Wio LTE Cat.1

Introduction

Wio Tracker (Wireless Input Output) is an open source gateway which enable faster IoT GPS solutions. It is Arduino and Grove compatible development boards that helps you track nearly any moving thing on the planet and then upload that data wirelessly. The Wio LTE is the LTE version of Wio Tracker, so now we’ve got 2 versions of Wio Tracker and the LTE (4G) version will make some differences.

There are three main updates comparing the Wio LTE to the 2G version. Firstly, from its name we know that the Wio LTE supports LTE (4G) communication which is much faster and popular than 2G. Secondly, the Wio LTE supports in total 4 different GNSS – GPS, Beidou, GLONSS and Galileo, the QZSS is also supported as bonus. With more GNSS support, positioning will be more accurate. Thirdly, the Wio LTE‘s MCU is upgraded to STM32, which is based on Cortex-M4, makes the Wio LTE 5 times faster than the 2G version. What’s more, the flash and RAM have also been raised to 1Mbytes and 192+4k bytes.

Apart from the three main updates, the LTE version is almost the same as the 2G version. If your project is using the 2G version, it would be very easy to update to the LTE version because we have prepared transplantable and expansible AT command library. The Arduino and Grove compatibility allows for quicker development through numerous libraries and a supportive community. The GPS library which will be available with the board is not just limited to Arduino – it can function just as well if you chose to develop in C/C++. With the onboard 6 Grove connections, developers can create any combination of our 180+ sensors and actuators to build project and solve any problem. Simplifying the prototyping and development phase is our goal.

The Wio LTE is well suited for outdoor projects where the device can connect to the GPS satellites and provide a real-time location of the item it is attached to. The LTE provides a wide bandwidth which allows much faster interaction between the user and device. If you are going to build projects like a bicycle sharing service, tracking pets or livestock, locating a vehicle, or even keeping track of a child, the Wio LTE is the best solution.

Warning

Please always plug 3.7V Lipo battery in case USB power supply is not sufficient.

Getting Started

Install USB driver

  • Windows Users: Most versions of Windows won’t automatically load the built-in driver for USB com ports. You’ll have to download ST’s USB driver:

    • Non-Windows XP Users download version 1.4.0 drivers. Unzip the file, run the executable, and then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\Software\Virtual comport driver in Windows Explorer and double-click either dpinst_amd64.exe for 64 bit systems, or dpinst_x86.exe for 32 bit.

    • Windows XP Users download version 1.3.1 drivers. Unzip the file, run VCP_V1.3.1_Setup.exe, and then go to C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\Software\Virtual comport driver in Windows Explorer and double-click the executable.

  • Linux users to ensure that you have the correct permissions to connect as a normal user you’ll need to copy the file 45-espruino.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d, reload rules with udevadm control –reload-rules, and ensure your user is in the plugdev group (you can check by typing groups). You add it by typing sudo adduser $USER plugdev and then logging out and back in. Arch Linux users need to add their user to uucp and lock groups instead.

  • Mac OS X and Chromebook Users: The board will just plug in and work, without drivers!

Change DFU driver

For windows users: Press and hold BOOT button and connect to computer you will see STM32 Device in DFU Mode at device manager, this says that you need to use zadig_xx.exe to change DFU driver from STTub30 to WinUSB as bellow.

Update Firmware

  • Step 1: Download WioLTE firmware v1.93 or look for espruino_xxx_Wio_LTE.bin here (v1.94 didn’t support SD card, please download v1.93).
  • Step 2: Install dfu-util, add dfu-util to PATH or Environment Variables, so that we can use it directlly in command line.
  • Step 3: Press and hold BOOT0 button before connect to computer, release after connect.
  • Step 4: The Wio LTE board will access DFU mode.
  • Step 5: In command line windows type dfu-util -d 0483:df11 -c 1 -i 0 -a 0 -s 0x08000000 -D xxx.bin. For windows, Please enter the full path of the bin file.

dfu-flash

Play with Javascript

Thanks to G.Williams for providing Espruino the Javascript interpreter, so that we can prototype things with Javascript.

Install Espruino web IDE

Espruino Web IDE

How to use Espruino Web IDE

  • Step 1: Connect the Wio LTE board to computer using a micro USB cable. On device manager you can see a new COM Port device, on MacOS it is STM32 Virtual ComPort, on windows it is STMicroelectronic Virtual COM Port.

  • Step 2: On the Web IDE click the left top icon, choose Espruino board in the select box.

  • Step 3: To learn more about the IDE, please click help and then tour as below.

How to load modules

In Espruino, Modules are pieces of pre-written code (libraries) that perform common tasks, such as interfacing to different bits of hardware.

They can currently be used in a few different ways:

Espruino Web IDE

If you’re using the Espruino Web IDE, simply write require(“modulename”) on the right-hand side - as you would have seen in the reference pages. When you click the Send to Espruino button, the Web IDE will automatically look online for minified versions of the modules you need, download them, and load them onto the board. You don’t need an SD card or an internet connection to the Espruino board itself.

Load Module - the default mechanism

If you are using the Web IDE as is, the modules will be loaded from http://www.espruino.com/modules/. This URL can be changed in Web IDE settings.

To save space, most modules are provided as a minified version and the Web IDE tries to load minified versions first with default configuration.

For example, using require(“ADNS5050”); will make the Web IDE loading the minified module from http://www.espruino.com/modules/ADNS5050.min.js.

Load Module from Github

For now, as you can type a URL into require, you can actually just pull a module right off GitHub:

require("https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoDocs/blob/master/devices/PCD8544.js");

You can even look at the history of something on GitHub, and can then require a specific version of that file with:

require("https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoDocs/blob/d4996cb3179abe260c030ed02bcb0d2384db6bbd/devices/PCD8544.js");

The URL comes from clicking <> by the commit you were interested in.

Load Module from NPM

If you activate this option in Web IDE, you can load modules from the NPM repository. Right now it:

  • only loads the latest version there.
  • only works if the module contains a single file.
  • can cause some confusion with Espruino’s modules, for instance clock.

For example using require(“async”); will make the Web IDE loading the tar.gz file (with automatic extraction) of the module from http://registry.npmjs.org/async.

Load Module from local folder

If you are using a local project folder, the Web IDE will automatically create an empty modules folder inside. Put a module there and you can load it with require(“myCustomModule”);.

With default Web IDE configuration, it will look for modules following this order:

  • local minified
  • online minified
  • local normal
  • online normal

If your own module has the same name as one of the existing ones, the Web IDE will use the minified version from online first.

If you need it anyway, you can provide a local minified version or you can change the Web IDE configuration from .min.js|.js to .js|.min.js or even myCustomModule.js|.min.js|.js to get it working.

Stand-alone Espruino

If you have an Espruino with an SD card (but you’re not using the Web IDE), you can copy the modules you need into a directory called ‘node_modules’ on the SD card. Now, whenever you write require(“modulename”) the module will be used.

Internet-enabled Espruino

Right now there isn’t a way to make Espruino automatically load a module from the internet when required without the Web IDE. This may be added in the future, but the fact that require is synchronous while network connections are asynchronous makes this difficult to do reliably until yield is added into the interpreter.

Until then, the following asyncronous code will dynamically load a module from the internet on demand.

function loadModule(moduleName, callback) {
  require("http").get("http://www.espruino.com/modules/"+moduleName+".js", function(res) {
    var contents = "";
    res.on('data', function(data) { contents += data; });
    res.on('close', function() {
      Modules.addCached(moduleName, contents);
      if (callback) callback();
    });
  }).on('error', function(e) {
    console.log("ERROR", e);
  });
}

Play with Onboard RGB LED

  • Step 1. Config the R, G, B numbers, the arrange is 0~255.
  • Step 2. Copy the code to IDE and upload to board.
  • Step 3. The on board RBG LED will be turned on.
WioLTE.setLEDPower(true);
WioLTE.LED(r,g,b); // please modify the RGB to values with range 0..255)

// Dynamic colors show
WioLTE.setLEDPower(true);

var rgb = new Uint8ClampedArray(3);
var pos = 0;
function getPattern() {
  pos++;
  for (var i=0;i<rgb.length;) {
    rgb[i++] = (1 + Math.sin((i+pos)*0.1324)) * 10;
    rgb[i++] = (1 + Math.sin((i+pos)*0.1654)) * 10;
    rgb[i++] = (1 + Math.sin((i+pos)*0.1)) * 10;
  }
  return rgb;
}
setInterval(function() {
  var color = getPattern();
  WioLTE.LED(color[0], color[1], color[2]);
}, 100);

Play with SD Card

Note: espruino firmware v1.94 is not support SD card drive, please use v1.93 or v1.96(May not released) - Step 1. Plug a micro SD card to the card slot - Step 2. Copy the code to Espruino IDE and upload it.

var fs = require('fs');

// Init SDCard
WioLTE.init;

// List files
console.log('List files on root path:\r\n', fs.readdirSync());
// Write file  
fs.writeFileSync("hello.txt", "Hello World");
// read file
console.log(fs.readFileSync("hello.txt"));

Welcome to the new documentation system of Seeed Studio. We have made a lot of progress comparing to the old wiki system and will continue to improve it to make it more user friendly and helpful. The improvement can't be done without your kindly feedback. If you have any suggestions or findings, you are most welcome to submit the amended version as our contributor via Github or give us suggestions in the survey below, it would be more appreciated if you could leave your email so that we can reply to you. Happy Hacking!
