        After I successfully got the uBee U201 to work for my application, Sodaq stopped producing that model and now only offers one based on the R410. So I’m working on getting the uBee R410 to work.

          Ugh. I should just get one of these R410 uBee’s just to help other people out.

          It looks like it’s powering down when it’s supposed to be waking up and visa-versa.

          I could babble a

            I’ve attached some annotations showing what’s happening in your logs.

              Hi Sara,

              Thanks for the reply and the helpful annotated logs. Unfortunately, that didn’t fix it, and it’s still doing the hard reset. Bummer! This issue seems reminiscent of the last post

                Yes, it’s probably related to the same issues that @acgold had. These ublox modules just seem to be so much more finicky than the 2G SIM800’s were.

                Could you try switching to the “

                  Thank you Sara.

                  Inching closer. Prior to switching to the modemLast branch I tried something similar to what @acgold suggested. I added the following lines:

                    Doh. Yes, I thought of that as I was driving home. Do add the lines setting the wake pin high.

                    Do you know what version of the firmware you’re running? To check, you can eit

                      Thanks Sara. Some more info for you. First, the CGMR and GMR commands both result in the response ERROR, as you can see in the output below.

                          Oh, and yes, the issue with NIST is really common. There have been a few GitHub issues about it. I’m trying to connect over TCP to the daytime server. That server is designed to respond to an

                            Sara, this is really amazing support. Thank you very much for your contributions to the community.

                            Unfortunately, problems persist. As far as I can tell, switching to synchronous close did not improv

                              Now it’s the asynchronous open that’s causing trouble. That *should* be blocking. The program should not continue until the URC arrives. I will need to test that more.

                              Anyway, another

                                Oh, no, the hold for the URC *is* working. It’s just not holding for long enough. It gives up after 75s and the code wasn’t smart enough to differentiate between a ‘0’ = noth

                                  I am so very unimpressed with the SARA R410. It does not deserve its name.

                                    Thank you Sara. Unfortunately those changes didn’t do the trick. I may have to fall back to using some GPRSbees for this project and hope that T-Mobile doesn’t shut down their 2G towers to

                                      I’m sorry!  The SIM800 definitely has quirks, but it’s better than this.  We have had better luck with the Mayfly and Digi LTE XBee3’s than you have had with the UBee, but I’

                                        As for T-Mobile’s 2G, the most recent I’ve found says no guarantee past the end of this year.  A while ago they were saying that they would maintain the same coverage area for 2G up until

                                          Cool, thanks for that info. Yeah, I have found the GPRSbee to be pretty good; we have four of them that have been operating for over a year now and they all just keep trucking along.

                                              I just pushed some improvements yesterday to the EnviroDIY fork of TinyGSM that should help with the uBee.

                                                It is safe to say that you are appropriately taking care of the ublox module? You’ll need to supply it with a battery or supercap as the hasty
