GPy - NB-IoT (Vodafone - Germany), didn't get it working



  • Hello,

    i try to get my GPy working with Vodafone NB-IoT working but i am stuck and i am unsure where is the problem.

    With help of robert-hh i got some steps forward but i did get it attached, and the documention do not help

    me.

    First a bit over my equipment

    1 x Vodafone NB-IoT datacard
    1 x 1nce - 1nce.de NB-IoT which is a Reseller for German Telekom
    1 x PyTrack 1.1
    1 x Expansion Board 3.1
    2 x GPy's one with limited Band support the other looks like this

    lte.send_at_cmd('AT!="RRC:showcaps"')

    == CAPS config =============================

    Maybe someone can see here the problem. This attempt above is with the Vodafone datacard.
