GSM GPS shield for Arduino Board


Posted on Feb 7, 2014

Shield for Arduino designed and based on the module GSM/GPRS SIM900 or the GSM/GPRS & GPS module SIM908, to make calls, voice and data connections via GPRS. We begin with the supply circuit a simple LM7805. To work, it is necessary to provide an input voltage between 7. 5V and 12V. As shown in the circuit diagram, the input voltage, after being st

abilized at 5 V, is reduced to 4. 3 V by using a diode and provide power to modules that need a voltage between the 3. 2 and 4. 8 V. During the operations such as the use of GPRS, the module absorbs a current of about 1 A, therefore it is necessary that the power source is able to provide this current intensity. An important technical feature is the serial adapter for the communication between the GSM module and Arduino. To reduce the tension has been used a simple voltage divider, while for raising the voltage from the GSM module to Arduino we chose a MOSFET BS170. The news that is immediately evident is the presence of two jacks for audio. With a microphone and a headset with a 3. 5 mm jack (just the standard headphones for computers), you can make a voice call ! To preserve compatibility with the Arduino Mega, we changed the selection method for the serial communication. The two different serial communication modes (hardware or software) are selectable by jumper, leaving the user the choice between the two configurations ( for serial software in this new version we adopted pins 2 and 3) or possibly use the pin to your choice with a simple wire connection. With this solution you can use the Arduino Mega using two of the four serial that it has, or possibly carry out the communication through a serial software via two pins of your choice. Always to preserve maximum flexibility and customization, there are some pins on the...
