GSM_Module_V2.0_(SKU_TEL0051) - jimaobian/DFRobotWiki GitHub Wiki
This is a GPS/GPRS/GSM shield from DFRobot. This shield with a Quad-band GSM/GPRS engine works on frequencies EGSM 900MHz/DCS 1800MHz and GSM850 MHz/PCS 1900MHz. It also supports GPS technology for satellite navigation. It's possible for your robot and control system to send messages and use the GSM network. It is controlled via AT commands(GSM07.07 ,07.05 and SIMCOM enhanced AT Commands). And the design of this shield allows you to drive the GSM & GPS function directly with the computer and the Arduino Board. It includes a high-gain SMD antenna for GPS & GSM. This GPS/GPRS/GSM shield uses an embedded SIM548C chip from SIMCom.Featuring an industry-standard interface and GPS function, the combination of both technologies allows goods, vehicles and people to be tracked seamlessly at any location and anytime with signal coverage.

- USB/Arduino control switch
- Size: 70x55mm
More details about switches: *Switch S1: PC upload program to Arduino board/PC communicates with GPS/GPRS/GSM Module( Arduino programming/module communication).
- '''Switch S2: '''GPS/GPRS/GSM Module directly connects with PC through USB port or module communicates with Arduino board, which communicates with PC(USB/Arduino serial communication).
- Switch S3: GPS power supply to be on/off(GPS power switch).
The hardware requirements:
- Arduino Uno
- GPS/GPRS/GSM Module V2.0
- SIM Card
- Earphone & Microphone
- External power supply via the power jack
it is recommended you to supply 7~12v power via the power jack. When using the GSM mode, the module requires an external power. But the power consumption is not high,just 200mA@7v, when calling.
Module driver pin jumpers: Applying the Module Pin Jumpers(J10-J12) will allocate Pin 3,4,5 for driving the module. Removing the jumpers will release the above Pins, and you could connect the driver pins to the other digital pins on your board to avoid the pin conflict.

- If your module works, the indicator LEDs beside the switch S2 will light up, this means that the module is running correctly. The LED marked "NET" is used to drive a network status indication LED. The working state of this LED is listed below.
- Send the AT commands to the module by using Coolterm(or use the Arduino serial monitor).
Note: If you want to program the Arduino, please disconnect the coolterm to release the communication port.
State | The GSM part of SIM548C function |
Off | The GSM part of the module is not running |
64ms On/ 800ms Off | The GSM part of the module does not find the network |
64ms On/ 3,000ms Off | The GSM part of the module found the network |
64ms On/ 300ms Off | GPRS communication |
Default baudrate: 9600 Please do some settings as #Recommended settings before connection.If have trouble sending Ctrl+Z, please refers to #Ways to send Ctrl +Z in Coolterm
Signal strength test with on-chip antenna: Sending AT command for signal quantity report AT+CSQ through serial port terminal application, will receive signal strength as below. The returned data “15,0”, the first value “15” means the signal strength is:
Value | Signal Strength |
---|---|
0 | -113dBm or less |
1 | -111dBm |
2~30 | -109~-53dBm |
31 | -51dBm or greater |
99 | not know or not detectable |
The later value “0” means channel bit error rate. Signal strength test with external antenna:
-
AT+=? : Test command
The mobile equipment returns the list of parameters and value ranges set with the corresponding Write command or by internal processes.
-
AT+? : Read command
This command returns the currently set value of the parameter or parameters
-
AT+=<..> : Write command
This command sets the user-definable parameter values.
-
AT+ : Execution command
This execution command reads non-variable parameters affected by internal processes in the GSM engine
-
AT : Test the serial communication.if it works,get "ok" as the picture show.
-
ATD; : Dial a number
-
ATA : Answer an incoming call
-

For location of the data received, please refer to Location Mapping (GPRMC)
- After turn switch s3 on (the right side), the GPSPWR led will be lit.
- In this mode, switch s2 is on right side. The GPS module communicates with Arduino board, and Arduino board communicates with PC. The serial port terminal application will show preliminary processed data from Arduino board, which gets the data from GPS module.

Settings below is recommended
After the network indication LED showing GSM module has found the network, we can use it to send out message. Setp 1: Set the system to text mode(as opposed to PDU mode) with command AT+CMGF=1(type "AT+CMGF=1" in the input line, then press KEY), you will get response as below. step 2: set message receiver number with command at+cmgs="number"(replace number with your destination number),after pressing key, it will show as follow step 3: type in you message content, end with pressing key. step 4: send ctrl character ctrl+z to verify your message sending (just pressing ctrl and z simultaneously, key is not need after that).if it send out successfully, it will show as below. ====Ways to send Ctrl +Z in Coolterm==== '''1. '''After typing the message text, press enter key, it will show:
Then, in the input area, pressing Ctrl+Z will send out the single ctrl character successfully as below:
'''2. '''ctrl characters can also be sent out in their hexadecimal format, in which form 1a is the value of ctrl+z:
**1.**Serial connection errs. When connecting to PC, serial port terminal application occasionally warns “A Serial Port Err Occur 103: No Stop Bit Received” or ” A Serial Port Err Occur 104: stop bit received too early” A: set Coolterm in options-receive-ignore receiving signal err to ignore connection err and it will reconnect automatically. **2.**Serial port terminal application warns “Normal power down” when reconnect after disconnect, and Network indication LEDs both turn off. A: Choose disconnect, and connect again The Arduino board will reset at every connection to PC. During resetting, the Arduino board will emit a low pulse to pin PWRKEY of GPS module. So if GPS module is already on before connection, the low pulse will switch it off, if not, the pulse will switched it on. **3.**Serial port terminal application send out all the strings on the screen after pressing Ctrl+Z, when trying to send message in GSM USB mode. *'A: **It is possible to send Ctrl characters when the terminal is set to Line Mode. We can choose the Line Mode in options-terminal-terminal mode, or we can send the Ctrl character though sending string box of Coolterm in hexadecimal format. Please refer to Ways to send Ctrl +Z in Coolterm. **4.**Restart the serial port terminal application always works for other troubles. *Updating'!
*Arduino GSM library is a very complete GSM library for Arduino.
