Using the examples that @alvarolb and @PCAT posted in Connect to thinger.io via GPRS module (done), I have working code which connects to thinger OK, but I would now like to use the GPS function on the SIM7000E that I am using to get the GPS location, but I am unable to get the code to work.
enableGPS();
float lat, lon;
while (1)
{
if (thing.modem.getGPS(&lat, &lon))
{
Serial.print(lat);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.println(lon);
}
delay(7500);
}
This is based on some examples that I have found using the TinyGSM library, but it results in the following compile error (when using PlatformIO)
’modem’ was not declared in this scope
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I think it might be something to do with the ThingerTinyGSM library handling the GSM connection, but I have no idea how to fix this.
