3.12  Easy Script Extension - Python interpreter 

3.12.1 Overview 

This feature is available only on the 

Telit GM862-GPS

.

 

The Easy Script Extension is a feature that allows to drive the modem "internally" writing 
the controlling application directly in a nice high level language: Python. 
The Easy Script Extension is aimed at low complexity applications where the application 
was usually done by a small microcontroller that managed some I/O pins and the GM862-
GPS through the AT command interface. 
A schematic of such a configuration can be: 
 
In order to eliminate this external controller, and further simplify the programming of the 
sequence of operations, inside the GM862-GPS it is included: 

- 

Python script interpreter engine v. 1.5.2+ 

- 

around 3MB of Non Volatile Memory room for the user scripts and data 

- 

1.5 MB RAM reserved for Python engine usage 

 
A schematic of this approach is:
