I tried compiling using both 0.10.4 and 0.10.5 but I’m getting the below error (code compiles in 0.9.2/0.10.1 though)

Hi, a Makefile is the script that is used by the IDE to build your sketch.
Are you doing anything special to customize the Hologram package in the IDE or have you just done the basic install in the board manager?
We strongly recommend using 0.10.5 now as you’ll have a lot of weird problems if you don’t and the latest firmware has other solutions for passing AT commands through to the modem.
You shouldn’t be having any build issues within the Hologram package if you haven’t edited anything. It might be because you are on an old version of the Arduino IDE. Can you try upgrading your IDE to 1.8.4 and see if that helps?
Other things to try if that doesn’t work:
uninstalling the Hologram package in the boards manager and reinstalling it
exit the IDE, completely delete your Arduino IDE profile directory (looks like /Users/xxx/Library/Arduino15 on your system) and then start the IDE again and add the Hologram URL into preferences and reinstall the package from the boards manager
Actually, looking at that error a little closer I think it’s that you’re using write which only accepts single characters. Try print() or sendMessage()
I assume I’m using Arduino IDE’s compiler script as I’m not using any other tools to build the sketch.
So I’ll take your recommendation to update my IDE to 1.8.4. first.
Thanks.
By the way, I forgot to mention that I have konekt_system_module_simple_modem.ino.bin as the board’s system firmware. I was wrong to mention the konekt_user_module_serial_gateway.ino thread in the first place.
Let me know if this contributes to the error.
I’d recommend you use this instead of that special passthrough firmware and do your passthrough things with our built-in enterPassthrough function. Which functions are you using? We probably have built-in support for most of them now.
Hopefully with the new firmware things will be much easier for you since we have built wrappers for most functions on the modem. If there are any features missing let us know and we may add them in a future version
I did everything in the list, and the code compiled after changing the SerialCloud.write to SerialCloud.print.
However, there’s nothing being sent via AT commands.
I noticed two things: The old passthrough firmware logs +UMWI: 0,1 - 0,4 and was able to handle unsynchronized responses such from AT+ULOC. Another thing is that I usually get ABORT and ERROR response from AT commands (when antenna is removed) from AT+UPSD=0,1 and AT+UPSD=0,3… but I did not get such this time.
To further my testing, I removed the SIM hoping to see ERROR message in AT+UPSD=0,1. Nothing shows in the log.
Are you trying to send the AT command via SerialCloud? That’s only for sending to our cloud. See the note in the enterPassthrough function. There’s a new SerialSystem object that you can write to and that will send everything to the modem.
BTW, Is there an existing thread/discussion regarding HologramCloud? The one discussing the wrapper’s corresponding UBLOX’ AT+ commands in a much in-depth discussion such as error handling, retries, timeouts, etc.
I suggest (for filtering purposes) that a ‘group’ be created at the same level of DEVELOPERS - DEVICE DEVELOPMENT if that make sense.
Also, at first glance (if my eyes fail me) I can’t find the equivalent of AT+UPSD=0,1 (APN setting). My client is gearing to use Podsystem in the prototype and have not convinced them yet to look at Hologram SIM at this time.
We don’t currently have a function to set the APN. We may add that in the future but many functions of the Dash firmware won’t work without our SIM cards.
Feel free to open any threads for AT command discussion. If you’re interested in the underlying AT commands for something, the source code is all available on our GitHub.
