Introduction

With popularization of the concept of the Internet of things (IoT), more and more people want to know and make their own IoT device. The common WiFi cannot satisfy the mobile application scenarios, while the emerging NB-IoT network has a limited coverage area, so the most popular 2G network becomes one of the best choices at present. DFRobot has updated the former GSM/GPRS expansion board, using the same series SIM800C GSM/GPRS chip as Mobike, in order to provide stable and reliable IoT links. A user may send AT instruction through UART communication interface, so as to make a call, send a short message and realize GPRS remote data acquisition, etc. SIM800C GPRS/GSM expansion board is encapsulated by Arduino standard, and can be externally connected with Arduino UNO, Leonardo and other controllers. The expansion board is externally expanded with TX&RX interface by jumper. Communication can be connected by soft serial port for convenient development. The built-in Bluetooth 3.0 wireless communication function may cooperate with mobile phone to realize point-to-point communication, and see SIM800C User Manual for more advanced features.
warning_yellow.png Caution: Since GSM is impulse type transmitting power, and the average current is very low, but the instantaneous current can reach more than 1.5A, so the external power supply is used in the use of GSM expansion board. USB port can only provide 5V@500mA, which cannot meet output of instantaneous power supply.

Specification

Board Overview

SIM800C GSM/GPRS Shield V2.0 SKU:TEL0089

Note: In addition to the Boot button, the pin D12 can also be pulled high for 2s to realize module startup & shutdown.

Tutorial

Through the following tutorials, the companions can use the functions of software startup & shutdown, making and receiving a phone call, receiving/sending short messages, Bluetooth, etc. of this communication module. The companions are made to enter into the communication palace of sim800 series module easily.
Caution: Please use 7.5~23V external power supply.

Preparation

Startup Module

Press boot for 2s or download the following program to start up the module.

void setup()
{
  //Set the pin as the output mode
  pinMode(12,OUTPUT);
  //GSM start
  digitalWrite(12,HIGH);
  delay(2000);
  digitalWrite(12,LOW);
}
void loop()
{
}

Result

After the program is uploaded successfully, connect the serial port to TX & RX side by jumper, press reset and then you will observe that Net lamp (network status indication) - twinkles:

NET: Network status indicator:
Off——the module does not work,
64ms on/800ms off——the module fails to find the network,
64ms on/3,000ms off——the module registers the network.

Caution: The module is made to start up or shut down every time the serial port is opened or the reset is pressed; if NET lamp is found not to respond (shutdown), press Reset again to start up the module.

  delay(8000);
}

- Note: Please notice the direction of the antenna during voice communication, or the voice communication quality will be affected

Result

  1. This program is combined with the above software startup program, and the module is controlled by sending AT instruction with arduino serial port to realize the function of making a call; “123456789” in the code. Here, you may modify any phone number that you want to dial (only if it is valid).
  2. It is necessary to pull up the “jumper” on the module during the burning program, because the burning code will occupy the serial port.
  3. After the program is burnt successfully, press “reset” for several seconds, and then there will be mobile customer service voice communication from the headset.....
