Problem with UART with BG600L-M3

Hi !

I’m currently doing test on the module BG600L-M3 in hope to integrate it in my project. However, I can’t communicate with my microcontroller with UART.

Here’s my situation :
My module is on ( I know that by having 1.5V on PWRKEY and 1.8V on VDD_EXT).
The status pin is high approximately 90% of the time and low otherwise. This case isn’t describe in the data sheet, so it may indicate a problem I’m not familiar with.

Since the module is on, the part communication should work but I have no response to my AT commands (it doesn’t even repeat the command).

I’m using Arduino for this project, I don’t believe there is a problem with the code since I have use it with other sim module. But I’m a beginner so mistakes can happen :sweat_smile:


#include "wiring_private.h" // pinPeripheral() function

int PWRKEY = 12;
//PA15 PIN 16 D12
int PONTRIG = 7;
//PA7 PIN 8 D7

Uart SerialMain(&sercom1, 15, 11, SERCOM_RX_PAD_3, UART_TX_PAD_2);
//RX PA19 PIN 20 D15
//TX PA18 PIN 19 D11

//Uart SerialGNSS(&sercom1, 14, 16, SERCOM_RX_PAD_1, UART_TX_PAD_0);
//RX PA23 PIN 22 D14
//TX PA22 PIN 21 D16

void SERCOM1_Handler()
{
  SerialMain.IrqHandler();
}

/*void SERCOM3_Handler()
{
  SerialGNSS.IrqHandler();
}*/

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);
    SerialMain.begin(115200, SERIAL_8N1);
    pinPeripheral(11, PIO_SERCOM); 
    pinPeripheral(15, PIO_SERCOM);
    //SerialGNSS.begin(115200);
    //pinPeripheral(14, PIO_SERCOM); 
    //pinPeripheral(16, PIO_SERCOM);
    pinMode(PWRKEY, OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(PWRKEY, LOW);
    delay(5000);
    digitalWrite(PWRKEY, HIGH);
    delay(750);
    digitalWrite(PWRKEY, LOW);
    delay(5000);

}

void loop() {
    
    while (Serial.available()) {
        delay(1);
        SerialMain.write(Serial.read());
    }
    while (SerialMain.available()) {
        Serial.write(SerialMain.read());
    }
}

If you could help, that would be very nice :grin:
Thanks in advance !

thanks :

1, the time of low level is 500-1000ms , if the time is longer than 1000ms , the module can not be turn on
