python-iridium-modem 0.1.1

Iridium phone library

Iridium modem module for Python built on pthyon-gsmmodem

python-iridium-modem is a module that extends the python-gsmmodem package to enable older Iridium phones to work correctly. The standard GSM commands expected by the base package don’t always work in the assumed manner, most especially with some AT commands used during initialisation not working as expected. The return codes for some AT commands also produce unexpected output in some cases (e.g., AT+CSQ).

Testing so far includes everything from 9505 and early 9522 boards (NAL Research A3LA-IG) through to the 9555A, but not (yet) the 9575 or 9602. All of these display similar characteristics, in that the phones behave as documented, but the python GSM module wasn’t constructed to handle them.

Requirements

• Python 3.4 or later

• python-gsmmodem
