Hi

I'm no expert either - but I'm having the same issue. I'm now powering the Dronecell via an ESC. I have a thought it is to do with the gate closing and making a connection when the sim is inserted - in fact during fiddling with this I managed to startup and get :

+CPIN: READY

but haven't managed to reproduce this again :(

Keep at it an let me know how you get on....

Best

Malcolm

Good to hear from you Marc

This issue must be either a manufacturing fault or similar.

Have we let the honchos at DIYDrones / the store know? 

They've always been super helpful in the past.

Ohh man am I glad I found this thread. I have been trying to figure this out for two months now. I sent my old dronecell back for testing, and after a month and a half, they just sent me a new one. I'm playing with it now. Still no sim card detected. I tried talking to ERIC FORKOSH, don't waste your time. After many emails, just a one liner response saying nothing useful.

Are you talking about diabling the sim detection? What specific AT code are you referring to?
