Problem with DFRobot_SIMclient

Trying to compile project that references DFRobot_SIM7000, which in turn references DFRobot_SIM.

Getting compile time errors:
Code: Select all
DFRobot_SIMcore.cpp:7:17: error: invalid conversion from 'Stream*' to 'SoftwareSerial*' [-fpermissive]

Code used (using esp8266):
Code: Select all
#include <Wire.h> #include <DFRobot_SIM7000.h> #define PIN_TX 7 #define PIN_RX 8 SoftwareSerial mySerial; DFRobot_SIM7000 sim7000; void setup(){ Serial.begin(115200); mySerial.begin(115200, PIN_RX, PIN_TX, SWSERIAL_8N1, false); // Default SIM7000 shield baud rate while(!Serial); Serial.println("BEFORE begin()"); sim7000.begin(mySerial); Serial.println("AFTER begin()"); Serial.println("BEFORE turnON()"); sim7000.turnON(); Serial.println("AFTER turnON()"); } void loop(){ Serial.println("INSIDE LOOP"); }

2020-03-31 14:26:08 Thank you. I've updated my code, but it is stuck at "BEFORE turnOn()", i.e. busy turning on.

Code: Select all

#include <Wire.h>
#include <DFRobot_SIM7000.h>

#define PIN_TX     7
#define PIN_RX     8
SoftwareSerial     mySerial (PIN_RX, PIN_TX); 
DFRobot_SIM7000    sim7000;

void setup(){    
    Serial.begin(115200);
    mySerial.begin(9600);

    while(!Serial);

    Serial.println("BEFORE begin()");    
    sim7000.begin(mySerial);  
    Serial.println("AFTER begin()");        
    
    Serial.println("BEFORE turnON()");    
    sim7000.turnON();
    Serial.println("AFTER turnON()");    
}
  
void loop(){
   Serial.println("INSIDE LOOP");
}
