Arduino Yun + GSM shield

Official Hardware Classic Yún
1

Hi...
I am quit new at this stage..
I have bought the Yun and a GSM shield, but cant get the " send sms " to work.
have any one tried this with good luck ?

when the upload is done, and i open the serial moniter, it does write the first line, "SMS Messages sender"
and then nothing else happens.

Can some one help me ??

You should not need the GSM shield to send an SMS with the new Yun. You can use the Twilio sketch in the examples. But if you wanted to, post your code so people on the forum can clearly asses what the problem is. Also, how you hardware is wired.

First off the thing is, i don't have an internet connection on the borad, can i the use the "Twilio sketch"...
I am using it to restart some internet equipment, and measure a temperature, and if i cant communicate with the equipment, the internet connection is lost some where, and need a restart to work again, and a gsm modul, will work, i guess and hope.

The Gsm Shield pluged direct on the Yün

and

The code i use is as following...

/*
SMS sender

This sketch, for the Arduino GSM shield,sends an SMS message
you enter in the serial monitor. Connect your Arduino with the
GSM shield and SIM card, open the serial monitor, and wait for
the "READY" message to appear in the monitor. Next, type a
message to send and press "return". Make sure the serial
monitor is set to send a newline when you press return.

Circuit:

  • GSM shield
  • SIM card that can send SMS

// Include the GSM library

Serial.print("Enter a mobile number: ");
char remoteNum[20]; // telephone number to send sms
readSerial(remoteNum);
Serial.println(remoteNum);

// sms text
Serial.print("Now, enter SMS content: ");
char txtMsg[200];
readSerial(txtMsg);
Serial.println("SENDING");
Serial.println();
Serial.println("Message:");
Serial.println(txtMsg);

// send the message
sms.beginSMS(remoteNum);
sms.print(txtMsg);
sms.endSMS();
Serial.println("\nCOMPLETE!\n");

char inChar = Serial.read();
if (inChar == '\n')
{
result = '\0';

  • Serial.flush();*
  • return 0;*

    }

    The serial monitor only writes "SMS Messages Sender"
    I am using a SIM card like the on from my mobile Phone, and i live in Denmark, and think that the frekvens should be okay..
    No Pin code is neede
    The tele-phone company is TELIA

Hi

Have you already read this guide? http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/GSMShieldLeonardoMega (the yun has the same mcu of a leonardo)

5

So is it true, that in order to run the GSM shield with yun the same "modifications" as with the leonardo have to be done?
Thanks.
PS: The Arduino team might want to add the name Yun to that tutorial if so...

FYI;-

http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=210326.msg1544191#msg1544191

Let Yun send out SMS absolutely free at US and Canada

http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=210326.msg1581356#msg1581356

Via twilio, send out SMS at UK price for $0.04, Germany for $0.07...

Yes, as the pin 2, which is used on the Uno does not have the interrupt capability needed on the Leonardo.
And that includes the Yun, as the Yun is using the same MCU chip as the Leonardo, an ATmega32u4, and that one doesn't have the interrupt capability on pin 2 which the GSM shield assumes.
See the table at attachInterrupt() - Arduino Reference for more details...

I don't know what is happening, but the Yún is not working with the GSM Shield (With the Leonardo modifications).
Using the same sketch in the UNO, the GSM is working well, but it isn't in the Yún.

Enabling the debug in the gsmAccess, of the TestGPRS, I just get a AT%13% from the shield and it get stuck there.

I don't know what can be wrong. ¿Is anybody using this combination? (Yún + Arduino GSM Shield)

Cheers!

``ok then I DONT buy Arduino shield with arduino yun
if these both cards not compatible together :frowning:
thank you

Hi,

you can buy and use Arduino Yun and GSM shield !

So have to put a jumper between pin 2 and 8 and bend out

pin 2 of GSm Shield. After this all runs.

Hi Gionatha,
can you please start a new thread and post your information there. This is a very old thread. Those people have moved along. Posting to a new thread will get other people to post their solutions too.

TIA
