Hi,

Could you provide some useful example about how to use this NB IOT scanner tool? Do you have some guideline/documentation about it?

Thanks.

Yeah, I really should :) I have a branch for UDP messaging support via Command line that I should merge too.

But if you install it and run nbiot --help you should get the click command instructions on how to use the CLI.

  This is a NB IoT Scanner software built by Palmlund Wahlgren Innovative
  Technology AB in Sweden for use in finding problems and evaluating network
  coverage in smart meter rollouts.

Options:
  -p, --port TEXT                 Register the serial port to use
  --roaming / --home-network      Indicate if the MNO is using home network or
                                  roaming status
  --mno TEXT                      ID of MNO (Mobile Network Operator) ex.

  stats

The project assumes that you have a Ublox NB-IoT module. There is support for SARA-N2 and SARA-R4. But I'm thinking about dropping SARA-R4. It does not give you as much statistics. but you can use it with LTE-M.

I use a Sodaq board with a SARA-N211: https://shop.sodaq.com/sodaq-sara-aff-n211.html You just need to load in a forwarding program in the Arduino chip.

Hi,

Thank you for your response. I am using Sodaq NBIOT IoT shield with Leonardo board on port 14 but am not able make connection. See second issue I have posted. I have passthrough sketch and it works with putty serial.

drgagi commented 4 years ago

It is UBLOX N211 module on the board.

I added a separate issue for docs so closing this one.
