Unfortunately Tims guide uses a different SoC (SIM7600G vs SIM868) with a different feature set.
While the guide for the Pi wont work Waveshare have a collection of examples that will run on the board:
Down the bottom in the resources folder there’s a download for example code.
Which country are you based in? Australia has since deprecated 2G so a majority of the long range features of this board won’t work. The newer SIM7080G Modules have NB-IoT which piggy backs off of 4G,
Liam!
You’re right… That’s a better fit. I’ll research it out. I’m in the USA and 2G is not going to cut it. I plan on using M2M and you’re right 2G is not available. Cat-M looks like a great solution to a problem i didn’t know I had!
I’m ordering up a SIM7080G and play with the Demo Code they have.
loads of Pico Specific stuff and Demos with a ton of sencors are available too
Thanks for the rabbit hole!
I’ll end up asking for help again when I come up for air…
Thanks!
