Expand the NB-IoT Message (solved)

NB-IoT
1

Hello,

In the example the message is 14 bytes long.
byte message[14];
When you need more data to send over the network, is it possible to expand this message?
if you can, how?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Just change the number ‘14’ into a larger value :slight_smile: . But be aware of:

  • sufficient RAM memory in your microcontroller
  • NB-IOT max message size is 512 bytes.

Just to add some info:

The Sodaq arduino code sends a 14 Byte message (which can be expanded to a longer one, as explained. This 14 byte data is send eventually by the modem by executing the following command:
AT+NMGS=14,“081310B803F2004FAB38000A87A9”

In this message the 14 byte are written as hexadecimal ASCII (081310B803F2004FAB38000A87A9) chars, two for each byte. To make this more complicated the message is Base64 encoded by the CDP in the JSON message send to the north app. You have to decode this.

I hope this explains things a bit,
