@unix I haven't the possibility to debug it right now, as your debug shows the commands are correctly received, I think you have to change the serial in-out configuration. Check it and send me a screenshot of both.

Also try to put a debug node after join node wired with serial-out

@roberts_lando
i have found one error in another flow i have running sms sender i have delete this and the error seems only the trim see screenshots.

i have check the modem connect over cu and modem works and i disconnect to the modem.

roberts_lando

@unix ok I have found the problem: replace \n with \r\n in both serial-in and serial-out nodes than it should work correctly! This has happen because when you have imported the flow I think you haven't already installed node-red-node-serial and the configuration got lost

@roberts_lando

WTF great thx for fast response and help :smile:

@unix you welcome! :)

@roberts_lando said in S103-G use GSM/GPRS module to connect to internet:

Hi!

Great tutorial!

I use Raspbian Stretch Lite and I can not get the S103-G to work with these instructions. The command cu -l / dev / ttyAMA0 crashes when I try to AT command. Ifconfig does not give ppp0.

What have I missed?

Hi
have you disable the BT on Pi3

/boot/config.txt addline

dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt

and on /boot/cmdline.txt remove

serial console than its looks like

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=e13fdf55-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait

Regards

Vesa Kauppinen

@unix

Thank you for answer!

BT disabled and cmdline.txt edited...

No success

@tomas_hora any ideas?

Vesa

roberts_lando

I always had compatibility problems when using Raspbian Stretch, try to use last Raspbian Jessie img and it should work

Vesa Kauppinen

@roberts_lando

Thank you for answer!

Now i have tried with Rasbian Jessie Lite.....no success :disappointed:

Do you use Jessie Lite or full?

Thanks,
Vesa

roberts_lando

@Vesa-Kauppinen I think you have missed one or more step of the turorial. I suggest you to retry the tutorial and check if an instruction fails. Do you have switch on the GPRS module?

@roberts_lando Hi, I've done all the steps to configure the internet connection but when I type "ifconfig" it doesn't show me the ppp0 interface. Could you please help me?

when I type the command "cat /var/log/syslog" It show me this messages:

The issue was by the incorrect comm speed with the modem. I modified the guide provided by @roberts_lando to use the proper baudrate of 9600 instead of 115200.
