Fona808 very weird problem

Post by sulautettu_fi »

Hello

I have very weird problem with fona808, i try to start with MQTT example and add gps to it.
It seems that if I comment away one line of Serial print out, the code works. Is it some timing problem between Soft serial and hw serial.

I found out that the IO key is missing from the AT commands when the code is not working.
