Lopy + PyTrack + Gravity UART GSM/GPRS module



  • Hi everyone,

    I am just starting my PyCom journey and I am yet facing some little problems.

    I want to connect an A6 GSM/GPRS module (https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Gravity:UART_A6_GSM%26_GPRS_Module_SKU:_TEL0113) to my LoPy board via UART.
    The LoPy board is mounted on a Pytrack expansion board and here is my connection :

    The Lopy is powered by an USB port of my laptop's dock plugged in PyTrack USB.

    My code is :

    from machine import UART
    import binascii
    import utime
    
    def update_serial1():
        print("Waiting for response ...")
        utime.sleep(2)
        while serial1.any():
            print("Data read : <{}>".format(binascii.hexlify(serial1.readall())))
    
    def send_and_wait(what):
        print("Sending <{}> ...".format(what))
        nb_sent = serial1.write(what + "\r\n")
        print("Sent : {}".format(nb_sent))
        update_serial1()
    
    def loop():
        send_and_wait("AT")
        send_and_wait("ATOI")
        send_and_wait("AT+CSQ")
    
    serial1 = UART(1)
    serial1.init(baudrate=9600, bits=8, parity=None, stop=1, timeout_chars=2, pins=('P10','P11'))
    
    loop()
    

    But when I launch my AT commands I only receive 'ff' bytes as you can see in the command line extract here:

    Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong ? What am I missing ?

    Many thanks for your attention ! :-)
