I bought a board from ebay, Arduino GPRS+GSM SIM300 Module+Development Board Ver2. But when i try to program it using the arduino software, i don't know which board i should select on the tool option, when i upload the code to the board, I get error " programmer not responding", wonder if anyone knows this board?
I used duemilanove before, installed drivers, and etc, and wrote a small program, and worked. I guess this is not a official board, and the arduino software doesn't work on it, that's the reason, but still, I don't know how to fix it. hope someone in the forum knows the board.
Looking at the schematic and the text of the actual listing, I fail to see where the Arduino part is... except as a word in the title.
The serial port appears to be used to issue AT-commands and not to communicate directly with the microcontroller. I doubt you can use the Arduino IDE to do anything with this board, except open up serial monitor and send it commands.
i think it is a combination of GSM and GPRP board, i searched online, when you try to connect the arduino to internet, you need some shield or whatever to do that, i think that's what the development board is. do you think it is possible to connect this to an arduino board?
thanks for the help.. and the time you spent to read the manual..
This isn't really a shield. It is just a development board that accepts commands over the serial port. So you'll need to find a way to interface your Arduino to this board. Then the code on your Arduino will send commands to the GPRS module.
