Sending SMS with Sixfab GSM/GPRS Shield
We are back again with another tutorial on Sixfab GSM/GPRS Shield. This has been designed with Quectel M66 GSM/GPRS module which is based on 2G chipset and bears optimal performance for SMS and audio service. It basically work with AT commands. To know more about the AT commands of Quecctel M66 you may visit Quectel site. Read More
Sixfab NB-IoT EVB. with Ultrasonic Sensor
Sixfab NB-IoT is another member of our Nb-IoT Shield family. This can be connected either with USB or you may also use any micro controller(Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi etc. ). For this tutorial we are going to use Raspberry Pi. Here we will be sending data obtained by our Raspberry Pi from Ultrasonic Waterproof Range Finder(JSN-SR04T-2.0) and send this data over UDP.
Before you get started make sure you have done your router configuration as mentioned in previous tutorial step 1-10.
Getting Started with Sixfab NB-IoT EVB.

All sensors of Sixfab Raspberry Pi NB-IoT Shield
We are here again with our Sixfab Raspberry Pi NB-IoT Shield Tutorial. As mentioned in the product details that there are built-in Temperature, Humidity and Light sensors along with relay and USER led on the shield. So we will be showing you how to access all of them in this tutorial and sending the received data over local server. You can also try this with remote server. Read More
Temperature & Humidity from Sixfab Rapsberry Pi NB-IoT Shield
We are back again with second tutorial on our Sixfab Raspberry Pi NB-IoT Shield. In this tutorial we will be showing how to access a sensor of the shield among the built-in sensors are available. We have selected temperature and humidity sensor for this demonstration. Read More
Getting Started with Sixfab Raspberry Pi NB-IoT Shield
It is a narrow band IoT (NB-IoT) shield for Raspberry Pi. NB-IoT is very suitable for IoT applications with low power consumption. Shield also has the built-in 3-axis accelerometer, temperature, humidity, light sensors, optocoupler, and relay. If you like, you can also add your own sensors using the built-in 4 channel ADC.

External Sensor with Sixfab Arduino NB-IoT Shield
It is obvious that a single shield is never enough to design a project. You will definitely like to integrate different sensors in your NB-IoT projects. This is the reason we came up here with this tutorial. In this tutorial of Sixfab Arduino NB-IoT Shield, we are going to observe data from JSN-SR04T-2.0 Ultrasonic Waterproof Range finder, which can measure 20cm-600cm of distance.
Built-in Sensors of Sixfab Arduino NB-IoT Shield
We are here again with our Sixfab Arduino NB-IoT Shield Tutorial. As you all know from the details of the product that there are built-in sensors, relay and USER led on the shield. So we will be showing you how to access all of them in this tutorial and sending the received data over local server (Note: Remote Server can be used too). Read More
Measuring Lux with Sixfab Arduino NB-IoT Shield
We are back again with another tutorial on Sixfab Arduino NB-IoT Shield. Previously we have learned how to connect the shield with local server and sent a string value. In this tutorial we are going to learn how we can access the sensor values of the built-in sensors of the shield and send them over local server. To keep it easy we are going to access single sensor which will be ambient light sensor(ALS-PT19). Read More
Getting Started with SIXFAB Arduino NB-IoT Shield
Sixfab Arduino NB-IoT shield is a Narrow-Band IoT(LTE CAT-NB1) shield for Arduino, based on Quectel’s BC95 module. NB-IoT is a Low Power Wide Area(LPWA) technology that is the latest cellular network option for low power connected projects.
This shield has been designed with built-in temperature, humidity, light sensors, 3-axis accelerometer, relay, micro sim card slot and a built-in antenna. If there is a need for long-range, better signal quality, a U.FL antenna receptacle is placed, can be selected over RF Switch by the short-headers easily. Read More
