Seeeduino Lotus + NB-IoT Shield not working

Products & Technology Shields
#1

I bought a Seeeduino Lotus and a Dragino NB-IoT Shield-B8 but I can not get it to work. I have mounted the shield on top of the Lotus like it should

  • I followed this tutorial: <LINK_TEXT text=“https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?titl … o_Mega2560”>https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=NB-IoT_Shield#Test_NB-IoT_Shield_with_Arduino_Uno_.26.26_Arduino_Mega2560</LINK_TEXT>

    I tried the part where you could connect the TX/RX of the lotus to the shield’s RX/TX but it does not work

    I connected a USB UART to the debug pins of the shield

    Tried putting a 2A charger to the seeeduino and seeing what it does in the serial monitor via the RX/TX but nothing changes so it is probably not a power issue

    I am getting this in the arduino serial monitor when I reset the shield, so it does do something

    And this in the putty (debug on the shield) when I reset it:







    The “AT” etc. commands do nothing, does anyone know where I am going wrong?

    Hello,

    the message shows that there is no problem with the connection of TX&RX of Arduino board and NB-IOT shield, as well as the connection of NB-IOT board to the BC95 module. But there is something wrong when starting BC95 board. Could you please try reset the NB-IOT board after Arduino board powered on and post how you connected the circuit. (And have you plug SIM CARD?)

    Hope this would help you.
