Title: MOD-GSM-EDGE
Post by: jonnydedwards on October 21, 2014, 11:23:05 PM
Hi Guys,
just a quick question about the a20 with the uext MOD-GSM-EDGE board.
Is it possible to use this via python using the pyserial library? If yes, how do I know
if it is working properly?
many thanks in advance,
Jonny Edwards

Open a serial port and send AT to it. Sorry, not familiar with Python to explain how to do that.

It will respond with OK if the modem is powered up.

You can then issue other AT commands to check if registered on the network and get signal strength etc.

AT+CREG?

AT+CSQ?
