We develop a GSM/GPRS modem circuit board that is compatble with Arduino or on our own version of Arduino, the gizDuino.
These kinds of circuit is known as Shields, an easy to install and compatble pins that fts to gizDuino or any other Arduino compatble
clones. With the power of SIM900D (the module that was used to our GSM/GPRS modem (Shield)), the utlizaton of SMS and voice can be init-
ate a remote control command from any range that the network service provider covers.
Not all the pins of sim900d was used to inline the compatbility of the shield to any gizDuino compatble controllers, but the unused
pins of SIM900d may yet be used because we put the uncommited ports to each pin that is ready for interfacing and soldering. We also imple-
ment a mini SIM card slot & holder for (ISO/IEC 7810:2003, ID-000) SIM cards, that will act as the medium in connectng to a network provider. ,
We also atached 3 LED indicators for easy power, command status, & network status checking, UART SUART switch for, a built in Antenna slot
for wider signal range, and a jamming port for controlling the power switch of the shield through codes or command.

How to test GSM / GPRS Shield
Using with gizDuino microcontroller
Figure 2. First, connect the gizDuino to your PC to upload
the sample sketch for GSM/GPRS shield.
Afer connectng the gizDuino to your PC, open the the CD (included in purchasing the kit.) and go to e-Gizmo KITS> GSM-GPRS
(Shield)> Sample Arduino Sketch> GSM_Shield_test> GSM_Shield_test, and afer opening the sample sketch, you need to edit some codes.
Find the line containing codes like this ( send_msg(09232814046, this is the message area edit here.); ) , on the frst quotaton mark
insert the recievers number, and on the second quotaton mark input any alphanumeric characters (it will serve as the message). Afer editng
the codes, upload the sketch and wait untl the uploading is complete and do not remove the USB cable.
Figure 3. Install the GSM/GPRS shield to the gizDuino
microcontroller..
Afer installing the GSM/GPRS shield to the microcontroller, put a 5 to 9V power supply to the GSM/GPRS shield, the Power status LED
Indicator should turn green upon supplying. Next install the antenna, and SIM card and switch the the Serial programming switch to UART and
then press the Power buton switch approximately 1-5 seconds untl the status LED indicator turn red, the Network indicator will blink fast upon
turning on, wait untl the blink has 2-3 seconds blink delay; it means the signal of the GSM/GPRS shield is stable. if the network indicators blink
is stable press the reset buton once and wait untl the number indicated in the sample sketch recieve the message.
Note: the network indicator LED may take a long tme before getng to a stable state depending on the networks signal, make sure that the
antenna is atached for more signal strength, and the SIM card you install have load that can call or text depending on your program.

GSM/GPRS Shield to PC
Figure 4. A example Interface of GSM/GPS Shield
(PC to USB-UART Serial Converter to GSM/GPRS Shield)
In testng the GSM/GPRS shield directly to you PC, we also need a 5-9V external power supply for the shield, a programming dongle
in this case we will use our USB-UART Serial TTL Converter, wires to connect the shield to the programming dongle, a SIM card, USB Cable type
A to type B, and ofcourse your PC with Hyperterminal applicaton (Hyperterminal is not available in windows vista and windows 7 but it was
downloadable through the internet.).

Now atach all the said components needed to run and test the GSM/GPRS shield just like the illustraton above (Figure 4.). Afer setng
up all the components needed, press the power buton and hold the power buton untl the the status LED indicator turn red (just like on how we
test the shield using gizDuino microcontroller) and wait untl the Network LED indicator blink normally. Now we need to open the Hyperterminal,
in opening the Hyperterminal just follow these steps (in windows XP) Click start>, All programs>, Accessories>, Communicatons>, and
fnally Hyperterminal. Afer opening it, the connecton wizard will apear and follow these steps:

GSM/GPRS Shield to PC
First, enter the name of your connecton
Second, Replace this with the COM port in which the GSM modem
is atached to. To know which COM you used, go to
(My Computer>, Propertes>, hardware tab>, Device
Manager>, Ports>).
The third step is to confgure the COM port parameters.
These parameters are the Baud Rate or Bits per second, Data bits,
Parity, Stop bits, and Flow control. Each of these must be set accord-
ing to the values found on the fgure to the lef. just click the restore
default buton and then click OK.
And last step is typing AT Commands, type the commands indicated
bellow.
Edit this feld and enter the Cellphone number that will recieve
the test message and press Enter
Edit this feld and enter the text message, and press (CTRL+Z) to send.

List of basic 'AT Commands
The characters <CR> represent a Carriage Return command. It is simply
an ENTER key command on the keyboard.
Type:
AT<CR>
GSM Response:
OK
(This is just the commands previously done.)
Type:
ATE1<CR>
GSM Response:
OK
(This command tells the GSM Modem to echo the characters you type
into the Hyper Terminal, which allows the display of every character
typed.)
Type:
AT+CMGF=1<CR>
GSM Response:
OK
(This command tells the GSM Modem to display SMS messages in the
Human Read able Text Format.)
Type:
AT+CMEE=2<CR>
GSM Response:
OK
(This command lets the GSM Modem report any errors found in a read-
able format.)
Type:
AT+CFUN=1<CR>
GSM Response:
OK
(This command sets all the GSM Modem functons to be available to
the user.)
Type:
AT+COPS=0<CR>
GSM Response:
OK
(This command lets the GSM Modem functons choose an available net-
work operator automatcally. The process may take some tme to com-
plete, and its completon is marked by the OK response. This usually
takes around 30 seconds to complete.)
Type:
AT+CPAS<CR>
GSM Response:
OK
(Whenever this command is executed during the processing tme from
the above command, it reports on the status of the loading process.
When the GSM modem is stll loading, it will respond with an OK. Oth-
erwise, if it is done it will respond Ready. If the GSM modem responds
an Error up untl a minute then the problem may result in the improp-
er atachment of the SIM card. To remedy this, turn of the GSM modem
power, carefully reatach the SIM card and check if it is properly placed,
and resume with the start up process once again.)
Display SIM number: AT+CNUM<CR>
Show operator network: AT+COPS?<CR>
Show signal quality: AT+CSQ<CR>
Display an SMS message: AT+CMGR=1<CR>
(If there are no messages in storage of the SIM card, it will return an
Error message.)
Display all SMS messages: AT+CMGL=ALL<CR>
WARNING: If there are large amounts of SMS messages in the SIM card,
this command will food your HyperTerminal with SMS messages.
Send an SMS message: AT+CMGS=SIM number<CR>
User Message <CTRL Z>
For example, if the user types in AT+CMGS=09123456789 and exe-
cutes ENTER, and types in for the message Hello There! (excluding the
apostrophes) and presses down both CTRL and Z simultaneously, the
GSM modem will send a Hello There! message to the desired number.
Note that this will cost an amount of credit or load depending on the
network service provider.
Show list of all available commands: AT+CLAC<CR>
Switches GSM Module power to OFF: AT+CPOWD<CR>
For more informaton regarding all the available commands of the GSM
module, the user may refer to the SIM900D AT Command manual.
