Whether you want to listen to what happens in your house that’s miles away from you or activate sprinkler system in your garden just with a silent call; Then SIM800L GSM/GPRS module serves as a solid launching point for you to get you started with IoT! More info
In the previous episode, we have described the library and the functions made available by it. Now we will introduce a series of sketches through which you will see in practice how the library works and it’s potential. The sketches will implement functions such as receiving or sending SMS, voice calls, managing certain generic…
Let’s discover a useful library to manage various low-cost GSM/GPRS modules, in order to provide cellular connectivity to our Arduino projects. Second part. In the previous episode, we introduced the shield hardware and exposed the technical features and possible applications, as well as mentioned the library for Arduino, here we complete the previous speech…
It supports various low-cost GSM/GPRS modules in order to provide cellular connectivity to our Arduino projects. First part. Given the growing demand for electronic equipment with connection to the GSM/GPRS network, we decided to develop a new GSM shield for the Arduino and Raspberry Pi 3 platforms, capable of supporting various modules on…
GSM0308-11 is an Enfora Enabler IIIG Quad-Band GSM/GPRS module with B2B RF connector and SIM holder. The Enfora Enabler IIIG is a fully certified quad-band OEM module family that packs complete GSM/GPRS functionality into a compact footprint. The embedded software environment enables development of mobile connectivity and device intelligence by utilizing built-in program rules engine,…
The new Orange Pi 2G-IoT features a 2G antenna for Internet of Things applications, as well as offering wireless LAN and Bluetooth for a price of $10. The Orange Pi 2G-IoT goes up against the recently released Raspberry Pi Zero W, which also costs $10, and offers wireless LAN and Bluetooth but not mobile network access….
Open Electronics is working with our friend Francesco Ficili to work out a new modular development system for IoT application: the Mercury System, soon available on our store. It is a modular HW/SW development platform composed by: A main unit to implement the programmable logic block Various networks units to add the connectivity Several slave units…
One of the strongest trend we have seen this year at CES2015 is, as you can imagine easily, the IoT (Internet of Things) development. Consequently, the most important component needed is the “connection and communication” module that enables the remote interaction between the device and “the community” via internet. Here we will sum up the…
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…
A few days ago we showed you how to use the Raspberry GSM shield using the arduPi library created by Libelium and available under the GNU General Public License that you can download from Cooking Hacks. Now we’ll see a further functioning mode, one that allows you to interact directly with the serial port using…
Today we present an expansion shield for Raspberry Pi to control the very effective GSM/GPRS SIM900 and SIM908 (with GPS) modules: in this way it is possible to extend the functionality of Raspberry Pi for mobile applications (eg: remote control) and, by employing the SIM908 module, even the GPS functionality. Even if we will describe…
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…
