Seeed Wio LTE

Seeed Wio LTE

The Seeed Wio LTE board is an open source gateway which enable faster IoT GPS solutions.

NOTE: Espruino for Wio LTE is no longer officially supported. The last available build is 2v08

It contains:

NOTE: THE Wio LTE Cat M1 / NB-IoT tracker IS NOT CURRENTLY DIRECTLY SUPPORTED BY ESPRUINO. The firmware for the Cat 1 board on this page may run on it, but you'll have to interface to the CAT M1/NB-IoT modem directly with AT commands. Please contact Seeedstudio directly with any queries.

Full details on flashing can be found on Seeed's website

Using

Seeed has a complete Getting Started Guide here which is the best source of information

Seeed Wio LTE can be used much like any other Espruino USB device, with the exception of the on-board LED which needs to be accessed with the WioLTE.LED(r,g,b) function.

The built-in object WioLTE provides useful functionality:

WioLTE.setLEDPower(true);
WioLTE.LED(r,g,b); // Output a color on the LED (values range 0..255)

There are also built-in variables for each of the Grove connectors marked on the board. These are two-element arrays of Pins:

WioLTE.D38
WioLTE.D20
WioLTE.A6
WioLTE.A4
WioLTE.I2C
WioLTE.UART

They can be used with Espruino's Grove modules, however remember to turn power on with WioLTE.setGrovePower(true); first!

You can also access them directly:

WioLTE.D38[0].write(1);
digitalWrite(WioLTE.D38[0]);

var pin = WioLTE.D38[0];
digitalWrite(pin, 0);

Using SD Card

The SD card can be accessed with Espruino's normal File IO.

However you must be careful not to use it less than 4 seconds before power-on, as the SD card will not have initialised by that point.

var fs = require('fs');

// Init SDCard
WioLTE.init;

var test = function() {
  // List files
  console.log('List files on root path:\r\n', fs.readdirSync());
  // Write file  
  fs.writeFileSync("hello.txt", "Hello World");
  // read file
  console.log(fs.readFileSync("hello.txt"));
  // append file
  fs.appendFileSync("hello.txt", "!!!");
  // read again
  console.log(fs.readFileSync("hello.txt"));
};

setTimeout(test, 4000);

Using LTE and GPS

To use this functionality, you need to require the wiolte module with require('wiolte').

An example showing how to connect, use the Internet connection, GPS, and SMS is below:

var board;
var APN = "UNINET";
var USERNAME = "";
var PASSWORD = "";

function wiolteStart(debug_quectel, debug_at) {
  debug_quectel = debug_quectel || false;
  debug_at = debug_at || false;

  board = require('wiolte').connect(function(err) {
    console.log("connectCB entered...");
    if (err) throw err;
    setTimeout(doConnect,3000);
  });

  board.debug(debug_quectel, debug_at);

}

function doConnect() {
  board.connect(APN, USERNAME, PASSWORD, function(err) {
    console.log("connectCB entered...");
    if (err) throw err;
    board.getIP(print);

    // work after connected
    setTimeout(onConnected, 5000);

  });
}

function onConnected(){
  // Handle call coming
  board.on('RING', function(){
  });

  // Handle SMS coming
  board.on('message', function(id){
    board.SMS.read(id, function(d, sms){
      if(d !== "OK") throw new Error(d);
      console.log('SMS from:', sms.oaddr);
      console.log(':', sms.text);
    });
  });

  // fetch longitude, latitude every 10 s
  board.geoLocStart(10000);

  GetHtmlPage("http://www.pur3.co.uk/hello.txt");
}

function GetHtmlPage(html_page){
  require("http").get(html_page, function(res) {
    var contents = "";

    console.log("Response: ",res);

    res.on('data', function(d) {
      contents += d;
    });

    res.on('close', function(d) {
        console.log("Connection closed");
        console.log("full page content ---> \r\n"+contents);
    });
  });
}

function GeoLoc() {
  var coord="";
  board.geoLocGet(function(err, coord) {
    if(err) throw err;
    console.log("longitude latitude = " + coord.lat,coord.lng);
  });
}

wiolteStart();

Once initialised with:

board = require('wiolte').connect(function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log("Successfully connected!);
});
