Not getting Sensor Readings in Pysense with FiPy Module

[Archana Kadam]

Hello Team,

We have got pysense and fipy module & we are the new to it, so as per the documentation we have updated the firmware for both pysense as well as for the fipy & started programming to read the sensors. We successfully got the values for Ambient light sensor using the code provided in your documentation, but we are unable to read the other sensors,

1. Could you please share us the code to how to read other sensors and store the readings in csv file in fipy device memory using Pysense expansion board.
2. How to access the inbuilt file structure of FiPy.
3. FiPy serial connection with RaspberryPi Compute Module.

Help we be appreciated.
Thank You

Normal LTE no.. unless you use a WiFi-LTE router (MiFi) or external LTE modem.

@jmarcelino
Is there any solution to connect LTE,Wifi and LoRa normally of fipy board.

[jmarcelino]

@archana-kadam
It's not possible to use regular LTE on the FiPy, it's an LTE-M modem. You need to have LTE-M or NB-IoT from the operator.

Hello,
As u say there is no live Cat M1 network in India. Then how we can use normal LTE from fipy board. Please help us as soon as possible your help will be appreciable.

Thank You

@jmarcelino
As u say there is no live Cat M1 network in India. Means we cannot use built LTE option available in fipy board from India. So what is other option to use the LTE from India.
Thank you

@archana-kadam

There is no live Cat M1 network in India. Are you working on a closed trial with a mobile operator? If so we'll need more details (carrier name, frequency, APN) to support it.

@jmarcelino
We are using INDIA for Cat M1

Thank you

[jmarcelino]

@archana-kadam
Which operator are you using and which country for Cat M1?

Also can you please split your questions into separate topics (LoRa nano-gateways issues, LTE issues, sensor reading issues,..) , it's becoming impossible to understand what is working or not for you.

For example is the post below about using the LTE connection or WiFi?

If you can ask these questions on separate topics it would be easier for us to understand and help you. Thanks.

Hello,

We are trying to send data from fipy to sever using urequests, but getting an error. We are running code in atom.

import urequests
response = urequests.get("http://localhost/server.php?data="+msg)
response.close()

Error Message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 12, in <module>
ImportError: no module named 'urequests'

@jmarcelino
Cat M1 we are using

[jmarcelino]

@archana-kadam

The FiPy only supports Cat M1 and NB-IoT networks. Which one are you using?

I have inserted a sim in a fipy board, now we are not able to connect to the internet of the inserted sim. Please explain the procedure to connect to inserted sim

Thank you

Have you had a look at my forum thread?
https://forum.pycom.io/topic/2908/creating-a-json-structure-for-pysense/9

This has me reading all PySense values, packing them into a bytearray for LoRa transmission and the unpacking them at the other end with some simple JavaScript on a Node-red environment.

@administrators
Which type of LoRa module your are using in pycom board. Can you please share us the schematic of Fipy development module.

Thank you

Please update to soon. Your help will be appreciable.

We tried the gateway code and node code provided in the documentation, we connected one gateway and one node. The communication between two boards has been created but we are enable to fetch the device number,package etc. So please update for this solution.

Thank you

@jcaron
I am attaching the file of gateway and node code please go through the file and please check update me as soon as possible. Your help will be appreciable.1_1522300805718_Node.py 0_1522300805717_Gateway.py

[jcaron]

@archana-kadam Please share the actual code you are using, no sense trying to guess what you have in your code. In the gateway code as posted in the docs, I don't think it's possible to get that error on that line with the test just before it...

Please make sure your code is properly formatted when you post it (add ``` on a line before and after the code).
