@Caleb-Wiggins well, hologram does offer their own usb cellular device which is similar to the unit that they sold through onion kickstarter. but, i can't speak to if the device works well with the omega2[+]

@Andrew said in Hologram Cellular Expansion Docs?:

Some official information is finally here: https://onion.io/2bt-january-2-2018/

Its not working for me. Well, I get an IP for the module, but connection are going out the wifi connection. I had to do:

ip route delete default via <gateway from ip route> dev apcli0

ip route add default via <ip from ifconfig 3g-hologram> dev 3g-hologram

Can't ssh to it though.

I do have to agree with Douglas Kryder regarding particle electron. I have a couple and they are incredibly easy to work with as far as cellular setups go. I haven't tried yet but I'm thinking that possibly using a hologram, ting, or other sim in the electron may resolve the 2g issues depending on whether there's 2g available from other carriers in the area.

hologram sent me an email about using their network. i have 2 particle electrons so they must have gotten my address from that forum or somebody mined my address as a probably interested. i did not buy the device they pushed on ks so i don't know what you were promised but what they have is very similar to particle electron device except they have 4G and electron is limited to 3g.

Thanks Lazar! I was afraid of that answer... Since Hologram's business model is to sell cellular airtime, it would be a waste of resources for them to create modules with different chipsets, and that's very understandable. So many chipset variations are out there. It's unreal!

If I had the electronic knowledge to create the module, I would. My only strength is software.
