________________________________________
Hardware Setup
• Board: KC868-A16S (ESP32 with integrated GSM module)
• SIM Card: Active SIM with data plan (tested working in phone)
• Antenna: LTE antenna connected to the antenna port
• Power: 12V DC power supply

Software Configuration
Platform
• PlatformIO with Arduino framework
• ESP32 Dev Module target
• TinyGSM library v0.11.7
Pin Configuration (from our code)
// GSM Module Pins
#define PIN_GSM_RX 32  // ESP32 receives from modem
#define PIN_GSM_TX 33  // ESP32 sends to modem
#define PIN_GSM_PWR 23 // Power pin (unused currently)
APN Settings
#define APN_NAME "internet"
#define APN_USER ""
#define APN_PASS ""
________________________________________
Initialization Code
// GSM Modem Init
SerialAT.begin(115200, SERIAL_8N1, PIN_GSM_RX, PIN_GSM_TX);
delay(3000);
Serial.println("Initializing GSM modem...");
modem.restart();
// Check Signal Quality
int csq = modem.getSignalQuality();
Serial.print("Signal Quality (CSQ): ");
Serial.println(csq);
// Wait for Network
if (!modem.waitForNetwork(15000)) {
    Serial.println("Network registration FAILED");
} else {
    Serial.println("Network OK");
    // Connect to GPRS
    if (!modem.gprsConnect(APN_NAME, APN_USER, APN_PASS)) {
        Serial.println("GPRS Connect failed");
    }
}
________________________________________
Serial Monitor Output
Initializing GSM modem...
Signal Quality (CSQ): 99
Waiting for network... FAILED (will retry in loop)
Network lost. Reconnecting...
Network unreachable
CSQ=99 means "Not Detectable" according to AT command specifications.
________________________________________
What I Have Tried
1. ✅ Verified SIM card works in mobile phone
2. ✅ Tried different APN names ("internet", "")
3. ✅ Checked antenna connection
4. ✅ Tried baud rates: 9600, 57600, 115200
5. ✅ Power cycled the board multiple times
6. ❓ Not sure if there is a PWR_KEY or RESET pin that needs toggling
________________________________________
Questions for KinCony Team
1. What is the GSM module model on the A16S? (SIM7600, SIM800L, A7670C, or other?)
2. Are the TX/RX pins correct? (We use GPIO 32 for RX, GPIO 33 for TX)
3. Is there a power-on sequence required? Does the GSM module have a PWR_KEY or RESET pin that must be toggled before use?
4. What baud rate should we use? (Currently 115200)
5. Do you have a working demo code or .bin file that we can flash to verify the hardware works?
________________________________________
Additional Information
• Wi-Fi connection works perfectly on the same board
• All other I2C devices (PCF8574, RTC, sensors) work correctly
• The board was purchased recently and appears undamaged

My KC868A16s is connected to internet with LAN port, WIFI off (LAN IP 192.168.1.200, mask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.1.1).

It get the Board time to internet, no problem, so I think the KC is really connected to internet, it is not behind a firewall.

In custom protocol, I create Custom1, with :

"routeur = HTTP POST", "HEX : Empty", "Message :Empty" and "URL(Otional)= https://xxxx.synology.me/api/webhook/Tem...AT_G_21deg", this url is my webhook that is open on internet

With a Pc connected to internet, in chrome  this url turn on my webhook on my home assistant (boolean ON), but if I run the custom1 in IFFTT, I get "success" on KC but in reality Nothing appears to my home assistant. 

An other isue, when I run this custom protocol, I loose the connection to the board, so I must reboot the board to local access to the web interface !

I think I have an issue to configure this custom protocol.

Can you help me ?

I have a KC868-A16S V1.1.
I have a problem with sms, I can do a phone test to my mobile phone and I receive the KC868 sms, it's ok.
With a digital input I can do a "Relay on" and it send me a sms notify message, ok.

The issue is when I want to send with my phone, a sms control to change a relay state, in this case, the KC868 doesn't do anything with IFTT.
It's like the KC868 doesn't receive the sms command.

How to find the issue ?

I have an A16S board, which has a problem. LAN is randomly freezing, board itself keep functional, but network is going down.
Ethernet cable replug solves the issue. (or rebooting the unit)

What can be the reason behind? Makes my automations really unstable.


Thank you in advance,

Is it possible to put an other DS18B20 in parallel ? I have try, but not possible to see an other sensor temperature.
If not possible with an other DS18B20, is it possible with other sensor type ? by exemple thermistance NTC b3950-10K on Analogic ADC input ? (I think there is two positions analogic for voltage)

Can You help me ?]]> <![CDATA[Accessible SPI interface?]]> https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7237 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 03:06:18 +0800 czbaterka]]> https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7237
Is it possible to connect CAN bus SPI module (for example the one with MCP2515 and TJA1050) to this board trough SPI interface?

I cannot see any available IO pins that can be used for SPI, but it seems there are unpopulated pins on the ESP?

Maybe those can be used?]]>
