GPS-Data from SIM7600E


I need help with my GSM-module. I am using the SIM7600E-4G-HAT module from Waveshare and I am unable to recieve GPS-Data by using the AT-Commands from the manual. The GPS-Antenna is connected to GNSS at the board. I am interfacing the module with the Arduino IDE (Serial-Monitor) and tried the following:

14:40:54.375 -> at

14:40:54.375 -> OK
14:40:57.410 -> at+cgps?

14:40:57.410 -> +CGPS: 0,1
14:40:57.410 -> 
14:40:57.410 -> OK
14:41:08.326 -> at+cgps=1,1

14:41:08.326 -> OK
14:41:13.367 -> at+cgpsinfo

14:41:13.367 -> +CGPSINFO: ,,,,,,,,
14:41:13.367 -> 
14:41:13.367 -> OK
14:45:02.691 -> at+cgpsinfo

14:45:02.691 -> +CGPSINFO: ,,,,,,,,
14:45:02.691 -> 
14:45:02.691 -> OK
14:45:04.026 -> at+cgpsinfo

14:45:04.026 -> +CGPSINFO: ,,,,,,,,
14:45:04.026 -> 
14:45:04.026 -> OK
14:45:04.991 -> at+cgpsinfo

14:45:04.991 -> +CGPSINFO: ,,,,,,,,
14:45:04.991 -> 
14:45:04.991 -> OK

Previously I was able to get the GPS-Data, but it stopped working somehow. I already thought that either the GPS-Antenna could be broken or I messed up some setting by the AT-Commands. Here are links to all AT-Commands and to the Manual:

Solution

  • I've finally solved the problem. The coaxial cable was defect, so I replaced it and now it works. I don't know the exact reason for this, it could've been due to the HF or no contact.
