Seeeduino Lotus + NB-IoT Shield not working

[thomas+seeedstudio]

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: https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?titl ... o_Mega2560
  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

Code: Select all

úBÿSLÆüÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
REBOOT_CAUSE_SECURITY_RESET_UNKNOWN
Neul 
OK

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.
