Hello,
I bought the kit METRO and FONA 3G Europe. I have the assembly as on the tutorial but when I launch the program I have this error.
I have not bad to look for the solution on the forum but I do not understand what does not go.
Needs it necessarily a battery so that works?
Here is my assembly:

The FONA requires a battery. The USB power is only for charging the battery - it does NOT power the FONA.

Thanks Rick,
I am going to test that from Wednesday and then I will make a return if everything works well.

You should use at least a 1200mAh LiPo battery:

Re: Couldn't find FONA - METRO FONA 3G
Hi,
I bought on your site a battery, and now I can see the flashed red led (200ms/200ms).
But when I connect my computer on METRO, and start program, it says that he does not find FONA.
I verified the assembly and the welds but I do not still find the problem.
Can you help me please ?

Re: Couldn't find FONA - METRO FONA 3G
I found!
In the script, you shouldn't use the line:
With this line, that works:
Even if I have the model FONA 3G.
Thank you anyway for your help!
In the script, you shouldn't use the line:
Code: Select all
// Use this one for FONA 3G
//Adafruit_FONA_3G fona = Adafruit_FONA_3G(FONA_RST);
Code: Select all
// Use this for FONA 800 and 808s
Adafruit_FONA fona = Adafruit_FONA(FONA_RST);
Thank you anyway for your help!

That's just not right. You'll probably have some problems with this, since there are some differences in the 3G commands. I don't understand why it won't work with Adafruit_FONA_3G. I'll see what I can find out.

Re: [Solved] Couldn't find FONA - METRO FONA 3G
Hello,
I recently read your posts and I seem to be having similar problems. All the wires have been soldered correctly and there is a battery attached however when I upload the fona test code it comes up with couldn't find fona. I tried changing the code to run the font rst but it didn't work either.
Please help
Thanks in advance
