PYP SIM800L



  • After updating the devices to V6.2 UIflow still offers only 4.5 or beta and the pyb library is not available to access the UART for operating the SIM800L.
    Any hints?
    My first guess - don't mix German UIflow with English firmware but that was not the problem. The device stalls when trying to use either of the module commands PM2.5, Cellular, or Hardware->Power
    thanks



  • @efried if you want to use UART in UIFlow you could find the block in the Advanced category could you provide more detail? we not clearly the problem you said. which program are you used? the device salls? if you could share you code or block screenshot to here , will very helpful for us to find the proble . also the language seting don't effect the program.

  • Nothing spectacular

    either trials via module or the example do not work

    what is the order to initiate GPRS transmition - upload to a server?

    This second attempt throws name 'pyb' isn't defined

    from m5stack import *
