Unable to configure LTE modem
-
Hi,
I purchased the LTE V2 Pro with Sierra North America modem installed (https://www.modalai.com/collections/blue-uas-framework-components/products/m0130-3?variant=48186331726128). I am trying to set it up on my VOXL2 with a Canadian sim card from Rogers. I know the SIM card works (and APN is correct) since I have used it in another Quectel modem.
I run the "voxl-configure-modem" command and set the following:
- Type of modem: 1) v2
- connect to ModalLink: 2) no
- APN: 7) custom
- custom APN: lteinternet.apn
- modem region: 1) Americas
After this it just gets stuck at "Waiting for ttyUSB2..." and does not proceed further.
I have tried this a couple of times but without any success. Previously I was using a wifi dongle connected via the USB3.0/UART expander. I have removed it to plug in the LTE modem.
Kindly help to set me up with the LTE modem. Thanks.

@h3robotics It seems as though the modem itself is not being detected. Can you ensure that the add-on board is fully seated onto the VOXL and that both connectors are fully connected?

@tom when I was plugging in the modem, it did seem that the J1 connector does not go all the way in. But it is because of some small resistors that don't let the LTE modem seat completely.
I am attaching some pictures. Pic 1 and 2 shows the J1 connector side and the small resistor components.
Let me know if there is a solution to this

@h3robotics , the clearance is indeed very tight between the small capacitor and the beige 12-pin JST GH connector. However, in fully seated position of the add-on board into VOXL2, the JST GH connector does not touch the capacitor - your image shows the fully seated connection with slight clearance.

@Alex-Kushleyev I agree. When I put in the USB3/UART Add on board, I see that there is some clearance b/w the JST connector and the LTE board.
So it looks like the LTE modem is seated in properly. Looking forward to a solution to my problem of LTE setup
