Control SIM7080G CAT-M/NB-IoT Unit from ESP32-DevKitC-32E - esp32

We want to control SIM7080G CAT-M/NB-IoT Unit from ESP32-DevKitC-32E.

We created a project with PlatformIO and installed TinyGSM, EspSoftwareSerial and ArduinoHttpClient.
We wired #16 to CAT-M's TXD and #17 to CAT-M's RXD and modified the code as follows.
- #ifndef __AVR_ATmega328P__
- #define SerialAT Serial1
-
- // or Software Serial on Uno, Nano
- #else
- #include <SoftwareSerial.h>
- SoftwareSerial SerialAT(2, 3); // RX, TX
- #endif
+ #include <SoftwareSerial.h>
+ SoftwareSerial SerialAT(16, 17); // RX, TX
We modified the defines as follows.
- #define TINY_GSM_MODEM_SIM800
+ // #define TINY_GSM_MODEM_SIM800
- // #define TINY_GSM_MODEM_SIM7080
+ #define TINY_GSM_MODEM_SIM7080
We have edited the following information to match the SIM inserted in our CAT-M.
- const char apn[] = "YourAPN";
- const char gprsUser[] = "";
- const char gprsPass[] = "";
+ const char apn[] = "OurAPN";
+ const char gprsUser[] = "OurUser";
+ const char gprsPass[] = "OurPass";
However, it seemed to be failing to connect only to keep logging Unhandled as follows.
[2062] Modem responded at rate 115200
Initializing modem...
[18066] ### Unhandled: +CPIN: N E#DY

We tried deleting the following sections, but nothing changed
- SerialMon.println("Initializing modem...");
- modem.restart();
- // modem.init();
- String modemInfo = modem.getModemInfo();
- SerialMon.print("Modem Info: ");
- SerialMon.println(modemInfo);
We believe that something must be initialized in the following areas.
// !!!!!!!!!!!
// Set your reset, enable, power pins here
// !!!!!!!!!!!
The following document mentions PWRKEY, but the SIM7080G CAT-M/NB-IoT Unit does not have that terminal.

We are not that familiar with one-board microcomputers or single-board computers. What can we do to communicate via CAT-M?

We rewired and reprogrammed them and they worked as expected. We could not figure out the cause, but they were successfully resolved. Thank you.

How to send AT commands to ESP32 LilyGo-T-Call-SIM800?

I've been working with a LilyGo-TCall-SIM800 module for several days, trying to get out of a dead end.
I have tried an example from "random nerd tutorials" which works correctly. The module connects to the internet and can send data to the cloud.
I have the problem to send AT commands to the SIM800L chip integrated in the module. I can't get the chip to react back.
I have tried using Serial1 and Serial2. I have also tried configuring the RX and TX transmission pins, and I have tried with different baudrates. Always with negative results... when sending the "AT\r" command to the SIM800L, it should return "OK". But it never does.
I have simplified the code as much as possible to minimize errors:
/*
Name: TestAT.ino
Created: 08/12/2022 23:15:28
Author: user
*/
// Set serial for debug console (to the Serial Monitor, speed 115200)
#define SerialMon Serial
// Comunications between ESP32 and SIM800L
#define SerialAT Serial1
//Comunications between ESP32 ans SIM800L go thought TX and RX pins on Serial1 Port
#define MODEM_RX1 16
#define MODEM_TX1 17
void setup() {
// Set console baud rate
SerialMon.begin(115200);
delay(1000);
//Set SerialAT baud rate
SerialAT.begin(38400, SERIAL_8N1, MODEM_RX1, MODEM_TX1);
//Set timeLimit for SerialAT reads
SerialAT.setTimeout(2000);
}
void loop() {
String returned = "";
char ATcommand[] = { 'A','T','\r' };
SerialAT.print(ATcommand);
delay(1000);
returned = SerialAT.readString();
SerialMon.print(millis());
SerialMon.print(" - ");
SerialMon.print(ATcommand);
SerialMon.print(" - SerialAT returned:");
SerialMon.println(returned);
}
Anybody can help me out on this? Any idea or sugestion?
Thanks in advance

dsPIC33 Flash Erase broken

I am having a lot of trouble when it comes to flash erasing on the dsPIC33EP64GP503 and I am hoping someone on here will be able help.
I am wanting to store a data struct in the flash program memory of the device. I am having trouble when it comes to erasing the flash though. I need to erase it and re-write it when the data changes.
I am padding the rest of the page with 0s so it can be safely erased.
I can write to the same memory location of the struct. When doing a flash write onto the start of the struct, the byStructValid turns into 0x11 (I know this is all very bad, because it is writing double word. But I am just trying to get the flash operations working first), however when I do an erase nothing happens. Is someone able to figure out what I am doing wrong?
I initialised the struct with 0xFF's and tried to perform a flash write. This was successful as the CAN message I received showed the data changed from 0xFF to 0x11.
I then tried to do a flash erase, but nothing happened. The device just carried on as normal. I don't have access to debug so it is hard to fully understand what is going on during this time.
I have tried moving the struct location around, so that it is on an 'even' page boundary (as specified in the datasheet) but this hasn't worked either.
I have also tried using an assembly version of the erase function, provided by the datasheet, this also doesn't work. The device just carries on as though there was no command for flash erase.
Below are some snippets of code that I have been using.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Note: I am unable to use the debugger. I use CAN messages to periodically send ‘debug’ messages, which contain data that is read from the flash location. This is so I can see if the write/erases are working.

Your "dsPIC33 Flash Erase broken" issue is one of not understanding just how badly the Run Time Flash Programming (RTFP) method is described in the Microchip dsPIC33EP64GP503 data sheet and family reference manuals.
This post will not explain how any of this works. It does work but is really hard to comprehend.
What will be hard for you is that a program flash word can only be written one time after an erase. Writing to the same program flash word a second time will corrupt it and the next time it is read an ECC trap error will assert.
Attached is example code that allocates a 1024 instruction word page at address 0x6000. Declares a structure at the start of that page that is 2 instruction words in size. The code then erases that page then writes different data to the first 2 instruction words in that page.

Saving an image from ESP32-CAM to SD Card

After uploading the code, i opened the Serial Monitor at a baud rate of 115200, then pressed the ESP32-CAM reset button to turn on ESP32CAM, i got an error like the following.

This code works for me. I would suggest that you use a different memory card and if it still doesn't work then erase the flash memory of ESP32 cam.

How to write data to InfluxDB with ESP8266 / NodeMCU over Internet & HTTPS?

I want to securely send data to my InfluxDB over the Internet using a NodeMCU MCU and a self signed cert.
I found this library that seems to accomplish exactly this but get compile errors, more below -> https://medium.com/#teebr/iot-with-an-esp32-influxdb-and-grafana-54abc9575fb2
This library seems to only use HTTP -> Am i mistaken?

Using the example from the 1st library above from TEEBR, i get this error compiling - Any suggestions on how to fix? Will this run on my NodeMCU?

programming PIC32MX250F128B with Pickit3

I am successfully programming PIC32MX250F128B using Pickit3. I have written a code where, when I press a I am getting 100 data from vibration sensor. Now if I want to get another 100 data, either I have to disconnect and then reconnect the 10k ohm pull up resistor connected to MCLR pin or have to run the program again.

Thanks for your advices.
You do not need to reset the Pickit. If anything, that might be the least efficient way to do it (arguably).
Rather try something like this. Please note this is high level. You will need to make it work yourself.
void(main){
// Setup your things here
while(1){ // Your infinite loop
// Check if you received 'a' here
if (received_a == 1){ // You received a 'a'
send_data(); // Send your data
}
}
}
Without providing actual code you have written we will not be able to help you.
You use while(1) loops everywhere, and if you don't use a break; or return command you stay in that loop forever.
I think you don't need while(1) loops in the functions except in main(). Remove these and it should work.
Try drawing out your program flow in a flow chart, it should clear things up. Also consider using a state machine using switch/case. It makes it a lot clearer where you are in the code and it's easier to debug. Also, it's probably even better to use interrupts for adc and the serial port. You free up the pic to do other stuff while peripherals are doing stuff that takes time.
