Aha, the console output comes in via the Thingy's USB... that was not obvious to me.

Nice to be able to get console without the DK though!

Thank you!

Hi Jesper,

Please make sure you have the Thingy:91 connected correctly:

Then try to turn OFF and then ON the Thingy:91 since it could have gone into some kind of power-saving mode.

Then the thingy should be on the list:

I am adding the precompiled at_client for thingy for your convenience: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../thingy91_5F00_at_5F00_client.hex

Please update the device with the Programmer app.

Hi Martin,

I unchecked the "Auto device/port filter" checkbox and I could then choose any of the /dev/ttyACM(0-2) ports (see screenshot below).

Which one would be the Thingy (or other cable-connected device)?

ttyACM0 still shows the output from the DK and on both ttyACM1 and ttyACM2 I get the "NRF52840 board control... uptime..."-message every 10 seconds.

I did program the at_client.hex onto the Thingy by the way, and the modem firmware (if related at all) is 1.0.0.

Best regards

Jesper

Hi Jesper,

You can use "LTE Link Monitor" for this. Just de-select the "Auto device/port filter".

Then you should be able to select the COM port from the top left corner.

I am adding two pre-compiled hex files so you can easily program them to the THingy91 via the Programmer app.
