GSM/PPPOS working example/library

Post by nedoskiv » Sat Apr 20, 2019 3:17 pm

Hello,

I wanted to use a GSM modem (SIM800L) for example to connect my ESP32 board (as long as read it merget with main)
So far I have read that network.PPP is added, but never see anyone post a working example to run it.
Loboris ESP32 have implemented GSP support and it is working. Examples that he post are actually working, but his port looks abandoned (also have some differences) that make me not use it for a projects.
So is there someone who wanna work with me to write a library that gonna make internet works from GSM modem using PPPOS?

Here is how it worked for me (very basic example):

Code: Select all

import machine
import time
gsm = machine.UART(1,tx=22, rx=21, timeout=1000,  baudrate=9600)
time.sleep(1)
gsm.write("at\r\n")
print(gsm.readline())
print(gsm.readline())
time.sleep(1)
gsm.write("AT+CPIN?\r\n")
print(gsm.readline())
print(gsm.readline())
time.sleep(1)
#gsm.write("ate0\r\n")
#print(gsm.readline())
#print(gsm.readline())
#time.sleep(1)
gsm.write("AT+CREG?\r\n")
print(gsm.readline())
print(gsm.readline())
time.sleep(1)
gsm.write("AT+CNMI=0,0,0,0,0\r\n")
print(gsm.readline())
print(gsm.readline())
time.sleep(1)
gsm.write('AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","globul"\r\n')
print(gsm.readline())
print(gsm.readline())
time.sleep(1)
gsm.write('AT+CGDATA="PPP",1\r\n')
time.sleep(1)
print(gsm.readline())
print(gsm.readline())

time.sleep(5)

import network
 
ppp=network.PPP(gsm)
ppp.active(True)
time.sleep(15)

print(ppp.ifconfig())
Output:

Code: Select all

Also noticed some problems during tests and fire up an issue at Github:

How do you set the apn, user, and password?
