Sim808 - Arduino connection

Other Hardware General Electronics

Hello,
i have a Problem with my Sim808 Breakout Module and the connection to the Arduino.
Somehow it seems that the Sim808 uses the power over either Tx or Rx connection.

Tx-tx and rx-rx when used with the computer and Arduino is a bridge.
Tx-rx and rx-tx in the normal Case is that right?

You see on the pictures, as soon as I want to reset the sim808 Module it uses the power over one of the wires TX or Rx.

I bet this is also the Problem why I don't get an answer from the sim808 Module eitherway

Never connect any input to an unpowered module. It will parasitically power the module, no matter what the module. It is a good way to damage stuff.

Care to elaborate?

What problems?

too short of wires?

cant see the I/O pins on the Arduino to connect too?

What problems are you having? How it is wired up currently?

Pics please.
