What
This page is about the SIM7020 NB-IOT module.
I plan to experiment with this kind of network connectivity for perhaps a bat activity monitor or air quality monitoring.
Update: this escalated quickly ... the NB-IOT stuff at t-mobile already seems dead: The t-mobile website has an outdated certificate, otherwise seems down (error 503).
Hardware
I wired it up like this:
| SIM7020 | USB serial | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| G | nc | looped to SIM7020-K |
| R | TXD | |
| T | RXD | |
| K | nc | looped to SIM7020-G |
| V | 3V3 | |
| G | GND | |
| S | DTR |
