1. Introduction

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is a 60x58mm electronic module enabling you to drive other Yoctopuce modules through a cellular connection of the 3G GSM type (UMTS and HSPA). The radio module supports the two GSM frequency bands 850MHz and 1900MHz used in North America, the Caribbeans, and Latin America.1


The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is designed to be easily deployed and to not require any specific maintenance. In the opposite to a mini-computer, it does not have a complex operating system. Settings can be modified manually or automatically through USB. Therefore, the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is much more suited to industrialization than a mini-computer. However, you cannot run additional software written by the user on the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA.

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is not a standard USB hub with network access. Although it uses USB cables, its down ports use a proprietary protocol, much simpler than USB. It is therefore not possible to control, or even to power, standard USB devices with a YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA.

Yoctopuce thanks you for buying this YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA and sincerely hopes that you will be satisfied with it. The Yoctopuce engineers have put a large amount of effort to ensure that your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is easy to install anywhere and easy to use in any circumstance. If you are nevertheless disappointed with this device, do not hesitate to contact Yoctopuce support2.

1.1. Optional accessories

The accessories below are not strictly necessary, but they might help you to get the better of your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA.

Screws and spacers

In order to mount the Yocto-3D module, you can put small screws in the 3mm assembly holes, with a screw head no larger than 8mm. The best way is to use threaded spacers, which you can then mount wherever you want. You can find more details on this topic in the chapter about assembly and connections.

USB MicroB-MicroB cable

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA connectivity is mainly achieved through USB microB connectors. This means you will have to use USB cables with a microB connector on both ends. These cables are not very common, but you can order some from the Yoctopuce online shop3.

1.27mm pitch connector

USB cable are very handy to quickly interconnect Yoctopuce devices. However, these use a lot of space. That's why there is, on the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA PCB, a small footprint for 1.27 or 1.25mm pitch connectors near each USB connector. Soldering 1.27 pitch connector on these footprints allows to use a much more compact wiring. These 1.27mm connectors are quite standard and can be ordered from any electronic shop. Yoctopuce sells the 1.27-1.27-11 product, which is a set of connector with a 11cm long cable.

YoctoHub-Shield

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA features three down ports allowing to connect up to three sub-devices. However this capacity can be raised, thanks to the YoctoHub-Shield. Each shield add 4 new ports, and up to 10 shields can be daisy-chained to your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA. See the YoctoHub-Shield documentation for more details.


The YoctoHub-Shield adds more ports to your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA.

Enclosures

Your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA has been designed to be installed as is in your project. Nevertheless, Yoctopuce sells enclosures specifically designed for Yoctopuce devices. More details are available on the Yoctopuce web site. The suggested enclosure model for your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is the YoctoBox-HubWlan-Transp.


Your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA can be installed in an enclosure.

2.1. The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA components

Serial number

Each Yocto-module has a unique serial number assigned to it at the factory. For YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA modules, this number starts with YHUBGSM4. The module can be software driven using this serial number. The serial number cannot be modified.

Logical name

The logical name is similar to the serial number: it is a supposedly unique character string which allows you to reference your module by software. However, in the opposite of the serial number, the logical name can be modified at will. The advantage is to enable you to build several copies of the same project without needing to modify the driving software. You only need to program the same logical name in each copy. Warning: the behavior of a project becomes unpredictable when it contains several modules with the same logical name and when the driving software tries to access one of these modules through its logical name. When leaving the factory, modules do not have an assigned logical name. It is yours to define.

Yocto-button

The Yocto-button has two functionalities. First, it can activate the Yocto-beacon mode (see below under Yocto-led). Second, if you plug in a Yocto-module while keeping this button pressed, you can then reprogram its firmware with a new version. Note that there is a simpler UI-based method to update the firmware, but this one works even if the firmware on the module is incomplete or corrupted.

Yocto-led

Normally, the Yocto-led is used to indicate that the module is working smoothly. The Yocto-led then emits a low blue light which varies slowly, mimicking breathing. The Yocto-led stops breathing when the module is not communicating any more, as for instance when powered by a USB hub which is disconnected from any active computer.

When you press the Yocto-button, the Yocto-led switches to Yocto-beacon mode. It starts flashing faster with a stronger light, in order to facilitate the localization of a module when you have several identical ones. It is indeed possible to trigger off the Yocto-beacon by software, as it is possible to detect by software that a Yocto-beacon is on.

The Yocto-led has a third functionality, which is less pleasant: when the internal software which controls the module encounters a fatal error, the Yocto-led starts emitting an SOS in morse 4. If this happens, unplug and re-plug the module. If it happens again, check that the module contains the latest version of the firmware and, if it is the case, contact Yoctopuce support5.

Power / Control port

This port allows you to power the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA and the modules connected to it with a simple USB charger. This port also allows you to control the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA by USB, exactly like you can do it with a classic Yoctopuce module. It is particularly useful when you want to configure the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA without knowing its IP address.

Down ports

You can connect up to three Yoctopuce modules on these ports. They will then be available as if they were connected to a computer running a VirtualHub. Note that the protocol used between the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA and the USB modules is not USB but a lighter proprietary protocol. Therefore, the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA cannot manage devices other than Yoctopuce devices. A standard USB hub does not work either6. If you want to connect more than three Yoctopuce modules, just connect one or more YoctoHub-Shield7 to the back ports.

Warning: the USB connectors are simply soldered in surface and can be pulled out if the USB plug acts as a lever. In this case, if the tracks stayed in position, the connector can be soldered back with a good iron and flux to avoid bridges. Alternatively, you can solder a USB cable directly in the 1.27mm-spaced holes near the connector.

The SIM card holder

To connect the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA to a GSM cellular network, you must insert in your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA a SIM card, combined with a subscription allowing data transfers. The SIM card holder is designed for the most standard mini-SIM format, also called known as 2FF. Adaptors enabling the use Micro-SIM or Nano-SIM cards, can be found in any mobile phone store. The SIM card holder is of the push-push type: push to insert the SIM until it is in position and makes a small click. To remove the SIM card, don't pull it but push it a second time to eject it from the holder.

You must insert the SIM card with the metal contacts against the printed circuit.

Antenna connector

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA includes an ultra miniature coaxial antenna connector (UFL). Take great care of the UFL connector. It is fragile and is not designed to support many connection/deconnection cycles. The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is sold with a small UFL cable to RP-SMA socket8 and a corresponding RP-SMA plug antenna9. You can use another antenna of your choice, as long as it is designed for the frequency range used in your country for GSM and it has the correct connector. Beware also that using a high-gain antenna may drive you to emit a signal stronger than the authorized norm in your country.


Antenna connection

Overload led

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA continuously monitors its power consumption. If it detects a global consumption of more that 2A, following an overload on one of the down ports for example, it automatically disables all the down ports and lights the overload led. To isolate the source of the issue, you can reactivate the ports one by one, monitoring the power consumption increase. Alternatively, if you know the source of the overload issue and know to have solved it, you can restart the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA to enable all its ports at once.

Note that the overload led is a protection measure which can prevent overheating, but it is not a protection guarantee against shorts.

Sleep

On average, the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA consumes about 0.5 Watt (100mA), to which you must add the connected modules consumption. But it is able to get into sleep to reduce its power consumption to a strict minimum, and to wake up at a precise time or when an outside contact is closed. This feature is very useful to build measuring installations working on a battery. When the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is in sleep mode, most of the electronics of the module as well as the connected Yoctopuce modules are switched off. This reduces the total consumption to 75 µW (15 µA).

Switching to sleep and waking up can be programmed based on a schedule, controlled by software, or controlled manually with two push buttons located on the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA circuit. You can find there two pairs of contacts which enable you to shunt these two buttons.


Sleep and wake up button deviation.

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA includes a switch with which you can disable the sleep mode at the hardware level. This functionality is particularly useful when developing and debugging your project, as well as when updating the firmware.

3. First steps

The aim of this chapter is to help you connect and configure your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA for the first time.

3.1. Manual configuration

You can configure your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA through its USB control port, by using the VirtualHub10.

Run the VirtualHub on your preferred computer and connect it to the power / control port of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA. You need a USB A-MicroB cable.


Configuration: connecting your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA by USB to a computer

Launch your preferred browser on the URL of your VirtualHub. It usually is http://127.0.0.1:4444. You obtain the list of Yoctopuce modules connected by USB, among which your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA.


List of Yoctopuce modules connected by USB to your computer, among which your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA

Click on the configure button corresponding to your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA. You obtain the module configuration window. This window contains a Network configuration section.


YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA module configuration window

Connection to the GSM cellular network

The first thing you must do is to configure your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA so that it connects itself to your GSM network. To do so, click on the edit button corresponding to GSM configuration in the Network configuration section and the GSM cellular network configuration window opens:


GSM cellular network configuration window

You can then enter the PIN code corresponding to the SIM card inserted in the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA if need be, and select with which provider you want to work.

In most cases, the SIM card "knows" the provider it is designed for and you can simply keep the automatic selection. However, near country borders, the card may wish to use a more powerful but foreign signal, more expensive to use. To prevent this, you can select the provider of your local network manually.

You can also specify in your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA the context in which you want to enable the IP connection data transfer. You can either completely disable it if you are only interested in SMS use11, or activate it on the SIM card network only, or even allow data use on other networks (roaming). Take care if you activate this latest option, because it can quickly generate significant costs!

Depending on your SIM card and on your cellular service provider, you may have to configure an APN (Access Point Name), corresponding to the Internet gateway on your cellular network. It is an arbitrary name, assigned by your provider, to which you must sometimes add a user name and a password. It is impossible to list in this user's guide the APN name to be used with each provider. But if you do a search on the Internet with the name of your cellular service provider and the "APN" keyword, you will very easily find the APN name to use as well as the potential user name and password. The apnchanger.org web site contains this information for the main providers in many countries.

Warning: you have only three chances to enter the correct PIN code, if you fail to do so, you will have to resest the SIM card with its PUK code.

When you have entered the network parameters and potentially tested them, click on the Ok button to close this configuration window and come back to the main configuration window.

Difference between a GSM network and a standard network

Important: The GSM cellular network to which your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is connected is not strictly equivalent to a standard Internet connection. Indeed, the IP address assigned to a cellular modem is almost always a non routed IP address. The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA sees the whole Internet network, but Internet does not have a public address to contact it. This means that you cannot connect yourself remotely on your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA from any computer, by simply typing its IP address in a web browser.

One of the solutions to solve this issue is to obtain from your cellular service provided a SIM card enabling a direct connection through a virtual private network.

Using a virtual private network

Some cellular service providers can conditionally provide a GSM connection with an internet link to a private address range, which is dedicated to you. This type of connection, dedicated to the machine-to-machine services, is generally restricted to businesses. It allows you to connect yourself remotely (through a virtual private network) to your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA, which is otherwise impossible because each cellular phone is normally implicitly isolated behind a NAT filter.

If you do have such a connection, you can configure which IP address must be assigned to the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA, and which IP address is authorized to contact it (firewall function). To do so, click on the edit opposite to the IP addressing line. It is essential to configure these parameters correctly to be able to contact your module through its IP address. Otherwise, the firewall blocks any incoming connection.

3.2. Device state window

It is possible to check the device general state, such as logical name, Network state, Hub ports states etc. Juste go back to the device list.

Click on the serial number corresponding to your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA. This opens your module property window:


The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA properties

This window contains a section indicating the state of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA network part. You can find there its MAC address, current IP address, and network name. This section also provides the state of the network connection. Possible states are:

If your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA does indeed go into the WWW Ready state, it means that your internet cellular connection works correctly. You can then perform the next steps: Connect the wanted Yoctopuce modules (sensors and/or actuators) and configure the interactions with the outside.

3.3. Automated configuration

You can industrialize the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA network configuration. You can find in the following chapters of this documentation the description of the programming functions enabling you to read the Ethernet address (MAC address) of a module, and to configure all of its network parameters.

The network configuration functions are also available as command lines, using the YNetwork utility software available in the command line programming library 12.

After having set some parameters by software, make sure to call the saveToFlash() function to ensure that the new settings are saved permanently in the module flash memory.

3.4. Connections

Power supply

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA must be powered by the USB control socket.

USB

Simply connect a USB charger in the power / control port port, but make sure that the charger provides enough electric power. The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA consumes about 100mA, to which you must add the power consumption of each submodule. The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is designed to manage a maximum of 2A. Therefore, we recommend a USB charger able to deliver at least 2A. Moreover, you must make sure that the total power consumption of the set "hub + submodules" does not go above this limit.


The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA can be powered by a regular USB charger

Sub-modules

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is able to drive all the Yoctopuce modules of the Yocto range. These modules can be directly connected to the down ports. They are automatically detected. For this, you need Micro-B Micro-B USB cables. Whether you use OTG cables or not does not matter.


Connecting sub-modules with USB cables

Alternatively, you can connect your modules by directly soldering electric cables between the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA and its sub-modules. Indeed, all the Yoctopuce modules have contacts designed for direct cabling. We recommend you to use solid coper ribbon cables, with a 1.27mm pitch. Solid copper ribbon cable is less supple than threaded cable but easier to solder. Pay particular attention to polarity: the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA, like all modules in the Yoctopuce range, is not protected against polarity inversion. Such an inversion would likely destroy your devices. Make sure the positions of the square contacts on both sides of the cable correspond.


Sub-module connection with ribbon cable

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is designed so that you can fix a single width module directly on top of it. To do so, you need screws, spacers13, and a 1.27mm pitch connector14. You can thus transform your USB Yoctopuce module into a network module while keeping a very compact format.


Fixing a module directly on the hub

Beware, the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is designed to drive only Yoctopuce modules. Indeed, the protocol used between the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA and the sub-modules is not USB but a much lighter proprietary protocol. If, by chance, you connect a device other than a Yoctopuce module on one of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA down ports, this port is automatically disabled to prevent damages to the device.

4. Assembly

This chapter provides important information regarding the use of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA module in real-world situations. Make sure to read it carefully before going too far into your project if you want to avoid pitfalls.

4.1. Fixing

While developing your project, you can simply let the hub hang at the end of its cable. Check only that it does not come in contact with any conducting material (such as your tools). When your project is almost at an end, you need to find a way for your modules to stop moving around.


Examples of assembly on supports

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA module contains 3mm assembly holes. You can use these holes for screws. The screw head diameter must not be larger than 8mm or the heads will damage the module circuits.

Make sure that the lower surface of the module is not in contact with the support. We recommend using spacers. You can fix the module in any position that suits you: however be aware that the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA electronic components, in particular the network part, generate heat. You must not let this heat accumulate.

4.2. Fixing a sub-module

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is designed so that you can screw a single width module directly on top of it. By single width, we mean modules with a 20mm width. All the single width modules have their 5 assembly holes and the USB socket in the same position. The sub-module can be assembled with screws and spacers. At the back of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA and sub-module USB connectors, there are a set of 4 contacts enabling you to easily perform an electrical connection between the hub and the sub-module. If you do not feel sufficiently at ease with a soldering iron, you can also use a simple Micro-B Micro-B USB cable, OTG or not.


Fixing a module directly on the hub

Make sure to mount your module on the designed side, as illustrated above. The module 5 holes must correspond to the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA 5 holes, and the square contact on the module must be connected to the square contact on the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA down port. If you assemble a module on the other side or in another way, the connector polarity will be inverted and you risk to permanently damage your equipment.

All the accessories necessary to fix a module on your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA are relatively usual. You can find them on the Yoctopuce web site, as on most web sites selling electronic equipment. However, beware: the head of the screws used to assemble the sub-module must have a maximum head diameter of 4.5mm, otherwise they could damage the electronic components.

5. Interaction with external services

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA can publish the state of connected devices on any web server. The values are posted on a regular basis and each time one of them changes significantly. This feature, named HTTP Callback, enables you to interface your Yoctopuce devices with many web services.

5.1. Configuration

To use this feature, just click on the configure button located on the line matching the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA on the main user interface. Then look for the Outgoing calbacks section and click on the edit button.


Just click on the "Configure" button on the first line.


Then edit the "Outgoing callbacks" section.

The callback configuration window shows up. This window enables you to define how your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA interacts with an external web server. Several interaction types are at your disposal. For each type, a specific wizard will help you enter appropriate parameters

5.2. Emoncms

Emoncms.org is an open-source cloud service where you can register to upload your sensor data. It will let you view your measures in real-time over the Internet, and draw historical graphs, without writing a single line of code. You just have to enter in the configuration window your own API key, as provided by Emoncms, and allocate an arbitrary node number to YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA.

It is also possible to install Emoncms on your own server, to keep control on your data. You will find more explanations about this on Yoctopuce blog15.

Yoctopuce is not affiliated with Emoncms.org.

5.3. Valarm.net

Valarm is a professional cloud service where you can register to upload your sensor data, with some advanced features like remote configuration of Yoctopuce devices and measure geolocation.

Valarm is a reseller for Yoctopuce products, but Yoctopuce is not otherwise affiliated with Valarm.

5.4. Xively (previously Cosm)

Xively is a commercial cloud service where you might be able to register to upload your sensor data. Note that since end of 2014, Xively is focusing on enterprise and OEM customers, and might therefore not be available to everyone. For more details, see xively.com.

Yoctopuce is not affiliated with Xively.

5.5. InfluxDB

InfluxDB is an open-source database for time series, metrics and events. It is very efficient to retrieve measure series for a given time range, even when averaging on-the-fly. You can easily install it on your own computer to record and graph your sensor data. There is a step-by-step guide on how to configure InfluxDB and Grafana to graph Yoctopuce sensors on the Yoctopuce blog 16.

Yoctopuce is not affiliated to InfluxData nor to Grafana.

5.6. PRTG

PRTG is a commercial system, device and application monitoring solution developped by PAESSLER. You can easily install it on windows to record and graph your sensor data. For more details, see www.paessler.com/prtg. Vous pouvez facilement l'installer sur Windows pour enregistrer les mesures et obtenir des graphiques de vos capteurs. Pour plus de détails, voir fr.paessler.com/prtg. There is a step-by-step guide on how to configure PRTG to graph Yoctopuce sensors on the Yoctopuce blog 17.

Yoctopuce is not affiliated to PAESSLER.

5.7. MQTT

MQTT is an "Internet of Things" protocol to push sensor data to a central repository, named MQTT broker. For more details, see mqtt.org. You can also find several examples of use of MQTT on Yoctopuce blog.

5.8. Yocto-API callback

With some programming environments, the full Yoctopuce API can be used to drive devices in HTTP callback mode. This way, a web server script can take control of Yoctopuce devices installed behind a NAT filter without having to open any port. Typically, this allows you to control Yoctopuce devices running on a LAN behind a private DSL router from a public web site. The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA then acts as a gateway. All you have to do is to define the HTTP server script URL and, if applicable, the credentials needed to access it. On the server script, you would initialize the library using the following call:

RegisterHub("http://callback");

There are two possibilities to use the Yoctopuce API in callback mode. The first one, available in PHP, Java and Node.JS is using pure HTTP callbacks. The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA posts its complete state to the server, and receives commands in return from the server script. There are however some limitations with this mode: complex interactions, such as retrieving data from the datalogger, are not possible.

The second mode API callback mode is using WebSocket callbacks. It is currently only available in Java and Node.JS. WebSockets are a standard extension of HTTP, providing a full bidirectional exchange channel over an HTTP connection. When a server script is connected by a YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA over a Websocket callback connection, the full Yoctopuce API can be used, without any limitation.

The GatewayHub webservice, available from Yoctopuce web site, uses this Websocket callback technology to provide remote access to the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA, even in the presence of a NAT filter or firewall. For more information, see Yoctopuce blog18.

5.9. User defined callback

The "User defined callback" allow you to fully customize the way the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA interacts with an external web site. You need to provide the URL of the web server where you want the hub to post data. Note that only HTTP protocol is supported (no HTTPS).


The callback configuration window.

If you want to secure access to your callback script, you can setup a standard HTTP authentication. The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA knows how to handle standard HTTP authentication schemes: simply fill in the user and and password fields needed to access the URL. Both Basic and Digest authentication are supported. However, Digest authentication is highly recommended, since it uses a challenge mechanism that avoids sending the password itself over the Internet, and prevents replays.

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA posts the advertised values19 on a regular basis, and each time one of these values changes significantly. You can change the default delay between posts.

Tests

To help you debug the process, you can visualize with the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA the answer to the callback sent by the web server. Click on the test button when all required fields are filled. When the result meets your expectations, close the debug window and then click on the "Ok" button.

Format

Values are posted in one of the following formats:

1. If the function has been assigned a logical name:

FUNCTION_NAME = VALUE

2. If the module has been assigned a logical name, but not the function:

MODULE_NAME#HARDWARE_NAME = VALUE

3. If no logical name has been set:

SERIAL_NUMBER#HARDWARE_NAME = VALUE

Here is a short PHP script allowing you to visualize the data posted by the callback and the result in the debug window:


<?php
  Print(Date('H:i:s')."\r\n");
  foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) {
      Print("$key=$value\r\n");
  }
?>


Callback test results with a Yocto-PowerRelay and a Yocto-Temperature.

6. Programming

6.1. Accessing connected modules

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA behaves itself exactly like a computer running a VirtualHub. The only difference between a program using the Yoctopuce API with modules in native USB and the same program with Yoctopuce modules connected to a YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is located at the level of the registerHub function call. To use USB modules connected natively, the registerHub parameter is usb. To use modules connected to a YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA, you must simply replace this parameter by the IP address of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA. For instance, in Delphi:


YRegisterHub("usb",errmsg);

becomes


YRegisterHub("192.168.0.10",errmsg); // The hub IP address is 192.168.0.10

6.2. Controlling the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA

From the programming API standpoint, the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is a module like the others. You can perfectly manage it from the Yoctopuce API. To do so, you need the following classes:

Module

This class, shared by all Yoctopuce modules, enables you to control the module itself. You can drive the Yocto-led, know the USB power consumption of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA, and so on.

Network

This class enables you to manage the network part of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA. You can control the link state, read the MAC address, change the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA IP address, know the power consumption on PoE, and so on.

HubPort

This class enables you to manage the hub part. You can enable or disable the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA ports, you can also know which module is connected to which port.

Files

This class enables you to access files stored in the flash memory of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA. The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA contains a small file system which allows you to store, for example, a web application controlling the modules connected to the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA.

WakeMonitor

This class enables you to monitor the sleep mode of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA.

WakeSchedule

This class enables you to schedule one or several wake ups for the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA.

You can find some examples on how to drive the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA by software in the Yoctopuce programming libraries, available free of charge on the Yoctopuce web site.

7. Sleep mode

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA includes a real time clock (RTC) powered by a super capacitor. This capacitor charges itself automatically when the module is powered. But it is able to keep time without any power for several days. This RTC is used to drive a sleep and wake up system to save power. You can configure the sleep system manually through an interface or drive it through software.

7.1. Manual configuration of the wake ups

You can manually configure the wake up conditions by connecting yourself on the interface of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA. In the Wake-up scheduler section of the main configuration window, click on the setup button corresponding to one of the "wakeup-schedule". This opens a window enabling you to schedule more or less regular wake ups. Select the boxes corresponding to the wanted occurrences. Empty sections are ignored.


Wake up configuration window: here every 10 minutes between 9h and 17h.

Likewise, you can configure directly in the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA interface the maximal wake up duration, after which the module automatically goes back to sleep. If your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA is running on batteries, this ensures they do not empty even if no explicit sleep command is received.

7.2. Configuring the wake up system by software

At the programming interface level, the wake up system is implemented with two types of functions: the wakeUpMonitor function and the wakeUpSchedule function.

wakeUpMonitor

The wakeUpMonitor function manages wake ups and sleep periods, proper. It provides all the instant managing functionalities : instant wake up, instant sleep, computing the date of the next wake up, and so on...

The wakeUpMonitor function enables you also to define the maximum duration during which the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA stays awake before automatically going back to sleep.

wakeUpSchedule

The wakeUpSchedule function enables you to program a wake up condition followed by a possible sleep. It includes five variables enabling you to define correspondences on minutes, hours, days of the week, days of the month, and months. These variables are integers where each bit defines a correspondence. Schematically, each set of minutes, hours, and days is represented as a set of boxes with each a coefficient which is a power of two, exactly like in the corresponding interface of the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA.

For example, bit 0 for the hours corresponds to hour zero, bit 1 corresponds to hour 1, bit 2 to hour 2, and so on.


To each box is assigned a power of two

Thus, to program the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA for it to wake up every day at noon, you must set bit 12 to 1, which corresponds to the value 2^12 = 4096.


Example for a wake up at 12h

For the module to wake up at 0 hour, 6 hours, and 12 hours, you must set the 0, 6, and 12 bits to 1, which corresponds to the value 2^0 +2^6 +2^12 = 1 + 64 + 4096 = 4161


Example for wake ups at 0, 6, and 12h

Variables can be combined. For a wake up to happen every day at 6h05, 6h10, 12h05, and 12h10, you must set the hours to 2^6 + 2^12 = 4060, minutes to 2^5 and 2^10 = 1056. Variables remaining at the zero value are ignored.


Example for wake ups at 6H05, 6h10, 12h05, and 12h10

Note that if you want to program a wake up at 6h05 and 12h10, but not at 6h10 and 12h05, you need to use two distinct wakeUpSchedule functions.

This paradigm allows you to schedule complex wake ups. Thus, to program a wake up every first Tuesday of the month, you must set to 1 bit 1 of the days of the week and the first seven bits of the days of the month.


Example for a wake up every first Tuesday of the month

Some programming languages, among which JavaScript, do not support 64 bit integers. This is an issue for encoding minutes. Therefore, minutes are available both through a 64 bit integer minutes and two 32 bit integers minutesA and minutesB. These 32 bit integers are supposed to be available in any current programming language.


Minutes are also available in the shape of two 32 bit integers

The wakeUpSchedule function includes an additional variable to define the duration, in seconds, during which the module stays awake after a wake up. If this variable is set to zero, the modules stays awake.

The YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA includes two wakeUpSchedule functions, enabling you to program up to two independent wake up types.

8. High-level API Reference

This chapter summarizes the high-level API functions to drive your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA. Syntax and exact type names may vary from one language to another, but, unless otherwise stated, all the functions are available in every language. For detailed information regarding the types of arguments and return values for a given language, refer to the definition file for this language (yocto_api.* as well as the other yocto_* files that define the function interfaces).

For languages which support exceptions, all of these functions throw exceptions in case of error by default, rather than returning the documented error value for each function. This is by design, to facilitate debugging. It is however possible to disable the use of exceptions using the yDisableExceptions() function, in case you prefer to work with functions that return error values.

This chapter does not explain Yoctopuce programming concepts, in order to stay as concise as possible. You will find more details in the documentation of the devices you plan to connect to your YoctoHub-GSM-3G-NA.

8.1. Class YHubPort

YoctoHub slave port control interface, available for instance in the YoctoHub-Ethernet, the YoctoHub-GSM-3G-EU, the YoctoHub-Shield or the YoctoHub-Wireless-g

The YHubPort class provides control over the power supply for slave ports on a YoctoHub. It provide information about the device connected to it. The logical name of a YHubPort is always automatically set to the unique serial number of the Yoctopuce device connected to it.

In order to use the functions described here, you should include:

Use the method YNetwork.isOnline() to test if the network interface is indeed online at a given time. In case of ambiguity when looking for a network interface by logical name, no error is notified: the first instance found is returned. The search is performed first by hardware name, then by logical name.

If a call to this object's is_online() method returns FALSE although you are certain that the matching device is plugged, make sure that you did call registerHub() at application initialization time.

Parameters :

funca string that uniquely characterizes the network interface, for instance YHUBETH1.network.

Returns :

a YNetwork object allowing you to drive the network interface.

Level zero (DOWN_0) means that no hardware link has been detected. Either there is no signal on the network cable, or the selected wireless access point cannot be detected. Level 1 (LIVE_1) is reached when the network is detected, but is not yet connected. For a wireless network, this shows that the requested SSID is present. Level 2 (LINK_2) is reached when the hardware connection is established. For a wired network connection, level 2 means that the cable is attached at both ends. For a connection to a wireless access point, it shows that the security parameters are properly configured. For an ad-hoc wireless connection, it means that there is at least one other device connected on the ad-hoc network. Level 3 (DHCP_3) is reached when an IP address has been obtained using DHCP. Level 4 (DNS_4) is reached when the DNS server is reachable on the network. Level 5 (WWW_5) is reached when global connectivity is demonstrated by properly loading the current time from an NTP server.

If there is a cached value for the network interface in cache, that has not yet expired, the device is considered reachable. No exception is raised if there is an error while trying to contact the device hosting the network interface.

Returns :

true if the network interface can be reached, and false otherwise

network→isOnline_async()network.isOnline_async()

Checks if the network interface is currently reachable, without raising any error (asynchronous version).

js
function isOnline_async(callback, context)

If there is a cached value for the network interface in cache, that has not yet expired, the device is considered reachable. No exception is raised if there is an error while trying to contact the device hosting the requested function.

This asynchronous version exists only in Javascript. It uses a callback instead of a return value in order to avoid blocking the Javascript virtual machine.

Parameters :

callbackcallback function that is invoked when the result is known. The callback function receives three arguments: the caller-specific context object, the receiving function object and the boolean result
contextcaller-specific object that is passed as-is to the callback function

Returns :

nothing : the result is provided to the callback.

an array of strings, each string containing the unique hardwareId of a device function currently connected.

files→AdvertisedValuefiles.AdvertisedValue

Short string representing the current state of the function.

dnp
string AdvertisedValue

files→FilesCountfiles.FilesCount

Number of files currently loaded in the filesystem.

dnp
int FilesCount

files→FriendlyNamefiles.FriendlyName

Global identifier of the function in the format MODULE_NAME.FUNCTION_NAME.

dnp
string FriendlyName

The returned string uses the logical names of the module and of the function if they are defined, otherwise the serial number of the module and the hardware identifier of the function (for example: MyCustomName.relay1)

files→FunctionIdfiles.FunctionId

Hardware identifier of the filesystem, without reference to the module.

dnp
string FunctionId

For example relay1

files→HardwareIdfiles.HardwareId

Unique hardware identifier of the function in the form SERIAL.FUNCTIONID.

dnp
string HardwareId

The unique hardware identifier is composed of the device serial number and of the hardware identifier of the function (for example RELAYLO1-123456.relay1).

files→IsOnlinefiles.IsOnline

Checks if the function is currently reachable.

dnp
bool IsOnline

If there is a cached value for the function in cache, that has not yet expired, the device is considered reachable. No exception is raised if there is an error while trying to contact the device hosting the function.

files→LogicalNamefiles.LogicalName

Logical name of the function.

dnp
string LogicalName

Writable. You can use yCheckLogicalName() prior to this call to make sure that your parameter is valid. Remember to call the saveToFlash() method of the module if the modification must be kept.

files→SerialNumberfiles.SerialNumber

Serial number of the module, as set by the factory.

dnp
string SerialNumber

files→clearCache()files.clearCache()files→clearCache()[files clearCache]files.clearCache()files.clearCache()files.clearCache()files.clearCache()files.clearCache()files→clearCache()files.clearCache()

php
function describe()
es
async describe()

More precisely, TYPE is the type of the function, NAME it the name used for the first access to the function, SERIAL is the serial number of the module if the module is connected or "unresolved", and FUNCTIONID is the hardware identifier of the function if the module is connected. For example, this method returns Relay(MyCustomName.relay1)=RELAYLO1-123456.relay1 if the module is already connected or Relay(BadCustomeName.relay1)=unresolved if the module has not yet been connected. This method does not trigger any USB or TCP transaction and can therefore be used in a debugger.

Returns :

a string that describes the filesystem (ex: Relay(MyCustomName.relay1)=RELAYLO1-123456.relay1)
