SIM7600CE-T and Arduino Mega

Hi,

I've tried to set up the SIM7600CE-T in combination with an Arduino Mega 2560. I followed the steps in the product wiki, but the SIM modem is not responding to AT commands.

Steps that I took:
1. put the shield on top of the Arduino mega
2. Connect RX with D7 and TX with D8 using jumper cables (is this correct? not RX to D8 and TX to D7?)
3. Power the Arduino Mega
4. Press boot
4. Wait for the device to register to the network (successful, Net light flashes once per second)
5. Upload the script from the wiki
6. Open the Serial Monitor
7. The monitor is blank, and if I send the AT command (or any other) to it it is not returning anything,

I've tested the Arduino with another script and it is returning commands. I think the issue is that the Arduino and the shield are not communicating with each other or something.

What am I doing wrong? Do I have to change anything in the script/connection since I use an Arduino Mega?

Please help, I have no idea how to solve this...

Kind regards,

David

Hello, you have to use a seperate power supply for the module. If you use the same power supply for the arduino and the gsm module, it will not work. Use two different power supplies and short the grounds. The AT commands, LED functions etc.are similar to SIM900. So, you can get some clues from here too:

has anyone been able to get the meat 2560 working with this SIM7600CE module?

If someone can help, it would be appreciated….

I am trying to post a new topic, but I keep getting this stupid error message:

                                      Href Only DFRobot.com

But, there are no URLs in my text or in the topic paragraph.

What's wrong ?????
