Yun, 3G dongle and yun_3g library

Official Hardware Classic Yún
1

Hi!
I'm trying to use a USB 3G dongle to be able to connect Yun to the Internet
where there's no other kind of connection.
The primary aim is to complete a DIY anemometer, but any kind of sensor colud be used:
so wherever you are, whatever you what to measure
you could do it!

Well, Yun is great to do this!
Thinking of this project I found a nice repository on GitHub: GitHub - pictux/Yun_3g: Sketch, package, other stuff for UMTS/3G connection with Yun
so that every thing seems to be done, yet!
But there are some problems I report below, taken from LuCI's SystemLog:

Apr 24 00:55:34 supermarioyun daemon.info avahi-daemon[1289]: avahi-daemon 0.6.31 starting up.

I thought it could be a problem with power supply:
the first report refers to a 5V,600mA power supply, the second to a 5V,1A one.
In the first the system seems unable to determine the Serial
in the second sometimes it does but it seems unable to maintain...

So: any suggestion?

for admins: I know I'doing some kind of crossposting...sorry!
I think it is better to post in the international forum, so if you prefer please delete my other one (Connessione a internet con 3G shield: dubbi/timori - #3 by supermarioprof - Generale - Arduino Forum)

4

I'm sorry I don't have any. I would try to contact user pictux by filing an issue at Issues · pictux/Yun_3g · GitHub
Also: /root//root/check3g.sh doesn't look like the right file name

5

6 minutes to receive an answer! :astonished: :astonished: great!

I will try to contact user pictux on GitHub,
he is an italian user, Mirco Piccin, maybe you know him.

And yes, it seemed weird to me too that /root//root/check3g.sh in SystemLog...
but I thought about power supply firstly, since I'm just a noob in electronics and programming.
So, ok:
I will give a try to change that string in Yun_3g/linino_set3g.sh at master · pictux/Yun_3g · GitHub, line 14
and report what happens!

Hi

Also: /root//root/check3g.sh doesn't look like the right file name

that's the script that checks if the connection is alive, and if not tries to reconnect.
I'll update the script (row 82) in a few hours.

Thanks
M

EDIT: DONE

7

that's the script that checks if the connection is alive, and if not tries to reconnect.
I'll update the script (row 82) in a few hours.

so..it should be wrong as I stated.
Ok, I will try to modify crontab, waiting for the update.
Thank you so much!

Ok, here I am again after some tests with the new script from PicTux.
I'm not able to connect, unfortunately.

just a note: my 3G dongle has an uSD slot, filled with a uSD with some data on.
An ok, there's no way to connect, neither with LuCI/Network/interfaces button.

I verified: this 3G dongle works fine with Ubuntu, but only if plugged before boot.
If plugged in with system on there's no way to turn on
just like with Yun. Myabe this information could help to solve the problem...

I thought it could be a problem with power supply:
the first report refers to a 5V,600mA power supply, the second to a 5V,1A one.
In the first the system seems unable to determine the Serial
in the second sometimes it does but it seems unable to maintain...

Use self power USB hub to power 3G dongle. Yun's USB only feed 4.5V, hardware bug.

Use Yun's MCU to control self power USB hub power, only turn it on once CPU is finished boot.

Post at https://forum.openwrt.org/ for help, It has more 3G users.

Thank you everybody for your help!
Now I had some time to have some new tests, and this is what I obtain:

I compared PicTux works with some guides I found online, and as far as I understand there aren't significant differences:

and

By now I don't know what to do...please help!

UPDATE: I get the same error either with a powered hub or with direct connection to Yun.

Maybe it is a problem of time...
could it be this?

14

People from Yun's ODM put How to configure an USB modem (3G) stick on Linino (Yun) boards

http://wiki.linino.org/doku.php?id=wiki:lininousbmodem

Much to my surprise I sought linino.org is based on US. The 3G is phase out a long time ago in US.

Hi,

old post reopened, but i'm struggling to get my Huawei 303 to work on the Yun.

Problem is, that i can't seem to be able to do the modeswitch to set the modem from
mass storage device to modem.
I'm using Putty as SSH but in every folder i try, 'usb-modeswitch' gives me a 'not found'.
aldo the package is said to be 'up to date' when i try to install it. Tried to remove and reinstall
which he does but still i can't use the modeswitch. anyone knowing in what folder this should
be located ?

16

this is my logread output when plugged in, and dmesg afterwards. There don't seem to be any USB assignment. :~

It looks like modeswitch is active
Sep 7 19:34:32 Arduino user.notice usb-modeswitch: 1-1.1:1.0: Selecting /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1f01 for mode switching

Indeed, but not able to set it to the correct id for switching

The only way i got it working was to disable the cdrom mode on my windows pc following these instructions :

http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/507680-Huawei-HiLink-modems-(E303-E3131-etc-)?p=10250878&viewfull=1#post10250878

now the device is correctly recognized,

new problem is a faulty 3G.chat script, every AT command works fine, only the last one to connect :

OK "ATD99*1#"
or
OK "ATD99#"

gives me ERROR.. hmm...

connect script :
ABORT BUSY
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
ABORT ERROR
REPORT CONNECT
TIMEOUT 10
"" "AT&F"
OK "ATE1"
OK 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.proximus.be"'
SAY "Calling UMTS/EDGE/GPRS"
TIMEOUT 30
OK "ATD99**1#"
CONNECT ''

For everyone who has, like me, been struggling for ages to get the Huawei E303 to work on a
Yun, here's how i got it working : attach the dongle to the yun,

use lsusb to see normally this :

Bus 003 Device 008: ID 12d1:1f01 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

root@Arduino:~# /usr/bin/curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pictux/Yun_3g/master/linino_set3g.sh -o /tmp/linino_set3g.sh
root@Arduino:~# /bin/chmod +x /tmp/linino_set3g.sh
root@Arduino:~# /tmp/linino_set3g.sh -p -a -d /dev/ttyUSB0

every needed file is installed this way , and the network connection is set up.

Create a file /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf and edit with :

#Huawei E303
DefaultVendor = 0x12d1
DefaultProduct = 0x1f01

Edit the file /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1f01 :

#Huawei E303
DefaultVendor= 0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1f01
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
RargetProduct= 0x1f01
MessageEndPoint = "0x01"
MessageContent="55534243000000000000000000000011060000000000000000000000000000"
NoDriverLoading=1

Reboot the system. Check with lusb to see this :

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem

Your modem should be online if everything is configured ok (APN , PIN if needed etc..)

Hope i could help someone out with this information. I had been searching the net for over a week.
