This is a very low cost and simple Arduino GSM and GPRS shield. We use the module SIMCom SIM900. It’s the cheaper module now avalaible in the market. The module is not simple to mount by an hobbyst, so we use the Breakboard TDGGSM_900 that we presented in this post.

You can buy the GSM module premounted from our cart.

To connect this module to Arduino we make a PCB that include a LM317 some capacitor filter and no more.

The LM317 give to module about 3.9V.
There is a switch to select the way to comunicate with arduino:
– throw serial hardware (pin 0 and 1)
– throw serial software (pin 4 and 5)

R1: 470 ohm
R2: 1 kohm
C1-C3: 100 nF
C2-C4: 470 µF 25 VLU1: LM317
GSM: TDGGSM_900 module

SW1: switch
P1: Microswitch

Selecting the serial hardware there are no problem with the baudrate (the default module baudrate is 115200) but there are problem programming the module (the serial is also used to upload the sketch).
Using instead the pin 4 and 5 there aren’t problems to upload the sketch but the maximum baudrate for NewSoftSerial (the serial library) is 57600.
We performed a GSM library to controll easly the module. The GSM library is a modified version of the library of HWKitchen.
With our version we controll the module throw the pin 4 and 5 (so normal digital pin) and our GSM libray include also the NewSoftSerial, so you can easy control the module, send and read SMS, make call, control the GSM state ecc.

New GSM/GPRS library

 

 

 

This is the GSM_shield library documentation:

Here is a GSM_shield Library intended for GSM Shield by Futura Elettronica (www.futurashop.it).

This Library is derived from Hwkitchen’s GSM Library http://www.hwkitchen.com and include the NewSoftSerial library to comunicate using the pin 4 (RX) and 5 (TX).

You can also use the pin 0 and 1 (RX and TX) but you must disconnect the module to upload the sketch (so it’s not very nice), and you must modify the library.

How install the library for Arduino

After downloading of the GSM_Shield Library unzip the GSM_Shield folder to Arduino

Folder\libraries\ (es. C:\Programs\arduino-0022\libraries\GSM_Shield)

In the GSM_Shield.zip you can find the library to comunicate with gsm module and the file for use the NewSoftSerial.

Basic description

GSM_Shield library is created as standard class with the Gsm_Shield.cpp and Gsm_Shield.h source files. GSM_Shield class is based mainly on the serial communication

between the Arduino board and the GSM module placed on the GSM Shield. There are used standard AT commands for the communication with the GSM Module.

The Current version of library uses blocking version of communication.

It means that the program is blocked until the communication function is finished – so until required data are sent and required answer is received. The Advantage of that blocking approach is that it is easy to

understand the program flow. On the other hand there is also disadvantage that we can’t use the processor resources in the time when the program just waits for the incoming data.

Note: please pay attention to serial comunication mode. With the serial hardware (pin 0 and 1) you can reach the default baudrate of the module SIM900 (115200). But if you use the pin 4 and 5 the NewSoftSerial library can’t support (receive) the baudrate, so you must chose a lower baudrate.

With the command TurnOn(baudrate) you turn on the module and fix the baudrate. e.g. TurnOn(9600);

Methods

There are described important functions for the end user in this document.

The GSM_Shield Library contains also some functions that are used internally

and are not described in the document. It is also possible to use these

functions by the end user of course as they are defined as public but there

is needed to check the library source code with notes.
int LibVer(void)

returns library version in format XYY -it means X.YY (e.g. 100 means vers. 1.00)

Sample: GSM_Shield_LibVer
void TurnOn(baud)

turns on the GSM module in case module is off and sends some initialization AT commands which are possible to send before registration -> InitParam(PARAM_SET_0)

Should be used at the beginning of the sketch in the setup() function.

Set also the module baudrate (Note: if you use the hardware serial, there are no limit to the baudrate, 115200 is possibile. But using the pin 4 and 5 the NewSoftSerial must be use and the baud limit is 57600).

baud value possibile: 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200(no use with this library which include NewSoftSerial)

void setup()

{

gsm.TurnOn(9600);

}

Sample: GSM_Shield_LibVer

 

void InitParam(byte group)

Sends parameters for initialization of GSM module
group:  0 – parameters of group 0 – not necessary to be registered in the GSM

AT&F

1 – parameters of group 1 – it is necessary to be registered

AT+CLIP=1

AT+CMEE=0

AT+CMGF=1

Sample: GSM_Shield_LibVer

void Echo(byte state)
Function to enable or disable echo

Echo(1)   enable GSM echo mode

Echo(0)   disable GSM echo mode

Sample: GSM_Shield_LibVer

byte CheckRegistration(void)

checks if the GSM module is registered in the GSM net.

This method communicates directly with the GSM module in contrast to the method IsRegistered() which reads the flag from the module_status

(this flag is set inside this method)

must be called regularly at the one place in the main sketch loop

(recommendation repeat time is from 1sec. to 10 sec.)

return valus:

REG_NOT_REGISTERED – not registered

REG_REGISTERED – GSM module is registered

REG_NO_RESPONSE – GSM doesn’t response

REG_COMM_LINE_BUSY – comm line is not free

Sample: GSM_Shield_Reg

 

byte IsRegistered(void)

returns flag if the GSM module is registered in the GSM net

this method does not communicate directly with the GSM module,

just reads the flag so it is very fast unlike CheckRegistration()

which takes more than 20msec.

it is recommended to use this function everytime it is necessary to use some GSM function which needs GSM module is registered – checking ingoing SMSs, checking calls etc.

return valus:

0 – not registered

>0 – GSM module is registered

Sample: GSM_Shield_Reg

 

byte CallStatus(void)

checks call status

return values:

CALL_NONE – no call

CALL_INCOM_VOICE – incoming voice call

CALL_ACTIVE_VOICE – active voice call

CALL_NO_RESPONSE – no response

Sample: GSM_Shield_Call

 

byte CallStatusWithAuth(char *phone_number, byte first_authorized_pos, byte last_authorized_pos)

checks status of call(incoming or active) and makes authorization with specified SIM positions range

parameters and return values:

phone_number: a pointer where the tel. number string of current call will be placed so the space for the phone number string must be reserved

first_authorized_pos: initial SIM phonebook position where the authorization process starts

last_authorized_pos: last SIM phonebook position where the authorization process finishes

Note(important):

================

In case first_authorized_pos=0 and also last_authorized_pos=0 the received incoming phone number is NOT authorized at all, so every incoming is considered as authorized (CALL_INCOM_VOICE_NOT_AUTH is returned)

return:

CALL_NONE – no call activity

CALL_INCOM_VOICE_AUTH – incoming voice – authorized

CALL_INCOM_VOICE_NOT_AUTH – incoming voice – not authorized

CALL_ACTIVE_VOICE – active voice

CALL_INCOM_DATA_AUTH – incoming data call – authorized

CALL_INCOM_DATA_NOT_AUTH – incoming data call – not authorized

CALL_ACTIVE_DATA – active data call

Sample: GSM_Shield_Call

 

void HangUp(void)

hangs up call(incoming or active)

Sample: GSM_Shield_Call

 

void Call(char *number_string)

last_authorized_pos: last SIM phonebook position where the authorization proces finishes

Note(important):
