INTRODUCTION
The
Arduino GSM Shield allows an Arduino board to connect to the internet,
make/receive voice calls and send/receive SMS messages. The shield uses a radio
modem M10 by Quectel. It is possible to communicate with the board using AT
commands. The GSM library has a large number of methods for communication with
the shield.
The
shield uses digital pins 2 and 3 for software serial communication with the
M10. Pin 2 is connected to the M10’s TX pin and pin 3 to its RX pin. See these
notes for working with an Arduino Mega, Mega ADK, or Leonardo. The modem's
PWRKEY pin is connected to Arduino pin 7.
The
M10 is a Quad-band GSM/GPRS modem that works at frequencies GSM850MHz,
GSM900MHz, DCS1800MHz and PCS1900MHz. It supports TCP/UDP and HTTP protocols
through a GPRS connection. GPRS data downlink and uplink transfer speed maximum
is 85.6 kbps.
To
interface with the cellular network, the board requires a SIM card provided by
a network operator. The most recent revision of the board uses the 1.0 pinout
on rev 3 of the Arduino Uno board.
