Serial communication does not work through pin 14 RX

Hello I am trying to communicate with my cubecell board through pin 14 and 15 RX TX but the RX pin 14 does not work, cubecell does not receive anything, if I get data from TX pin 15, I feed the board by VIN with 5V, if I connect the USB cable and I communicate through the CP2102 everything works well, I measured continuity with a multimeter and everything is fine.

I have 2 plates and the 2 do not work

I am using the AB01 board and the firmware load version 3.1.1 with the WAN configurator

hi,

we have updated the Development environment.

please git pull(git version).

Hello, thanks for answering, excuse me, I’m new to this, could you tell me how I should load it from the arduino ide, since I previously followed the instructions from the heltec page to configure it, now what should I do?, I can no longer use the WAN configurator ?

Hello, I uninstalled the arduino ide and reinstalled it following this guide:


I still have the same problem, please I need help

hi,

we have tested it, it works fine.


this is our test code:

  1. maybe you can add a Pull-up resistor(4.7k) with the RX pin.

  2. could you post your test code?

Hello thanks for being interested in my topic, connect a 4.7k pull up resistor and nothing happened, change to 1k and it started working, but it does not recognize any command, to all AT commands it responds: + ERROR: imput format error.
I attach some screenshots

as for the code I am using the LORAWAN example provided in the Arduino IDE

hi,

we have tested it again with LoRaWan.ino.The result is not good.

Currently, the solution is:remove the CP2102 chip.

we will updated the hardware. the hardware version will be V1.2. The new version(V1.2) will be released in the next few weeks.

We tried 3 different serial chips again, they all can communicate normally.

I do not understand what it means, I have 4 plates and it does not work for me in any

hi,

Our previous test method is:Use AB01 to communicate with a serial port module. The result is not good.

After that, we tried more different serial port modules, it works fine.

Maybe you can try other serial port modules, Or wait for our latest version of the hardware to be released.

What is the release date for the new hardware version?

hi,

About Late April.
