I am a novice user of Arduino.I purchased Mega 2560 and GSM Shield 2(without any antennae attached,as M10 has inbuilt antennae),I wish to run certain examples from GSM library but none of it shows satisfactory resultSo I thought of purchasing UNO,I bought that but the GSM shield doesnot work with it aswell.
Tried below example ;result =SMS Messages Sender
Not Connected.
What all I have tried:
- Downloading version 1.6 and installing tinysine GSM library and decommenting uno while using MEga 2560 ;
*Applying external power supply(12V and 2 A) along with USB connected ;
*For MEGA : USING A JUMPER FORM 2 TO 10 PIN and disconnecting male header from connecting to Mega board;
*Uploading Pin no. ,APN ,login and user I.d;
*UPloading using AT commands aswell;
*Switching Power button ON on GsM shield after the code has been uploaded,
I need Urgent assistance as my project is due because of this issue.
kindly assist as soon as possible.
I am attching the code that I am using please guide me as soon as possible.
/*
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
