Even after reading some of that thread, I have no idea what this AT protocol is. Did someone reuse the name for the thing used in modems?

- wmf 3y agoAT Protocol is used by the Bluesky app. And yeah, no one outside HN cares about the Hayes AT commands any more.
- duskwuff 3y ago> no one outside HN cares about the Hayes AT commands any more. You might be surprised. A lot of cellular modems and Bluetooth modules are controlled using a variant of the AT command set.
- anilakar 3y agoWe still have a ton of remote IIoT edge nodes with with Ericsson f3507g modems as the local SMS gateway for the site. Every now and then they hang and require manual reinitialization with minicom and AT commands (unless you want to reboot the whole edge node)
- randunel 3y agoMy 5G modem needed some AT commands (AT^CUSTOMER among others) to be made compatible with the linux kernel. It turns out the exact same Foxconn device is rebranded HP, Dell, Telit and possibly some other by simply running AT^CUSTOMER=1(Dell), 2(Telit), 4(HP). The HP variant wasn't compatible with Linux, but the Dell one was. There's large forums such as wirelessjoint, ispreview and sierra where AT is still extremely relevant.
- jeroenhd 3y agoNo one outside HN cares about AT Protocol either, they just want Twitter 2.0 and have found a promising exclusive club over at BlueSky. I doubt anyone but a small minority of BS users will even know that you can theoretically run your own server and that eventually other servers will join the network.
- samtho 3y agoThe Hayes AT command set is still the primary way to talk to embedded modems. I would argue quite a few people outside of HN care about it to this day while very few people outside of HN know or would care about the AT Protocol.
- OJFord 3y agoI would say most of the people who know or care about either are on (or know about) HN - but that doesn't mean either's unimportant, it's just the nature of what it is, a technical detail behind the scenes that some of us work with.
