Hi all,
Sorry if this comes across quite dumb, though I’m a bit unsure of how to setup this 4G modem. At the moment I have put a NB-IOT sim (this is a ThingsMobile sim) in the modem and plugged a cable into the usb port on the board and connected it to a usb2.0 port on my Raspberry Pi 4.
I have a simple Balena release at the moment, that publishes sensor data and my aim is for the modem to automatically connect to 4G and then let Balena use the modem as a way of sending this data which just goes to an api endpoint using python.
I read the documentation and believe I just need to put a cellular file in the system-configurations/ folder in the resin-boot directory of the SD-Card. My cellular file looks like this,
[connection]
id=cellular
type=gsm
autoconnect=true
[gsm]
apn=tm
[serial]
baud=115200
[ipv4]
method=auto
[ipv6]
addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy
method=auto
The only issue is, nothing connects. Am I being stupid, am I overlooking something important? I feel like maybe this is too simple to get this modem setup, or is what I am doing right?
Also what is the best way to debug a modem like this when using BalenaOS?
Thanks all, really appreciate you bearing with my inexperience.
Kind Regards,
George
