Quectel LTE BG96 Cat.M1/NB1 & EGPRS Module

The Quectel BG96 is a LTE/Cat.M1/NB1/EGPRS module that can provide internet access via an AT command set.

Support is provided in Espruino by the QuectelBG96 (About Modules) module.

Software

Serial1.setup(115200, { rx: .., tx : ... });

function connectionReady() {
  var http = require("http");
  http.get("http://www.pur3.co.uk/hello.txt", function(res) {
    res.on('data', function(data) {
      console.log(data);
    });
  });
}

gprs = require('QuectelBG96').connect(Serial1, {
  apn : "",
  username : "",
  password : ""
}, function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  connectionReady();
});
// gprs.debug(); // show just debug info from BG96 module

The second argument to connect is an object that can contain:

{
  lte : bool, // Are we using LTE? This changes how we check if we're registered
  apn : "", // optional access point name.
  username : "", // optional username
  password : "", // optional password
  // debug : true // to show raw AT command info
}
