to get the CSQ

lte.attach()
lte.send_at_cmd("AT+CSQ")

Thanks a lot Robert,
Could you please send me the code for connecting the fipy NB-IoT module to the network.
Because there is no tutorial or example code for NB-IoT.

Thanks a lot for your help and support

@radheshyam0508 Once the device is attached and connected, you can use the usual socket mechanism to communicate.

@robert-hh
sorry, but How would i know that my device is connected?

[robert-hh]

@radheshyam0508 Look at the example in the documentation:
https://docs.pycom.io/tutorials/lte/nb-iot/
which is similar to my little script I posted before. After connection, I tried a simple connection link to a PC I had set up as the server:

data_client = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
# 
ip_address="84.147.45.246"
port_number = 4567
data_client.connect((ip_address, port_number))
 
while True:
    msg = input("New message")
    if msg == "q":
        break
    data_client.send(msg + "\r\n")
 
data_client.close()

I lost somehow the code of the matching "server", but it was minimal. I may have type that on-the-fly at a Python REPL.

lte.send_at_cmd("AT+CSQ")

Hello robert,
after giving the AT command I got this error...
"OSError: LTE modem is in data state, cannot send AT commands"
Could you please help me how can I rectify it. I already disconnect and reconnect the module and try to send the AT commands but again I got the same error.

Thanks

@radheshyam0508 Yould you try lte.deinit()?
It is funny that the modem is in the data state, if you did not attach or connect. Typically it is in the data state after connecting.

lte.deinit()

So when does it reply to AT commands? When it is in DATA state or other state?

[robert-hh]

@radheshyam0508 It respond to AT commands when NOT in data state.
You could also try to send
lte.send_at_command("+++")
and then, after a few seconds
lte.send_at_command("ATH")
These are the historic commands to terminate a data session.

lte.send_at_command("ATH")

Hey sorry Robert I am asking you more questions.
Now I want to know that can I send all the AT command using the python code. I don't want to send it manually. Is it possible that i can upload the AT command code with the connection establish code?

[robert-hh]

@radheshyam0508 You can always write a python script which contains all the commands you want, and store that on the device.
