SparkFun u-blox Cellular Arduino Library
The SparkFun u-blox Cellular Arduino Library is a generic AT command-set library that works with multiple u-blox cellular modules that share the same AT Command Set. This includes the LARA-R6 on this board as well as the SARA-R5 and others. Most of the examples are generic and work with all modules but some require selecting a specific module to function properly.
Download the library through the Arduino Library Manager tool by searching for "SparkFun u-blox Cellular" and download the latest version. Users who prefer to install it manually can download it from the GitHub repository or by clicking the button below:
With the library installed, let's move on to taking a closer look at a few of the examples included in it.
