I want to preface this by saying I am learning Raspberry Pi. This is my first real hands on experience. A project I am working on requires our PI-3 to be connected to the internet via a SIM.
We are using the SIM800 Board (https://www.modmypi.com/raspberry-pi/communication-1068/raspberry-pi-sim800-gsm-breakout-board) and a T-Mobile SIM. Please note that the SIM is already activated.
I followed along with this tutorial and used SAKIS3G: https://www.modmypi.com/blog/how-to-connect-your-raspberry-pi-to-a-3g-network. Everything works until the final selection "custom TTY..."
I receive the following error box: "Device did not report GSM capabilities. You can skip this by adding --noprobe command line switch." I have searched high and low for solutions, but there is very limited information. Does anyone here have experience with errors such as this and can point me in the right direction?
I also added the --noprobe suggestion, but it still printed the same error.
I found a work around, hopefully this is useful for someone. Sakis3G seems to be more focused around other SIM card models rather than T-Mobile. I found a really good guide that allows for easy connection (https://www.rhydolabz.com/wiki/?p=16325).
Follow the link's steps and you should be good. The only flaw with this currently is that it requires manual connection every time the pi boots, but this could probably be fixed by someone who knows R-Pi better than me!

Sorry if I do something wrong, I'm new to this website. I was directed here after asking the following question to google support.
I've downloaded the google assistant onto my raspberry pi and I'm following the instructions as found on your services pages (https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/service/python). I've made it to the part where its walking you through turning on an LED wired to your raspberry pi. I activated the "oneoff" trait but it doesn't appear like its working. When I ask my google assistant on my raspberry pi "Turn on" (as the instructions say) it responds, "Sorry, power controls is not yet supported. I've also tried asking it "turn on light". and it responds "The Adjutant isn't available. You might want to try setting it up again." (Adjutant is the name of my project). I've been trying to find the root of the problem, but I have been unsuccessful. I would be much appreciative if you could help me resolve the issue. Let me know if there is any other information that you will need to know to understand the issue. I'm using a raspberry pi 3B
I've gone through the steps again to see if I missed an important step, but I didn't see one. I've looked though other support pages, and searched other tutorials, but they were either outdated, or I didn't fully grasp the content.
Thanks a Ton for your help!

Recently I have installed fluxion on my Pi 2. There wasn't any problem in the installation process, but when I tried to use fluxion, (after choosing the language) I got the message no wireless cards found ....
It is strange because I was able to see wlan0 (and also connect to the internet) before I had selected language. And also the light on my Wi-Fi dongle goes off.
Is there any solution to fix this problem?
Finally, I could solve the problem. I bought a new wireless usb adapter. For those who are curious I will introduce model of the device. I purchased TP-Link TL-WN722N which is suitable for hacking tools in raspberry pi. It also supports monitor mode. For more information you can visit the official website.
I've seen a lot of projects, tutorials and how-to's on the web regarding the Raspberry Pi.
I've just received my first Pi in the mail, and I can't wait to get tinkering with it.
Of course, doing any of these things is going to be a difficult process, however, as my experience with the Pi is next to none, I wondered about the capabilities of what I want to do with my first major project.
I'd like to be able to build an on-board computer for my car. I've seen several projects regarding this, and I've seen some good guides online.
However, none that I have seen will do EVERYTHING that I can think of....
I'm assuming that my 8GB SD card will be limited to only a selection of these specifications, however, here's a list of what I'd like the solution to be capable of, and if anyone knows any reason why this isn't possible, please give me a heads up :)
So...
I'd like a front-end GUI (on a 7" touchscreen monitor) with a menu to navigate the options, which will include
From this menu, I'd like to be able to select (and of course, run) the following:
Media center (I've seen things like XBMC etc.) - I'd like this to be capable of taking over the radio unit and playign mp3's etc (possibly from my iphone!?)
GPS/SatNav - I don't know how possible this is and I assume i'd need a 3G card or something...
Reverse parking camera (stick a webcam in the rear view window) etc (I've seen good tutorials for this)
Connect my phone with a bluetooth thingy(?) so that I can add a USB mic and play the receiver audio through my speakers (acting as a hands free kit)
I'll add more ideas too...
I'm not questioning if each of these individual specifications are possible, I am asking if they are all possible through one solution as a whole, with a GUI to navigate through them?
Thanks for any help.

It is all possible, all in one bundle. 8gb is more than enough for everything, it'll only limit your music collection. The only question is: how much work are you able/capable of doing. That will be the limiting factor, not your Pi.
Short answer is yes, all exist and the pi can handle it. But you'll be writing a lot of custom software to make them interoperate.
Ok, so I've never done anything with serial connections before. But...
I just got an Arduino that I am trying to use to remotely launch model rockets. I have a 5 volt relay that I can control with the Arduino's digital out.
Now, I want connect my iPhone's Tx to the Arduino's Rx and vice-versa. I would buy the iPhone breakout board from spark fun so I could connect it to the Arduino. (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10645) I was thinking something along the lines of: when the phone gets a text or a call from a certain number, or maybe even just a bluetooth signal, it would tell the Arduino. But those are just ideas.
How can I actually send a signal from my iPhone? Are there xCode libraries to do this? My phone is jailbroken, so I am open to other non-apple ways for sending signals. But I am a novice programmer.
Thank you.
P.S. I'm new to Stack Overflow, and I would appreciate if you could help me. The first time I posted a question someone told me it wasn't on the right site. So please bear with me.
EDIT #1: Haha, I just read over this and it sounds like a cell phone bomb from a terrorist movie. I swear that's not what I'm doing. Just look at my avatar.
EDIT #2: I also have a Bluetooth dongle for the Arduino. But I honestly have no idea how to interface that with anything, it was $10 from China, so I thought I would buy it to keep my options open. But, regardless, it would be really cool to plug an iPhone into an Arduino.
You could buy a Redpark Serial Cable for iOS to connect the iPhone to your Arduino board over RS-232.
This book also seems to be helpful: iOS Sensor Apps with Arduino
EDIT:
Redpark FAQ: http://redpark.com/c2db9_FAQs.html
There is a SDK available for this serial cable.
You will have trouble writing communication software when trying to connect directly to the dock connector! The External Accessory Framework wont help you here unless your Arduino board has a special decoding chip for dock connector communication.
Have fun!
All I think you need to do is utilize the External Accessory framework. I'm not sure how well it will work for you, the library is meant to communicate with MFi approved accessories. I'd really like to hear how your results went, I am going to be conducting an experiment of my own using a break out board
I am in a similar boat as you, and I have successfully built my own serial cable using the podbreakout, and have implemented a serial class that supports reading / writing. I can confirm that I have read working, as I have tested it with my RFID reader. I am in the process of writing code that will send a command to the Arduino from the iPhone, and then have the Arduino perform a task based on the command.
Here is a document I put together on iDevice serial com,
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yi9_hcw8XSyYNCG2OJT9oHlTG-dC-Dnuc58VIULa81Q/edit?usp=sharing
and the serial class can be seen in the project I am working on.

Is there any way that we can programatically identify when the wifi of a user becomes available/unavailable?
My application requires exchanging messages between two different devices. It is working good in stable wifi setups. But if the wifi is unstable, I am having trouble in detecting if the other device is available or not.
I am not sure if this is expected, but my bonjour based NSNetService discoverer is not updating the available devices list automatically. This leaves me with a list of services that are not available for the exchange.
My line of thinking was to remove all the available services from the list and start a fresh search.
Please let me know if I am thinking in the right direction to solve the right problem.
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps the Reachability sample code provided by Apple will help you in this regard. Although there have been people who say it hasn't been updated in a while, in which case, here is an actively maintained fork.
It seems like you can register for notifications so you can get frequent information on the state of the network.
