7. Solució De Problemes

  • Funcionalitat GPS: If you are using an A7670G module and GPS is not working, ensure an external GPS antenna is properly connected to the GNSS holder. A7670E/SA variants have built-in GPS.
  • Simultaneous GPS and GPRS/Internet: Some users have reported limitations with simultaneous GPS and GPRS/Internet usage on similar modules. Refer to the official GitHub repository for the latest software updates and community discussions regarding this functionality.
  • External Wi-Fi Antenna: The ESP32 has an on-board Wi-Fi antenna. The board design does not typically support an external Wi-Fi antenna connection.
  • El mòdul no respon: Ensure the board is properly powered and the correct USB driver is installed on your computer. Check the GitHub repository for specific driver requirements for your operating system.

8. Consells d'usuari

  • Especificacions del model: Always verify the specific A7670 variant (G, E, or SA) you have, as features like GPS (built-in vs. external) and regional band support differ.
  • Gestió d'energia: When using an 18650 battery, remember to use the battery switch to conserve power when the board is not in use.
  • Nano SIM Only: Double-check that you are using a Nano SIM card for proper fit and function.
  • Suport comunitari: The LILYGO community and GitHub repository are excellent resources for project ideas, code examples, and troubleshooting assistance.

9. Garantia i Suport
