no can connect to vodafone spain NB-IOT with FIPY
-
@robert-hh I have come to try it for more than 30 minutes.
I also do not understand that it takes longer the first time than others.perhaps, to make it easier you could consider a command to scan to check that coverage first exists (I do not know if that command exists), for later once we are sure there is coverage try to attach and then connect.
for that reason I also ask if there is any mobile application to read if there is coverage.
in principle the technicians of vodafone tell me where I carry out the tests if the coverage exists, but I imagine that it is relative ....
Thank you
-
@lafumat You could try AT+CSQ, which tells you the strength of the signal. That will give results even if the devis is not attached.
-
@robert-hh said in no can connect to vodafone spain NB-IOT with FIPY:
AT + CSQ
i use direly in console:
>>> from network import LTE >>> lte = LTE() >>> lte.attach(band=20, apn="nb.inetd.gdsp") >>> lte.isattached() False >>> lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CSQ') '\r\n+CSQ: 99,99\r\n\r\nOK\r\n' >>>99,99 is a 100% signal?
if true, attchad returns false
-
@lafumat 99,99 means: not known of not detectable.
If the first number is in a range of 0..31, it indicates a signal strength, but everything below 10 is bad. See for instance http://m2msupport.net/m2msupport/atcsq-signal-quality/ -
@lafumat See also: https://www.gsma.com/iot/deployment-map/#ES
I could not find ad hoc, which band is used by Vodafoen Spain -
@lafumat Are you sure it is band 20? You could also try Band 8 or Band 3, although the latter is unlikely, being at a higher frequency. Please check also, that the antenna is properly attached.
-
@robert-hh i change to:
>> from network import LTE >>> lte = LTE() >>> lte.attach(apn="nb.inetd.gdsp") # scan all bands >>> lte.isattached() False >>> lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CSQ') '\r\n+CSQ: 26,99\r\n\r\nOK\r\n'now, in other site (my house), i understand get a 26 and 99.

but, is possible get 26 (excellent) and 99 not detectable?
exist other command for view band is "on"?
you are help full, i'm learn good :)

-
i get more values:
27,99
31,99
26,99
32,99
always i get firts (26-32), but second parameter is always 99 (no signal)
-
@lafumat The first number is the rssi value. And 26 is ecellent. The second number is the bit error rate (ber), whic is not know beforehand. So it means now the device detects is a proper signal.
-

There are a lot of proprietary commands (~400), which all start with AT!="command>". You could try:
lte.send_at_cmd('AT!="RRC:setDbgPerm full"') lte.send_at_cmd('AT!="RRC:showDetectedCell"')The first command enables debug commands.
You may have to repeat the second command .There is also:
lte.send_at_command('AT!="help"')
lte.send_at_command('AT!="help commansd_name"') -
@robert-hh
Are proprietary commands documented somewhere? -
@lafumat You can also probe the attach-status with the command
AT+CEREG?
That's what the micropython firmware does. If it returns a longer string than
+CEREG: 2,2
something like
+CEREG: 2,5,"E2AE","018C7A0C",9
then the device is attached. -
@danielm Not at a place where I have access to. using the help command, i compiled a list. It's not from the most recent version of the firmware:

Sorry no. I'm restarting on that area now that I got the FiPy modules back from RMA.

then. then, now I understand that it had a good signal, but the fipy was trying to attach herself all night, and she did not succeed.
it's just waiting, or we should give it the command to attach repeatedly ...
On the other hand, I'll check the commands you indicate
