This project can also be implemented using a PIC18F4520 microcontroller. We have

schematic and C library available.
A GSM/GPRS Module (http://store.extremeelectronics.co.in/GSM-GPRS-Modem-SIM300-KIT.html)
like SIM300 can be used for any embedded application that requires a long range
communication, like a robot in Chennai controlled by a person sitting in New Delhi! Or simply a
water pump in a rice field turned on in the morning by a farmer sitting in his house few
kilometers away! You have few communication options depending on the application, they may
be as follows.
Simple SMS based communication
Turn on/off loads using simple SMS commands, so the controlling device is a standard
handset. You can use any mobile phone to control the device.
A intruder alarm/fire alarm that informs about the panic situation to the house owner on
his/her mobile via SMS.
Call based communication
A smart intruder alarm/fire alarm that calls the police or fire station and plays a pre
recorded audio message to inform about the emergency.
Internet Based Communication (GPRS)
User can control the end application using any PC/Tablet/Mobile with internet connection.
Example: LED Message Displays installed on highways/expressways controlled from a
central control room to inform users or traffic conditions ahead.
A robot controlled over internet. That means the robot can be accessed from any device
having internet any where in the world.
A portable device installed on vehicles that connects to internet using the GPRS Module
SIM300 and uploads current position(using Global Position System) to a server. The server
stores those location in a database with the ID of vehicle. Then a client(using a PC) can
connect with the server using World Wide Web to see the route of the vehicle.
Advantage of using SIM300 Module.

The SIM300 KIT (http://store.extremeelectronics.co.in/GSM-GPRS-Modem-SIM300-KIT.html) is a
fully integrated module with SIM card holder, power supply etc. This module can be easily
connected with low cost MCUs like AVR/PIC/8051. The basic communication is over asynchronous
serial line (http://extremeelectronics.co.in/avr-tutorials/rs232-communication-the-basics/). This
is the most basic type of serial communication thats why it is very popular and hardware
support is available in most MCUs. The data is transmitted bit by bit in a frame consisting a
complete byte. Thus at high level it is viewed as a simple text stream. Their are only two streams
one is from MCU to SIM300 and other is from SIM300 to MCU. Commands are sent as simple text.
Their are several tutorials that describes how to send and receive strings over the serial line.

If you have never heard of serial communication and never did it in practice then it is highly
recommend to go and understand clearly using some thing simpler (experiments given in above
links).
Communication with SIM300 Module using

AVR UART.
The hardware(inside the AVR MCU Chip) that is used to to serial communication is called the
UART, we use this UART to communicate with the SIM300 module (the UART can also be used to
communicate with other devices like RFID Readers, GPS Modules, Finger Print Scanner etc.). Since
UART is such a common method of communication in embedded world that we have made a
clean and easy to use library that we use in all our UART based projects.
Since a byte can arrive to MCU any time from the sender (SIM300), suppose if the MCU is busy
doing something else, then what happens? To solve this, we have implemented a interrupt based
buffering of incoming data. A buffer is maintained in the RAM of MCU to store all incoming
character. Their is a function to inquire about the number of bytes waiting in this queue.
Following are the functions in AVR USART library
voidUSARTInit(uint16_tubrrvalue)
Initializes the AVR USART Hardware. The parameter ubrrvalue is

required to set desired baud rate for communication. By default SIM300
communicates at 9600 bps. For an AVR MCU running at 16MHz the
ubrrvalue comes to be 103.
charUReadData()
Reads a single character from the queue. Returns 0 if no data is

available in the queue.
voidUWriteData(chardata)
3/52
12/22/2015
voidUWriteData(chardata)
Writes a single byte of data to the Tx Line, used by UWriteString()

function.
uint8_tUDataAvailable()
Tells you the amount of data available in the FIFO queue.
voidUWriteString(char*str)
Writes a complete C style null terminated string to the Tx line.

Example #1:
UWriteString("HelloWorld!");
Example #2:
charname[]="Avinash!";
UWriteString(name);
voidUReadBuffer(void*buff,uint16_tlen)
Copies the content of the fifo buffer to the memory pointed by buff, the
4/52
12/22/2015
Copies the content of the fifo buffer to the memory pointed by buff, the
amount of data to be copied is specified by len parameter. If UART
incoming fifo buffer have fewer data than required (as per len
parameter) then latter areas will contain zeros.
Example:
chargsm_buffer[128];
UReadBuffer(gsm_buffer,16);
The above example will read 16 bytes of data (if available) from
the incoming fifo buffer to the variable gsm_buffer. Please note
that we have allocated gsm_buffer as 128 byte array because
latter we may need to read more than 16 bytes. So the same
buffer can be used latter to read data up to 128 bytes.
The above function is used generally along with UDataAvailable()
function.
while(UDataAvailable()<16)
{
//Donothing
}
chargsm_buffer[128];
UReadBuffer(gsm_buffer,16);
The above code snippet waits until we have 16 bytes of data

available in the buffer, then read all of them.
voidUFlushBuffer()
Removes all waiting data in the fifo buffer. Generally before sending
new command to GSM Module we first clear up the data waiting in the
fifo.
The above functions are used to send and receive text stream from the GSM Module SIM300.
SIM300 AT Command Set

SIM300 AT Command Set

Now you know the basics of AVR USART library and how to use it to initialize the USART, send
and receive character data, its time for us to move ahead and look what commands are
available with SIM300 module and how we issue commands and check the response. SIM300
supports several functions like sending text messages, making phone call etc. Each of the tasks is
done using a command, and sim300 has several commands known as the command set.
All SIM300 commands are prefixed with AT+ and are terminated by a Carriage Return (or <CR> in
short). The ASCII code of CR is 0x0D (decimal 13). Anything you write to SIM300 will be echoed
back from sim300s tx line. That means if you write a command which is 7 bytes long (including
the trailing CR) then immediately you will have same 7 bytes in the MCUs UART incoming buffer.
If you dont get the echo back then it means something is wrong !
So the first function we develop is SIM300Cmd(const char *cmd) which does the following job :(NOTE: All sim300 related function implementations are kept in file sim300.c, and prototypes and
constants are kept in sim300.h)
Writes the command given by parameter cmd.
Appends CR after the command.
Waits for the echo, if echo arrives before timeout it returns SIM300_OK(constant defined in
sim300.h). If we have waited too long and echo didnt arrive then it returns SIM300_TIMEOUT.
Implementation of SIM300Cmd()
int8_tSIM300Cmd(constchar*cmd)
6/52
12/22/2015
int8_tSIM300Cmd(constchar*cmd)
{
UWriteString(cmd);//SendCommand
UWriteData(0x0D);//CR
uint8_tlen=strlen(cmd);
len++;//Add1fortrailingCRaddedtoallcommands
uint16_ti=0;
//Waitforecho
while(i<10*len)
{
if(UDataAvailable()<len)
{
i++;
_delay_ms(10);
continue;
}
else
{
//Wegotanecho
//Nowcheckit
UReadBuffer(sim300_buffer,len);//ReadserialData
returnSIM300_OK;
}
}
returnSIM300_TIMEOUT;
}
Commands are usually followed by a response. The form of the response is like this
<CR><LF><response><CR><LF>
LF is Line Feed whose ASCII Code is 0x0A (10 in decimal)
So after sending a command we need to wait for a response, three things can happen while
waiting for a response :
No response is received after waiting for a long time, reason can be that the SIM300 is not
connected properly with the MCU.
Response is received but not as expected, reason can be faulty serial line or incorrent baud
rate setting or MCU is running at some other frequency than expected.
Correct response is received.
For example, command Get Network Registration is executed like this :-
7/52
12/22/2015
For example, command Get Network Registration is executed like this :Command String: "AT+CREG?"
Response:
<CR><LF>+CREG: <n>,<stat><CR><LF>
<CR><LF>OK<CR><LF>
So you can see the correct response is 20 bytes. So after sending command "AT+CREG?" we wait
until we have received 20 bytes of data or certain amount of time has elapsed. The second
condition is implemented to avoid the risk of hanging up if the sim300 module malfunctions.
That means we do not keep waiting forever for response we simply throw error if SIM300 is
taking too long to respond (this condition is called timeout)
If correct response is received we analyses variable <stat> to get the current network
registration.
depending on current network registration status the value of stat can be
0

Implementation of SIM300GetNetStat() Function
8/52
12/22/2015
int8_tSIM300GetNetStat()
{
//SendCommand
SIM300Cmd("AT+CREG?");
//Nowwaitforresponse
uint16_ti=0;
//correctresponseis20bytelong
//Sowaituntilwehavegot20bytes
//inbuffer.
while(i<10)
{
if(UDataAvailable()<20)
{
i++;
_delay_ms(10);
continue;
}
else
{
//Wegotaresponsethatis20byteslong
//Nowcheckit
UReadBuffer(sim300_buffer,20);//ReadserialData
if(sim300_buffer[11]=='1')
returnSIM300_NW_REGISTERED_HOME;
elseif(sim300_buffer[11]=='2')
returnSIM300_NW_SEARCHING;
elseif(sim300_buffer[11]=='5')
returnSIM300_NW_REGISTED_ROAMING;
else
returnSIM300_NW_ERROR;
}
}
//Wewaitedsolongbutgotnoresponse
//Sotellcallerthatwetimedout
}
Similarly we have implemented the following functions :int8_t SIM300IsSIMInserted()

In another type of response we dont exactly know the size of response like we knew for the
above command. Example is the Get Service Provider Name command where the provider names
9/52
12/22/2015
above command. Example is the Get Service Provider Name command where the provider names
length cannot be known in advance. It can be Airtel or Reliance or TATA Docomo. To handle that
situation we make use of the fact that all response are followed by a CR LF pair. So we simple
buffer in all characters until we encounter a CR, that indicates end of response.
To simplify handling of such commands we have made a function called
SIM300WaitForResponse(uint16_t timeout)
This function waits for a response from SIM300 module (end of response is indicated by a CR), it
returns the size if response received, while the actual response is copied to the global variable
sim300_buffer[].
If no response is received before timeout it returns 0. Timeout in millisecond can be specified by
the parameter timeout. It does not count the trailing LF or the last <CR><LF>OK<CR><LF>, they
remain in the UART fifo queue. So before returning we call UFlushBuffer() to remove those from
the queue.
Implementation of function SIM300WaitForResponse(uint16_t timeout)
int8_tSIM300WaitForResponse(uint16_ttimeout)
{
uint8_ti=0;
uint16_tn=0;
while(1)
{
while(UDataAvailable()==0&&n<timeout){n++;_delay_ms(1);}
if(n==timeout)
return0;
else
{
sim300_buffer[i]=UReadData();
if(sim300_buffer[i]==0x0D&&i!=0)
returni+1;
else
i++;
}
}
}
Implementation of function SIM300GetProviderName(char *name)

The function does the following :1. Flush the USART buffer to get rid of any leftover response from the last command or
errors.
2. It send the command "AT+CSPN?" using SIM300Cmd("AT+CSPN?"); function call.
10/52
12/22/2015
3. Then it waits for a response using the function SIM300WaitForResponse()

4. If we receive a response of non zero length we parse it to extract string describing the
service provider name.
5. If SIM300WaitForResponse() returns zero that means no valid response is received within
specified time out period. In this case we also return SIM300_TIMEOUT.
In the same way we have implemented the following functions :uint8_t SIM300GetProviderName(char *name)
int8_t SIM300GetIMEI(char *emei)
int8_t SIM300GetManufacturer(char *man_id)
int8_t SIM300GetModel(char *model)
uint8_tSIM300GetProviderName(char*name)
{
UFlushBuffer();
//SendCommand
SIM300Cmd("AT+CSPN?");
uint8_tlen=SIM300WaitForResponse(1000);
if(len==0)
char*start,*end;
start=strchr(sim300_buffer,'"');
start++;
end=strchr(start,'"');
*end='\0';
strcpy(name,start);
returnstrlen(name);
}

Troubleshooting
NO Display on LCD
Make sure AVR Studio Project is set up for clock frequency of 16MHz (16000000Hz)
Adjust the Contrast Adj Pot.
Press reset few times.
Power On/Off few times.
Connect the LCD only as shown on schematic above.
On SIM300 Initialization phase if you get error "No Response"
Check Rx,Tx and GND line connection between SIM300 and the xBoard.
Make sure crystal frequency is 16MHz only.
Fuse bits are set as described above.
Compiler Errors
1. Many people these days has jumped to embedded programming without a solid concept
of computer science and programming. They dont know the basics of compiler and lack
experience. To learn basic of compilers and their working PC/MAC/Linux( I mean a
desktop or laptop) are great platform. But embedded system is not good for learning
about compilers and programming basics. It is for those who already have these skills
and just want to apply it.
2. Make sure all files belonging to the LCD Library are "added" to the "Project".
3. avr-gcc is installed. (The Windows Binary Distribution is called WinAVR
(http://winavr.sourceforge.net/))
4. The AVR Studio project Type is AVR GCC.
5. Basics of Installing and using AVR Studio with avr-gcc is described in this tutorial
(extremeelectronics.co.in/lfrm8/Help/AS6.htm)
General Tips for newbies
Use ready made development boards (http://store.extremeelectronics.co.in/DevelopmentBoards/) and programmers (http://store.extremeelectronics.co.in/Programmers/).
Try to follow the AVR Tutorial Series (http://extremeelectronics.co.in/category/avrtutorials/page/4/) from the very beginning. (Remember the list spans four pages, page 1 is
most recent addition thus most advance)

Nice tutorial for GSM, any idea for GPRS communication tutorial.
Also one more thing, just blur the imei number on the LCD. Since its not safe to show
the imei number on web.

Hi avinash really awesum tutorialsman.!!
i m working on AVR microcontrollers. I used various development board but really
those boards needs to be upgraded so i m plaining to designed my own
development board.
I have no issues with the interfacing any component or circuit.
Just need your help in designing PCB layout..
I can do that small less complicated circuit but for the huge complex complex circuit..
i dont know but i m worried about it a little.
can u provide me a tutorial on designing PCB layout in the extremeelectronics
style.
i m totally impressed the way u explain things.. just waiting for tutorial on this
topic from your side.

Hello
Nice TutorialI am working on GSM Modem SIm300 with 8051 Micro.
When i got message NO DIAL TONE from modem, Micro gets hanged up.I tried reset
Command also to reset GSM Modem but with no success.
To solve it i gave a delay of approx 2 minute. After that it work properly. Any idea to
solve it without using delay.
One problem arises. When i made a call to only one number again and again, it
works properly. But when i call to two numbers one after the other in a loop, it works
only for one time and after that micro gets hanged.
Any idea to solve above two problems.

By Parminder Singh - September 20, 2012 12:18 pm

Hi Avinash,
I bought one RF ID reader and one GSM modem from ur website.
Is it possible to connect these two with one UART ? Bcoz I am using ATmega32. So pls
tell me how to use it.
By Gangster - September 20, 2012 1:06 pm

Better use Atmega324 having two usart..!!!
By gaurav - September 20, 2012 1:25 pm

You are right,but cost of Atmega324 is double than Atmega32.So it is better to
use Atmega32 with software USART. Thank
you.
By gaurav - September 20, 2012 1:16 pm

Yes Parminder, it is certainly possible to connect one RF ID and one GSM modem
with one Atmega32.For this you can hire a developer or give it to a consultancy
firm.Further,we can help you.Connect one of device with hardware USART and
another one with software USART.A soft USART library helps in connecting more
32/52
12/22/2015
another one with software USART.A soft USART library helps in connecting more
than one
serial devices to a MCU which only has a single hardware USART. For example you
may connect a GSM Module and GPS Module at the same time to a low cost MCU
like
ATmega8. Otherwise you have to look for a MCU which has two serial ports, but
that will be a costly option. So this library helps you emmulate a second software
serial
port! Thank you
By Parminder Singh - September 21, 2012 10:43 am

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for your response.
Where will I get this Software library for serial port ?
Pls reply soon.
Thanks in advance.
By gaurav - September 21, 2012 11:44 am

Parminder,you have to made the software library by yourself or you can get
this made from a consultancy firm. Thank you

@ it is certainly possible to connect one RF ID and one GSM modem with one
Atmega32.For this you can hire a developer or give it to a consultancy..
i would like to pay for Atmega324.instead..

why to make things complicated when we can actually minimize the
complexity
Parminder bro i still suggest atmega324rest up to u.

@Gangster, you are confusing smart solution with complication
If all engineers start thinking like you, we wont get multimedia branded mobile
@Rs. 2500/-!
Which few years back, used to costs Rs. 25K!
And mobile calls would have never been be free ! And in reach off all !
Even if you consider a product with minimal life time and produced only 100
units. That will save you Rs. 20000/- ! (considering Rs 200 over head on each
product).
And I wrote a soft USART in 2 hours flat! So I saved Rs. 20,000 in just 2 hours !

@avinash
well i thought he was planing to make a single piece and to hire a developer and
give him his consaltancy for the same will cost him more than a 324.
if he can do it by his own then there is no better option than using a soft usart.

Actually I thought he is a professional guy thats why pointed him a
professional solution, I did not knew if he was some child playing with a toy !
Ha ha one piece ? Why would any one make 1 piece!!! At least if he is in the
field, he may face similar situation atleast twice ! What do you say ?

Hello Mr.Avinash
Thank you very much for your website.
I have a question :
I am using SIM900 instead of SIM300.unfortunately i got NO RESPONSE response
and the microcontroller stops on this response and dont move further in.
Is the problem with SIM900?it means that if i use SIM300 the problem will be solved?
or the problem is on other part of circuit?i made the circuit exactly according to your
above schematic on a breadboard.
Pleae advise me in this regard.
Thanks and best.
By Avinash - February 12, 2013 9:51 am

@Kamran,
In your childhood you must have been taught time is money so you should not
spend valuable time, please use exactly same hardware as shown to avoid
problems. Do not use breadboard for making circuit, use development boards as
the aim of the project is to learn GSM interfacing and NOT bread boarding.

By rajesh - May 12, 2013 10:14 pm

online on this site
By ujjwal - May 2, 2013 4:29 pm

could you explain that while checking echo why u are comparing the length of
command AT with udataavaialble()
//Wait for echo

while(i<10*len)
{
if(UDataAvailable()<len)
{
i++;
_delay_ms(10);
continue;
}
else
{
40/52
12/22/2015
//We got an echo

//Now check it
UReadBuffer(sim300_buffer,len); //Read serial Data
return SIM300_OK;
i am unable to understand this part
By Avinash - May 2, 2013 5:03 pm

@Ujjwal,
Thats because same number of bytes which are written to sim300 are echoed back

but 6 byte response will echo back
and no of bytes written Is of only 3 bytes AT and
By Avinash - May 2, 2013 5:21 pm

Its task is to remove the echo only not the response. Response is checked latter.

CR

that means gsm sim300 woll always echo back the same command as it is sent to it
and we just removing it
means it is just one of function of sim300 to echo back
just like other function as to send response,etc
have i understood correctly
41/52
12/22/2015
if yes thanks in advance
By rajesh - May 12, 2013 10:11 pm

yes u are right,in echo state as we give a single command(like A) there will be
response from modem A.
u can test this by communicating gsm modem by computer

this bufffer is the MCUs UART Buffer?
By sanket - January 9, 2015 4:50 pm

Implementation of SIM300Cmd, in this u have multiplied len by 10 so suppose my
command is 7 bytes (inclusive of null char ) then total the loop may wait for 700ms
right?? so is there any logic beyond tym we have to wait for echo or is it simply 100
tyms the bytes??

This project can also be implemented using a PIC18F4520 microcontroller. We have

Advantage of using SIM300 Module.

Using the USART of AVR MCU (http://extremeelectronics.co.in/avr-tutorials/using-the-usartof-avr-microcontrollers/)

Communication with SIM300 Module using

Initializes the AVR USART Hardware. The parameter ubrrvalue is

Reads a single character from the queue. Returns 0 if no data is

Writes a single byte of data to the Tx Line, used by UWriteString()

Tells you the amount of data available in the FIFO queue.

Writes a complete C style null terminated string to the Tx line.

The above code snippet waits until we have 16 bytes of data

not registered, SIM300 is not currently searching a new operator to register to

Implementation of SIM300GetNetStat() Function

Similarly we have implemented the following functions :int8_t SIM300IsSIMInserted()

Implementation of function SIM300GetProviderName(char *name)
