I have tried to follow the “getting started” here: Getting Started with Clipper HAT Mini with 2 different zero’s, one just a zero and one a zero 2w.
Both attempts fail at the the minicom stage: I am unable to type “at” into the console. On the status line at the bottom it remains “Offline”.
On the zero 2w, I get text in the terminal
Welcome to minicom 2.8
OPTIONS: I18n
Port /dev/ttyS0, 16:31:20
Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys
+CGEV: ME PDN ACT 8,1
CGEV: ME PDN DEACT 8
+CGEV: ME PDN ACT 8,1
+CGEV: ME PDN DEACT 8
+CGEV: ME PDN ACT 8,1
+CGEV: ME PDN DEACT 8
+CGEV: ME PDN ACT 8,1
which just seems to repeat indefinitely. On the plane zero I get nothing.
I have checked that the sim card (from talk mobile) works with my mobile phone. I have also tried just moving on with the steps in the guide but I don’t get my ppp network interface showing on either zero.
Edit: Orange light is on and green light is flashing.
Now, I’m at a loss as to what to try next. Any help would be grand thanks.
