Has anyone figured out how to get signal strength off of the 5G modem? This would be very useful information. We are looking to make a 3D plot for signal strength and path optimization algorithms for the best path. We also want to store this signal strength data.

@Capstone-0 Our drone crashed and we ditched our project but has ModalAI added support for AT commands for the 5G (I assume EM9291) modem yet? If not, I figured out how to do it and posted instructions here

Once you get those commands, you can set up a service to query the modem for its signal strength and pump the output somewhere. Someone else in that forum discusses it a bit.
