Development
You can use GSM library to test, https://github.com/Microduino/Microduino_Tutorials/tree/master/Microduino_Libraries/GSM
Note:This library only supports Microduino-core.
Application
Send the text message using library's example program.
Prepare Work
- Prepared hardware:Microduino FT232R, Microduino Core, Microduino GSM, USB cable or lithium battery;
- Prepared software: GSM library, Arduino IDE (1.0.3 release and upper);
- Uncompress the zip folder to libraries of Arduino IDE;
- Connect the Microduino FT232R and PC using USB cable to download program and serial monitor;
- USB data cable or lithium battery to power Microduino GSM module and press the power button to make Microduino GSM boot, about maintaining 4S, turn on lights to indicate a successful boot.
Debug
- Open the example program SendSMS from examples folder;
- After compiled, select the board "Microduino Core (Atmega328P@16M,5V)", download directly;
- Opne the serial monitor, set the baud rate, and set to the line and press enter, will print "SMS Messages Sender";
- Input is completed, press enter, it will prompt you to input the sent content,
- Input is completed, press enter, you can see the text message sending progress. After completed, displays "COMPLETE!".
