T-SIM7080G-S3 from Lilygo + Arduino Dashboard

Development Tools Cloud IoT
1

I bought T-SIM7080G-S3 from Lilygo.

I need to capture 3 analog readings every 10 seconds with onboard ESP32. I want to stream the data to Arduino IoT with the intension to use Arduino Dashboard to see the data. There are plenty of videos showing how to load data using WiFi but there is nothing available by using SIM card.

Could someone point me to right direction please.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding but there is no difference as far as the Arduino Dashboard is concerned. When you configure the Arduino cloud you connect to an SSID.

Hi @johnchugh. The short answer is "it is probably possible, but definitely very challenging".

We may classify Arduino Cloud IoT Devices into two types of support:

  • Explicit: Arduino provides "turnkey" solutions for using this hardware as a Device.
  • Manual: Arduino does not provide a specific solution for this hardware, so the user must implement support themself (or perhaps using a solution created by the community).

Use of hardware with "explicit support" will be the smoothest path to making Arduino Cloud IoT projects. Achieving the same via the "manual support" approach will be an endeavor that should only be attempted by advanced users who are ready to take on a challenge.

Arduino only provides explicit cellular connectivity support when the following hardware is used as the Device:

So Arduino does not provide explicit support for using your 3rd party board as a Device via its cellular connectivity. We do provide explicit support for ESP32-S3 boards using Wi-Fi connectivity.

See: https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/hardware/cellular/

If you want to use arbitrary hardware as a Device, you can select "Any device" from the "Setup Device" dialog on Arduino Cloud:

This will provide you with the credentials your Device needs to authenticate with the MQTT broker on the Arduino Cloud server.

We do provide some frameworks for use on manual devices. However, these frameworks are designed for use on standard computers (e.g., a Raspberry Pi SBC) and won't be useful for a microcontroller dev board like yours.

There is some information here:

You are of course welcome to utilize the open source Arduino libraries we created for use in our explicit support implementations:
