Upload information to the arduino from the sigfox

Hardware MKR Family MKRFOX1200

Hi,

I am a newbee. I have started sending some info from the arduino to the sigfox(uplink).

Now I would like to do the opposite. From the internet send a command to the Arduino(downlink). I have look for some information, but i haven't find anything. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Could you please post here in the forum some information or an example?

Many thanks,

Marc

Hello Marc,

For the arduino sketch, you can look at the FirstConfiguration example (SigFox/examples/FirstConfiguration at master · arduino-libraries/SigFox · GitHub):

The downlink is triggered by setting the endPacket() method to true, then use SigFox.read() to retrieve received bytes:

int ret = SigFox.endPacket(true);  // send buffer to SIGFOX network and wait for a response
...
if (SigFox.parsePacket()) {
    Serial.println("Response from server:");
    while (SigFox.available()) {
      Serial.print("0x");
      Serial.println(SigFox.read(), HEX);
    }

If you need information on how to configure the downlink on sigfox backend, you can refer to this guide:
