Hey everyone,
I bought SIM808 (EVB-v3.2) and I’m trying to use it with the Arduino UNO using the AT commands,
I still didn’t insert any simcard into the sim 808, but i was just trying to get the AT commands working
I’ve connected the following :
TXD => Pin 4 on Arduino
RXD => Pin 5 on Arduino
GND => GND
VMCV => 3.7 V on Arduino
then I’ve uploaded the example of simple GPS read to the Arduino
#include "SIM900.h"
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
//#include "inetGSM.h"
//#include "sms.h"
//#include "call.h"
#include "gps.h"
//To change pins for Software Serial, use the two lines in GSM.cpp.
//GSM Shield for Arduino
//www.open-electronics.org
//this code is based on the example of Arduino Labs.
//Simple sketch to start a connection as client.
//InetGSM inet;
//CallGSM call;
//SMSGSM sms;
GPSGSM gps;
char lon[15];
char lat[15];
char alt[15];
char time[20];
char vel[15];
char msg1[5];
char msg2[5];
char stat;
char inSerial[20];
int i=0;
boolean started=false;
void setup()
{
//Serial connection.
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("GSM Shield testing.");
//Start configuration of shield with baudrate.
//For http uses is raccomanded to use 4800 or slower.
if (gsm.begin(2400)) {
Serial.println("\nstatus=READY");
gsm.forceON(); //To ensure that SIM908 is not only in charge mode
started=true;
} else Serial.println("\nstatus=IDLE");
if(started) {
//GPS attach
if (gps.attachGPS())
Serial.println("status=GPSREADY");
else Serial.println("status=ERROR");
delay(20000); //Time for fixing
stat=gps.getStat();
if(stat==1)
Serial.println("NOT FIXED");
else if(stat==0)
Serial.println("GPS OFF");
else if(stat==2)
Serial.println("2D FIXED");
else if(stat==3)
Serial.println("3D FIXED");
delay(5000);
//Get data from GPS
gps.getPar(lon,lat,alt,time,vel);
Serial.println(lon);
Serial.println(lat);
Serial.println(alt);
Serial.println(time);
Serial.println(vel);
}
};
void loop()
{
//Read for new byte on serial hardware,
//and write them on NewSoftSerial.
serialhwread();
//Read for new byte on NewSoftSerial.
serialswread();
};
void serialhwread()
{
i=0;
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
while (Serial.available() > 0) {
inSerial[i]=(Serial.read());
delay(10);
i++;
}
inSerial[i]='\0';
if(!strcmp(inSerial,"/END")) {
Serial.println("_");
inSerial[0]=0x1a;
inSerial[1]='\0';
gsm.SimpleWriteln(inSerial);
}
//Send a saved AT command using serial port.
if(!strcmp(inSerial,"TEST")) {
// Serial.println("BATTERY TEST 1");
// gps.getBattInf(msg1,msg2);
// Serial.println(msg1);
// Serial.println(msg2);
// Serial.println("BATTERY TEST 2");
// gps.getBattTVol(msg1);
// Serial.println(msg1);
stat=gps.getStat();
if(stat==1)
Serial.println("NOT FIXED");
else if(stat==0)
Serial.println("GPS OFF");
else if(stat==2)
Serial.println("2D FIXED");
else if(stat==3)
Serial.println("3D FIXED");
}
//Read last message saved.
if(!strcmp(inSerial,"MSG")) {
Serial.println(msg1);
} else {
Serial.println(inSerial);
gsm.SimpleWriteln(inSerial);
}
inSerial[0]='\0';
}
}
void serialswread()
{
gsm.SimpleRead();
}
I keep on getting “DB : No Resp”
I tried to connect it using FTDI and then open a serial connection to test the AT commands, I sent the command “AT” and got response as “AT” (I was expecting OK) and then whatever I send I get it back as the same
Where am i going wrong ? is there anything needs to be done ?
Here’s the link to the board I’ve bought :
Thank you so much in advanced.
