I think I was a goofball. I think I had the sim in upside down…EEK…now that that’s sorted…Ahem…:), I can advance towards getting on the network. I am trying to follow this link:
and this one
>>> uart.write(b'AT+CIPSTATUS\r\n'); time.sleep(.5); print(uart.read())
14
b'\r\n+CPIN: READY\r\n\r\nCall Ready\r\nAT+CIPSTATUS\r\r\nOK\r\n\r\nSTATE: IP INITIAL\r\n\r\nSMS Ready\r\n'
>>> uart.write(b'AT+CSTT="hologram"\r\n'); time.sleep(.5); print(uart.read())
20
b'AT+CSTT="hologram"\r\r\nOK\r\n'
>>> uart.write(b'AT+CIICR\r\n'); time.sleep(.5); print(uart.read())
10
b'AT+CIICR\r\r\n+PDP: DEACT\r\n\r\nERROR\r\n'
>>> uart.write(b'AT+CIFSR\r\n'); time.sleep(.5); print(uart.read())
10
b'AT+CIFSR\r\r\nERROR\r\n'
>>> uart.write(b'AT+CIPSTART="TCP","cloudsocket.hologram.io",9999\r\n'); time.sleep(.5); print(uart.read())
50
b'AT+CIPSTART="TCP","cloudsocket.hologram.io",9999\r\r\nOK\r\n\r\nSTATE: PDP DEACT\r\n\r\nCONNECT FAIL\r\n'
It seems like I am getting close.
