FiPy not connecting to MQTT with LTE CatM1



  • Hello,

    I am having trouble getting the FiPy to send messages via LTE Cat-M1. I have update the sequans, and the latest firmware for the FiPy.

    According to lte.isattached and lte.isconnected everything is True.

    When connecting by Wifi the MQTT message send no problems.
    I have checked to make sure I have data on the SIM.

    The code I have eventually returns:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "main.py", line 42, in <module>
    File "mqtt.py", line 84, in connect
    IndexError: bytes index out of range
    

    My mqtt.py code is from the pycom github unchanged.
    My main.py is:

    import machine
    import network
    import os
    import time
    import socket
    import ssl
    import pycom
    from network import LTE
    from mqtt import MQTTClient
    
    def sub_cb(topic, msg):
        print(msg)
    # setup as a station
    lte = LTE()
    print("Line 15")
    lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CFUN=0')
    lte.send_at_cmd('AT!="clearscanconfig"')
    lte.send_at_cmd('AT!="addscanfreq band=28 dl-earfcn=9410"')
    lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "telstra.internet"')
    lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CEMODE=0')
    lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CEREG=2')
    lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CFUN=1')
    
    while not lte.isattached():
        print("Attaching...")
        time.sleep(0.1)
    print("Attached")
    
    lte.connect()
    
    while not lte.isconnected():
        print("Connecting...")
        time.sleep(0.1)
        print("Connected!")
    time.sleep(2)
    print(lte.isconnected())
    client = MQTTClient("Demo","io.adafruit.com",user="Dylan", password="xxxx", port=1883)
    print("Line 38")
    print(lte.isconnected())
    client.set_callback(sub_cb)
    print("Line 41")
    client.connect()
    print("Line 43")
    time.sleep(3)
    client.subscribe(topic="Dylan/feeds/mqtt")
    print("Line 46")
    
    while True:
        print("Sending ON")
        client.publish(topic="Dylan/feeds/mqtt", msg="ON")
        print("Line 51")
        time.sleep(1)
        print("Sending OFF")
        client.publish(topic="Dylan/feeds/mqtt", msg="OFF")
        print("Line 55")
        client.check_msg()
    
        time.sleep(1)
    

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Cheers



  • @dylan Hi Dylan. I am using MQTT constantlty over CAT-M1 on Telstra.

    I am only using.

    lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","telstra.internet"')
    lte.send_at_cmd("AT!=\"RRC::addscanfreq band=28 dl-earfcn=9410\"")
    lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CFUN=1')
    

    And have not had to resort to the additional AT commands you are using.
    I have also found the reset the modem if I have lost the connection and am reconnecting without a power cycle.

    lte.send_at_cmd('AT^RESET')
    

    Other than that its working very reliably for me.

    I am not using mqtt but using the AWS client (not to connect to AWS) as I need TLS with certificate support.
    We use Losant. They do support port 1883.

    T



  • @jmarcelino Gave the same error :(



  • @dylan
    Can you try editing mqtt.py and adding

    self.sock.setBlocking(True)

    after line 55
    self.sock = socket.socket()
