You need to make sure your RockBLOCK is outside with a clear view of the sky (ensuring the antenna is facing up!).

the AT+CSQ command always returns 0. What can it be? Do I need to do any type of registration before trying to send a message?

Thanks!

When I was running this code , the output message was “rockBlockTxFailed” ! This have some relationship with signal strength?

OBS:When i execute the command AT+CSQ this return 0

This feature depends on a number of factors (e.g. RockBLOCK must transmit regularly, remain powered and retain a clear view of the sky at all times etc). My Python library doesn’t currently fully support this feature, but I hope to add better support for it in the future!

I am trying to understand the operation of the ring indicator, does it do something when there is a message waiting? I don’t see the state change during any testing?

works like a charm now :)

It looks like an Exception is being thrown during initial connection; so I would guess that it cannot open the port correctly.

Indeed, this line looks to be to blame: rockBlock.rockBlock(“/dev/ttyS0 19200″, self)

Try without specifying the baud-rate and it should work fine:

rockBlock.rockBlock(“/dev/ttyS0″, self)
