Sending sensor data from Fipy to a cloud server

[dulcegtzg]

Hi everyone, I need to send some data from a fipy to a database in Mongo DB, I’m planning on using the LTE module for this and i read that you need to use usocket, have you ever worked with this? Have any of you have an example that I can look up to?

You could try

def http_get(url):
    print("get(", url, ")")
    _, _, host, path = url.split('/', 3)
    print("host", host)
    print("path", path)
    addr = socket.getaddrinfo(host, 80)[0][-1]
    print("addr", addr)
    s = socket.socket()
    print("connect")
    s.connect(addr)
    print("send")
    s.send(bytes('GET /%s HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: %s\r\n\r\n' % (path, host), 'utf8'))

Note that the LTE module doesn't always play nice, to the extent that some have bypassed it for cellular comms https://forum.pycom.io/topic/6202/method-to-take-control-of-cell-modem/22
