Other GSM Shield

[Erel]

A GSM shield allows the Arduino to connect to a cellular network. This opens the door to many interesting solutions, especially outdoors.

You can for example control the Arduino with SMS messages and the Arduino can send back SMS messages.

I will upload an example tomorrow that shows how to work with the GSM shield.

Hi Etrel,
Is going to be different from the GPS/GPRS example in the tutorial forum?

Edit:
Just noticed this is about the GPRS (cellular network) while that one was about GSM (SMS)

This was a promotion for this tutorial: GSM / GPRS - Control the Arduino with SMS messages

I see the GSM chip is SIM900.. that's Quad Band and can work in US as well as everywhere. I will order
this board. I already have the Uno.

hi Erel this is the official gsm shield and it's very different with the shield SIM900, it's possible to have got the libraries of official arduino shield like gsm and ethernet??

thanks a lot

Have you tried this example with this board: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/gsm-gprs-control-the-arduino-with-sms-messages.66770/ ?

yes i tried this example with the official shield of arduino but it don't recognize the hardware correctly, the gsm shield not function correctly

The GSM example is not based on any library. It sends AT commands to the GSM module. You can see the commands for the M10 here: http://www.quectel.com/UploadFile/Product/Quectel_M10_AT_Commands_Manual_V4.0.pdf

They look quite similar to the ones implemented in the example. Start with calling ATI and see whether it returns the any information.

ok,
but in the new version of b4r will be present this GSM LIBRARY with also the GPRS function for the webserver and client requests?

Maybe in the future.

thank you very much, the official gsm library of arduino is a very powerfull intrument to do many things
