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 …

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 …
I wanted to post a video, but sadly the free version of WordPress doesn't allow this. So, you can click here to watch the video of me playing "Asteroids Game!" on my Uno with the LCD Keypad Shield. Sorry for the low quality of the video, but I'm sure you'll …
