Getting started with QuecPython ... where to get everything?

[Humancell]

Hello,

I'm about to jump into QuecPython for a project I'm working on, and to create some instructional videos. I wanted to start this conversation to comment on some issues that I've come across so far, and my worries about the docs being out of date.

I bought a EG912U-GL to do some testing. It seems that I can also use the BG95 series of modules?

I found the documentation here: https://developer.quectel.com/doc/quecpython/Getting_started/en/4G/driver_prepare.html

I ended up wasting a lot of time since the drivers were not compatible with Windows 11. I had to open a support ticket and get the newer "Quectel_Windows_USB_Driver(U)_V1.2_EN" driver, which is now working on my machine.

As I continue to read the docs, I see the next steps are the tools. "QPYcom" is mentioned, and the link is to here: https://python.quectel.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/QPYcom_V3.6.0.zip

Is this correct and the latest version? I don't want to be working from old documentation that is out of date. I found this repo, which is great, but now I don't see QPYcom here as a repo, nor instructions, and so I'm not clear where to start. Are the instructions in the link above correct? Is that the latest version of QPYcom?

I don't want to continue to go down bad paths. :-)

I look forward to your answers, and to getting all of this working!

Hey @Humancell ,

Thank you for your interest in QuecPython.

You can find the latest version of Qpycom here among other tools, currently Qpycom latest version is 4.1:

Let me know if you any other questions.

Kind regards,

Hello,

Thank you for getting back to me! You really need to update your docs! The instructions on this page do not send me to that page!

https://developer.quectel.com/doc/quecpython/Getting_started/en/4G/tools_prepare.html

Do you work for Quectel?

There are so many ambiguous and missing instructions. On this page () it says to Flash the Firmware and says "First, ensure that the module is properly connected and powered on. Open the tool and navigate to the download page. Click on "Create" to create a new firmware project for downloading." ... What tool? Do you mean QFlash? Or does this mean in QPYcom?

I really want to help you improve all of this to get more people developing like this. But the docs need a lot of work. :-)

Thank you again ... I'm now moving to the next step!
