I was trying to set up a secure connection to our AWS IoT server by using this example:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/building-an-aws-iot-core-device-using-aws-serverless-and-an-esp32/

The first big difference is that I’m using the SIMComSIM7080 code (ie starting from DRWI_SIM7080LTE.ino) to connect to the internet instead of a general…[Read more]

Laura DeCicco replied to the topic platformio.ini help in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 1 years, 9 months ago

Thanks @neilh20, I think I needed to run pio pkg install . Now that I have done that – the libraries do indeed clone then install automatically when I update the .ini file.

I’m still not sure I fully appreciate the power of the .ini file and pio commands…but that will come with time I guess.

Git is a critical part of my daily work-life, and…[Read more]

Laura DeCicco started the topic platformio.ini help in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 1 years, 9 months ago

I’ve mostly converted from the basic Arduino IDE to VSCode/Platform IO. The main reason I made the switch was library management. I love every aspect so far (code completion, integrated Git tools, etc), but I’m still struggling with how to best use the platformio.ini file to manage required libraries for a project.

For example, this is an example…[Read more]

Laura DeCicco replied to the topic U.S. Cellular EnviroDIY LTE Bee connection in the forum Mayfly Data Logger 1 years, 9 months ago

Much like some of the other issues with similar initial connection problems….I re-started the Serial Monitor enough times that it eventually worked! For the record, U.S. Cellular no longer piggy backs off Verizon, so we’re not concerned that we might accidently float into a Verizon tower.

You’re right! I had pulled the SIM card out to get the ID and apparently didn’t quite push it in far enough, so I’m back to the “Could not connect to internet for clock sync.”.

The antenna is that little green one (I don’t see a part number/name but I assume you know what I mean). I’ll look into getting the bigger one.

While I wait on the…[Read more]

The APN for US Cellular is “uscc05836.enterprise3.usc-cdp”. Southern WI is one of the few places US Cellular has dedicated towers and the signal is good (from what I’ve been told)….but if somehow the Verizon tower is what’s being hit that would make sense. I’ll try ordering a Hologram card to jump start this project (I don’t think that’s a…[Read more]

We can see some data usage from the SIM card…so it maybe it just needs a longer time before “Putting modem to sleep”?

Setup:

Mayfly v.1.1 (via the EnviroDIY Mayfly Data Logger Board and Starter Kit)
EnviroDIY LTE Bee
U.S. Cellular SIM card

I’m using this sketch:

I’m pretty confident I have changed the following code correctly: APN connection name (line…[Read more]

@hannahlb I’m also quite new to this community and I think I’m interested in setting up a very similar application. Specifically 2 and 3 in @neilh20 ‘s response sound like what I’ve been googling. If you’ve got it working, I’d love to hear how you set it up/sketch examples, etc.
