The Sixfab Raspberry Pi IoT Shield Family was made specifically to add connectivity to your IoT projects. You can now connect wherever and whenever without the need for a wifi network or ethernet cables. With our added capabilities, the IoT Shield Family will also work with other devices, not only the Raspberry Pi. This Kickstarter…
A new useful and intuitive Android app to easy manage our TDG133 GSM remote control. In this blog we often use the SIM900 GSM module for remote control applications, like the TDG133 (2 IN / 2 OUT) , TDG134 (Gate opener), TDG139 (Temperature control) and TDG140 (2 IN / 2 OUT with DTMF) remote controls. They are home automation devices that…
We’ll show you today how, with just a few modifications, we can apply the GSM/GPS shield management library to the Arduino compliant TiDiGino open source remote control, so you can manage optimally the capabilities of the SIM900 mounted on it to implement cellular connectivity. As you may know already, TiDiGino is the development and prototyping…
So cool, this is a very interesting project and also mentions Open Electronics as a source of knowledge and inspiration: in cities with larger number of cell towers GSM tracking should be accurate to within 100 meters while in rural and remote locations this may rise to up to 10 km( It absolutely depends on…
SparqEE is a Cellular development board that gives you Wireless Worldwide. It provides boards for both, Arduino and Raspberry! Important Facts: The CELLv1.0 uses a 2G+3G chipset, which means it will use 3G primarily worldwide and only fall back to 2G if 3G is unavailable. Question: Why are 2G (GSM/GPRS) devices less expensive? Answer: some…
Once again we have prepared some examples related to the GSM/GPRS & GPS shield. In previous posts we have seen how to handle SMS, make calls and use the GPRS connection to send email or download data from Internet pages. The shield has been developed to accommodate both forms of SIMComs: SIM900 and SIM908: the…
It’s small but packed with features. The GSM alarm we present today, sports a PIR motion sensor, can be battery operated and it’s capable to communicate via GSM. It can transmit alarm conditions and receive commands from remote. It’s also capable to indicate problems such as is insufficient voltage supply or tampering. It’s not so…
After having shown several examples regarding the use the GSM/GPRS & GPS shield with calls and text messages we are now going to present some applications that involve GPRS data. Thanks to the inet.h class the shield can indeed connect to the internet and its various applications. We ‘ll see how to use the Arduino as…
This post is one in a series showing you the main features of the GSM /GPRS/GPS shield and of its related library. The examples are great to have inspiration and reuse the material to create your own solutions. We already talked about how to use the shield to make calls, send DTMF tones and…
A few months ago, we presented a powerful shield that can enable devices from the Arduino family (Uno and Mega) to interface with the SIMCOM modules SIM900 and SIM908. Such modules provide integration with the world of GSM, GPRS and GPS and all is achieved through very simple Arduino commands thanks to the open-source dedicated…
. Connected to a burglar alarm or fire alarm in the event of making phone calls playing voice messages. Controlled via DTMF actuators can operate on the spot. In recent years we have introduced several telecontrols based on the SIM900 GSM module. We released schematics and code for a gate opener (that activates when receiveing…
AT command tester is a free online software tool that is used to test AT commands and other functionalities of GSM modems. The friendly user interface allows developers to Configure and connect to modem ports Send single or batch of AT commands Perform modem diagnostics Establish 3G or GPRS call Collect and save modem logs…
