SIM900 GPRS/GSM Arduino Shield Development Board (Quad Band)

Description:

This GSM Shield Sim900 provides you a way to use the GSM cell phone network to receive data from a remote location, it delivers GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900MHz signals for Audio, SMS and GPRS Service.

This GPRS/GSM shield is configured and controlled via its UART using AT commands. Learn the basic usage of this Shied in Instructables.

Features:

• The GPRS Shield provides you a way to communicate using the GSM cell phone network.
• The GPRS Shield is based on SIM900 module from SIMCOM and compatible with Arduino and its clones.
• The shield also has the 12 GPIOs, 2 PWMs and an ADC of the SIM900 module(They are all 2V8 logic) present on board.
• The shield allows you to achieve SMS, MMS, GPRS and Audio via UART by sending AT commands (GSM 07.07 ,07.05 and SIMCOM enhanced AT Commands).
• This module power supply for: 5V~26V, if more than 5V power supply must be in 2A, recommend a 9V power supply. Plug in the Arduino motherboard, power supply must be able to provide 2A current.
