Platformio example USB Battery data transfer #90

Closed 4gino closed 3 years ago

4gino commented 3 years ago

I'm using the platformio example code, but I' m getting some strange results. When USB Is connected and serial monitor open Data transmission goes well, modem on , signal quality good, data sent, modem off. When I disconnect the USB and power the board with a battery (new and charged to 4.2v) data Is not sent. Probably the signal quality Is worse, or something else but i cannot see It with the serial monitor, because if I connect the USB everything will go well again. Anyone else had the same issue? The Sim7000 receive different type of Power from USB or from battery? Thanks

Yeah, if you check the readme page, there are some issues with the same pins being used for more than one thing at a time. So, you have to make sure to check which pins are being used depending on the connected power source...

Solved, was software related. When used with USB data sent for battery status Is 0. When battery powered the number Is different from 0 and there was a bad code in my new lines. The point Is that i could use serial monitor connecting just tx rx gnd pins, so the battery was the power source, and serial monitor gave me the correct debug.
