Add GSM data functionality to the library

working HTTP requests. TODO: Generalizing POST request for headers remains.

Hmm, this isn't showing the latest changes in master, can you update it?

[beyondszine]

@skorokithakis Umm, I would very much like to do it but I am just not clear how to do that!
I mean how do I merge changes from your Master to my branch ? What I did is: sync'd my repo with yours. Now I have all the changes which are in your repo in my local and global repo. Now How to go further and merge changes from my master to my branch A6httplib?

[skorokithakis]

It's odd, GitHub should do this automatically, but it doesn't. Try switching to your branch and doing git merge master, and then pushing the result. Maybe that will fix it.

[beyondszine]

@skorokithakis thanks! it worked. Github is hard man!! Got to learn a lot. Lol

[skorokithakis]

Tell me about it! That's why I prefer gitlab.

[skorokithakis]

Damn, I forgot about this! Please leave a comment if I haven't reviewed it by Monday!

what d change required for use of hardware serial inplace of software serial in a6lib.h and a6lib.cpp comes in a6lib.h---->#include "SoftwareSerial.h" ; and SoftwareSerial1 *A6conn; a6lib.cpp --->#include
and A6lib::A6lib() {

ifdef ESP8266

A6conn = new SoftwareSerial(receivePin, transmitPin, false, 1024);

else

A6conn = new SoftwareSerial(receivePin, transmitPin, false);

endif

A6conn->setTimeout(100);

}

I still do not understand at all, thank you for your prompt response. But I do not know if I'm on the right page, how can I use the A6 module as a WiFi access point using the SIM data, and the connections.

I have been working with Arduino and regularly in codes, comes the connection mode of the pins, if you could help me with that I would appreciate it.

@skorokithakis is this merged?

[SunboX]

What's the current state of this PR? Is it currently working? What's missing?

[skorokithakis]

Good question, it's such a large PR that I'm stalled in reviewing it (and I haven't touched my A6 in ages). If someone would like to refactor it to remove unnecessary elements and test it, please go ahead, it would be very helpful.

[SunboX]

Ok, I just ordered a A6. Let's see if I get some time to try this out. Thanks for your work! This is really great to play with and show to kids. 😏

[skorokithakis]

No problem, it really is great!

[beyondszine]

Hey all, yeah it was working the last time I used it. I updated it at my repo. @skorokithakis helped me a lot sorting things out, after that even I cudn't push it much to refactor.

I just came across two other libraries/sample code. I will post the links here, for anyone who's interested:
