Microduino-GPRS/GSM module can get Microduino core board connected to the internet and achieve the function of sending and receiving messages when it is just inserted with a SIM card and follows some simple instructions.
Features
- ESD protection;
- Capable of being charged by USB, li-ion or other power supply options;
- Support automatic baud rate detection function;
- Capable of sending AT instructions and data through the serial port;
- Small, cheap, stackable and open;
- Open hardware circuit design and Arduino compatible programming development environment;
- Uniformed Microduino interface standard and rich peripheral modules, capable of having a fast and flexible connection and extension with other modules and sensors in accord with Microduino interface standard;
- Easy to be integrated to pegboards with a 2.45-pitch female header connector interface.

Document
Development
You can use GSM library to test, https://github.com/Microduino/Microduino_Tutorials/tree/master/Microduino_Libraries/_03_Microduino_GSM_SIM800L
Note：This library only supports Microduino-core.
Application
Sending short messages through the example program in the library.
Preparation
- Hardware：Microduino FT232R, Microduino Core, Microduino GSM, USB cable or lithium battery；
- Software: GSM library, Arduino IDE (version 1.0.3 and higher)；
- Uncompress the zip folder to libraries of Arduino IDE；
- Connect the Microduino FT232R and PC using USB cable to download program and monitor the serial port；
- USB cable or li-ion battery to charge the Microduino GSM module and press the power button for a long time to activate Microduino GSM for about 4 seconds. That the power-on indicator goes on shows a successful start.
Debugging
- Open SendSMS test program in the examples；
- After it gets compiled successfully, just select the board "Microduino Core (Atmega328P@16M,5V)" and download directly；
- Open the serial monitor(The serial monitor is set to the format of "Newline" and "Enter" ), set the baud rate, and the "SMS Messages Sender" will be printed;
- You need to wait for Microduino GSM module reading SIM card about 10 seconds. If that goes well, "GSM initialized" will be displayed and a note will pop up to remind you to input one number.
- After the input, just press the Enter key, it will remind you to write your message.
- Just press the Enter key after the input, the sending process will be displayed and then you can see "COMPLETE". .
FQA
- Does this module can be used to make a voice phone? Any voice pin was picked out?
- This module can’t be made a voice phone, because it doesn’t have pin.
- Does this module can work with Core+ module?
- Does this module can use Arduino GSM library?
- Does this module can use to 3G?
- No, it only supports GPRS and GSM.
- How to power on this module?
- There are two methods:
- Using the USB on attached module to supply the power, the voltage is 5V and the current MUST lager than 1A.
- Using Li-ion battery on attached module to supply the power, the Li-ion should be 3.7V.
BM module can power on the Core module and other module, such as 10DOF, but don't suggest to power GPRS/GSM module, because it is a big power consumption module.
