Communication With SIM800L

Hi, 
I am trying to communicate SIM800L with nRF52840. I am using nRF5_SDK_17.0.0_9d13099\examples\peripheral\libuarte.
I am not getting where I should set simple AT command and check response.(Using PuTTY terminal for a response.)

Here is the code. Can you guide how can I send and receive commands? Also is there any exmple code for sending AT commands?

Thanks

  • That's an Arduino library - so you'd have to port it to the nRF5 SDK.

    Again, AT Commands are just text strings - so start by practicing sending text strings, then receiving text strings, etc ...

    https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/75447/how-to-send-sensor-data-using-at-commands-to-a-device-using-uart-in-segger-embedded-studio/311020#311020

  • Hi

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Again, AT Commands are just text strings - so start by practicing sending text strings, then receiving text strings, etc ...

    Can you please provide a sample code to send the string and receive? I have searched but those are not working. Thanks again 

  • I am following this link code but getting the following error.
