it should be stable.
Depending how long it takes for Arduino to update it may become available within 24 hours.
Or else you can go to our SodaqMoja github.

Ok, I’ve had some progress. Here’s where I’m at:

I’m glad you call this progress :smile:
But seriously, it looks like the initialization is not correct. Can you share some code snippets?

Hiya

I’m just using the example test_3Gbee.ino found at http://github.com/SodaqMoja/Sodaq_3Gbee.git
