If it cannot be written, or the USB device keeps flashing, please check the FAQ below
Writing as a beginner
When opening the Arduino IDE, you will be prompted that there are new libraries that can be updated. Please do not click update. There is no guarantee that it can be compiled, run, etc. after the update. Make sure that the board is running normally before deciding whether to update. You have to Know that problems may occur after updating due to library differences, or the default configuration (such as TinyGSM) will be overwritten.
If it runs abnormally after the update, please follow Article 4 of the Arduino Quick Start to delete the directory in libraries, and drag the folder in lib into the libraries directory again.
5οΈβ£ Notes for new Users <T-A7670X/T-A7608X>
The A7670G does not have a built-in GPS modem, regardless of whether the motherboard contains a GPS connector.
The following does not apply to T-Call-A7670
Pin VIN is a USB input, if a battery is being used to power the device there will be no voltage output from VIN meaning 3.3v is the only power output.
When using the built-in battery pack the on/off switch will function as normal, supplying/cutting off power to the board, However, if an external battery pack is used and attached to the VBAT pin the on/off switch will be bypassed meaning the only way to shut off will be to disconnect the batteries.
On/off switch is for battery use only, it will not function when plugged into USB.
Recommended solar panels are 4.4v to 6v DO NOT EXCEED OR BOARD MAY BE DAMAGED
When an SD card in you can not upload software in Arduino IDE since the SD card uses IO2 as CS, the SD card must be removed when uploading a new sketch.
The T-A7670G modem does not contain a GPS positioning component and requires an additional external GPS positioning module to use the positioning function. LilyGo T-A7670G with GPS uses Quectel L76K as the T-A7670G auxiliary positioning function, which requires a part of the IO, please refer to the GPSShield example , How to identify whether you have an external GPS module please see #issues56

Can't upload any sketchοΌPlease enter the upload mode manually.
Connect the board via the USB cable
Press and hold the BOOT button , While still pressing the BOOT button (If there is no BOOT button, you need to use wires to connect GND and IO0 together.)
Press RST button
Release the RST button
Release the BOOT button (If there is no BOOT button, disconnect IO0 from GND.)
Check the silk screen on the board. GPS stands for GPS antenna. Only active GPS antenna can be connected here.
SIM or MAIN, this is the main antenna interface of LTE
AUX This is the diversity antenna for LTE, used to enhance the signal
Solar input voltage range?
4.4 ~ 6V , As long as the voltage matches, the solar panel power is not limited
Can't get location?
Please write the compiled firmware for testing. Please see here for details.
Where can I access solar energy to charge the panel?
Some boards(T-A7670,T-A7608,T-A7670-S3,T-A7608-S3) have their own solar battery input interface, you just need to connect the solar panel correctly according to the polarity.
If the board has an external VBAT pin, you can connect the solar rechargeable battery input to VBAT. Please be careful not to exceed the battery supply voltage, which is usually 4.2V.
If there is no VBAT, you can also connect it to the VBUS Pin, which is the input pin for USB power supply. Connecting it to VBUS will share the 5V of the USBC. Please note that when connecting an external charger, disconnect the USBC or disconnect the solar energy. enter
How to use voice call example?
Voice calls require external welding of the condenser microphone and speaker. Generally, the board silk screen is marked SPK. The speaker needs to be welded, and the MIC silk screen position needs to weld the condenser microphone.
SIM767XG sendSMS and VoiceCall?
Although the manual of SIM767XG states that it has the functions of making voice calls and sending text messages, the current firmware does not support it.
Unable to detect SIMCard?
All SIM series need to insert the SIMCard into the board first and then power on to detect the SIM card. If the order is reversed, it will report that the SIMCard cannot be detected.
