- demoTest : full demo sketch
- Checks if the modem is available
- reads temperature, supply voltage, hardware & firmware version, power level
- sends temperature & supply voltage on Sigfox network
- downlinkDemo : how to receive data from the Sigfox network
- sendMultipleValues : sending various values in a single message
- sendSingleValues : sending values from a single analog sensor
Like any other library, see tutorial
####Sigfox module initialization
Starting with version 4 of the library, RX/TX definition is directly in the sketch. There's a single library file to include and a simple line of code to map the signals according to your device :
#include <Akeru.h>
/* Snootlab device | TX | RX
Akeru | D4 | D5
Akene | D5 | D4
Breakout | your pick */
#define TX 4
#define RX 5
Akeru akeru(RX, TX);
####Powering up
A single line to add in your void setup() :
akeru.begin(); // returns 1 when everything went ok
####Enabling/Disabling echo
To see AT commands and their answers : akeru.echoOn();
To hide AT commands and their answers : akeru.echoOff();
####Sending data
Data is sent to the Sigfox network in hexadecimal format, and the payload has to be a String of all elements you want to send. To ensure proper conversion of your variables, you can use akeru.toHex() method :
int val = analogRead(0);
String valString = akeru.toHex(val);
akeru.sendPayload(varString);
Note that if you send a array of char you need to provide its size in order to convert it :
char array[] = "Hello world";
String arrayString= akeru.toHex(array, sizeof(array));
akeru.sendPayload(arrayString);
