User Guide

Testing it in Windows PC

1. Hardware connection and driver installation
  • Before testing, you should prepare
    • A Micro USB cable
    • LTE and GPS Antennas
    • The SIM7080G Cat-M/NB-IoT HAT
    • An NB-IoT SIM card.
  • Insert the SIM card into the SIM7080 board, connect the LTE antenna and the GPS antenna. Connect the micro USB of SIM7080G board to PC by USB cable.
  • Hold the PWRKEY button for about 1s to power on the module. After powering on, the STA indicator lights on, NET indicator quick-blinks firstly and then slow-blinks.
  • Download the driver file, unzip it. Then update the driver by Devices Manager
  • Generally, the SIM7080G will be recognized by PC with three USB ports. To update the driver, you can right-click the USB port and update it with the driver downloaded
  • AT Port COM31 is the one used as the communication port. We will use it to test the SIM7080G board.

Note: The SIM7080G modules support global networks. The time to log in the network is different among different areas. And to use the SIM7080G, you should first confirm that LTE-M or LTE-NB network are available in the local area.

sudo apt-get install python-serial
wget -P ~/Documents/ https://files.waveshare.com/upload/e/e6/SIM7080G_Cat_M_NB_IoT_HAT_Code.tar.gz
cd ~/Documents
tar -xzf SIM7080G_Cat_M_NB_IoT_HAT_Code.tar.gz
sh ~/Documents/SIM7080G_Cat_M_NB_IoT_HAT_Code/RaspberryPi/pi_gpio_init.sh
Enbale UART and hardware connection

Open raspi-config by following commands, and choose Interfacing Options -> Serial, close login sheel and open the hardware serial port.
