the long wait
09/15/2018 at 00:35 • 0 commentsmy long wait for the PCBs and QUECTEL modules is about to end, I've been thinking about the deadlines and oh man! if deadlines had stayed on September 10th I would no chance to finish the project.
It seems that the modules and pcb's just arrived to TX US and are in transit to MTY MX I'm very excited.

the firmware situation
08/20/2018 at 16:26 • 0 commentsafter consulting the firmware situation with my pillow, I decided start writing the code on a MCU of the same family (RL78G13) so when the device arrives to me, I just make a new project, copy the code and modify the files for inputs and outputs.
There only a few days left for this crazy and fun contest ends, so, I will write a test code very very basic but as functional as possible.

problems and solutions
08/19/2018 at 21:06 • 0 commentsI had some problems to get the BC68 module from dealers in my country, fortunately I know some guys that works on QUECTEL and by the last 4 days I've been trying get the module directly from QUECTEL headquarters, finally they told me "OK we will send to you a module" Im so happy, the module heads to the PCB manufacturer and then comes to me.
it's time to start thinking about the firmware.
