After printing the low resolution LTE project case, I found that I needed to make a few adjustments. Fortunately, since I had saved all the work, I could just edit the file and print again. This time I tried several "hi-res" prints …

Yesterday I printed up a low resolution (meaning less fill) plastic case for my LTE project. It is really low quality and not very structurally sound. I needed a quick print so that I could look at the design, hold it …
After receiving a generous gift from another developer with whom I worked on some projects on XDA, I procured a 3D printer! I purchased a Colido 3D do it yourself printer! What a blessing! This thing was really easy to put together, and I've really enjoyed playing around with it …

I took a little break from my main project to try out AsteroidOS on my LG Watch Urbane (Bass). I have to admit, I really like it. If you don't know, AsteroidOS is …

In my continuing effort to learn about programming, cellular service, and Arduino, I've made a couple of great developments on my LTE project. Essentially, I'm turning these parts into a texting/gps device. I want to say a phone, but since it …
Today was a lot of fun, and I mean a lot! I was able to connect not only the Botletics LTE shield, but also the Nokia 5110 screen to the Arduino, AT THE SAME TIME! I know, for the rest of the Arduino enthusiasts out there, this may seem like …
In the continuing process of testing out various aspects of using the Botletics LTE Arduino shield, I've decided to do a quick test with a few other SIM cards that I have available. I tested two other options, my Straight Talk SIM card, and a Freedom Pop SIM card. I …
Next on my bucket list for things to test out with the Botletics LTE Shield was text messaging, or SMS. According to the demo, it was supposed to be really easy and straight forward, but it wasn't.
First, I used the Hologram Dashboard to send an SMS message to the …
First up on my list of learning about this Botletics LTE shield was how to pull data. Fortunately for me, the LTE demo sketch included a method for downloading something from the internet. It works like this:
// The code below was written by Adafruit and only works on some modules …

I wanted to start playing around with cellular devices and using them with the Arduino. So, I bought a Botletics SIM7000 LTE CAT-M1 NB-IoT Cellular + GPS + Antenna Shield Kit for Arduino (SIM7000A) that works in my locale. There are different modules, SIM7000 …
