It gives you direct control, which is crucial in both scenarios: resetting the modem when it stops responding to AT commands and waking it up from PSM. This kind of manual control adds reliability, especially in unattended or remote deployments. Thanks for pointing that out!

the added 5 V power switch I use to fully turn the modem off when I want to use M5Tab5 without modem (without the need to de-solder it.

The other modification to control the POWERKEY of the modem via GPIO (instead of the default auto power on) of the modem is required for two cases:

  • firstly to restart the modem in case it becomes unresponsive to AT commands and
  • secondly to get it out of PSM (power save mode).

Thanks
Felix

I now have the LTE-M modem fully integrated into M5Tab5 (including proper external antenna). Info here.

Thanks
Felix

please find some information and pictures of my M5Tab5 with soldered M5Stamp LTE-M module here.

Thanks

Yes, they connect — the M5STAMP-CatM is designed to fit into the TAB5 case and align with the pads on the PCB. You’ll need to solder the module to those pads, as there are no pins provided.

Does that Stamp LoraWan exist???
