Hello,
I bought SIM900 today and I'm trying to make it work.
That's the code:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
//Create software serial object to communicate with SIM900
SoftwareSerial mySerial(7, 8); //SIM900 Tx & Rx is connected to Arduino #7 & #8
void setup()
{
//Begin serial communication with Arduino and Arduino IDE (Serial Monitor)
Serial.begin(9600);
//Begin serial communication with Arduino and SIM900
mySerial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Initializing...");
delay(1000);
mySerial.println("AT"); //Handshaking with SIM900
updateSerial();
mySerial.println("AT+CSQ"); //Signal quality test, value range is 0-31 , 31 is the best
updateSerial();
mySerial.println("AT+CCID"); //Read SIM information to confirm whether the SIM is plugged
updateSerial();
mySerial.println("AT+CREG?"); //Check whether it has registered in the network
updateSerial();
}
void loop()
{
updateSerial();
}
void updateSerial()
{
delay(500);
while (Serial.available())
{
mySerial.write(Serial.read());//Forward what Serial received to Software Serial Port
}
while(mySerial.available())
{
Serial.write(mySerial.read());//Forward what Software Serial received to Serial Port
}
}
I followed this tutorial fully https://lastminuteengineers.com/sim900-gsm-shield-arduino-tutorial/
Now, my NetLight blinks once every 3 seconds which means it has found the network but hasn't connected, judging by the LED statuses. The code is stuck on Initializing.. and "AT" command isn't doing anything. Ideas ?
