First i have given power supply to gsm module from the arduino i e.
Sim900a gsm module power supply.
The sim900a gsm module has an operating voltage of 3 4v 4 5v.
Now wait for some time say 1 minute and see the blinking rate of status led or network led d6 refer picture 5 gsm module will take some time to establish connection with mobile network 5.
As i said earlier the gsm sim900a module has no onboard voltage regulator.
Check the power requirements of gsm module gsm modules are manufactured by different companies.
Power up your gsm by connecting it to arduino s 5v and gnd picture 3 3.
They all have different input power supply specs.
My gsm sim900a modem is.
Gsm sim900a power supply.
How to give power supply to my gsm module with the battery.
It draws high current upto 2a when transmitting data so i would advise using a good quality power supply with capacity of 2 5a 3a.
You need to double check your gsm modules power requirements.
My battery is.
All pins give the maximum output equal to the power supply which is useable to control most of the devices like sensors and other modules.
Although it has a power supply pin which can be connected with the arduino s 5 volts.
In this tutorial our gsm module requires a 12 volts input.
The voltage regulator i am using is l7805 which gives a regulated output voltage of 4 9 v.
Insert your sim card to gsm module and lock it.
Typical power consumption in sleep mode is 1 5ma.
Although it has a power supply pin which can be connected with the arduino s 5 volts.
The sim900a can search the two frequency bands automatically.
Sim900a gsm module features.
So we feed it using a 12v 1a dc power supply.
How should i design the circuit so that i get 3 2v 4 8v with 2a for proper gsm module operation without destroying any components.
The gsm sim900a module interfacing with nodemcu esp8266 and esp32 will be explained in one of my future articles.
I am interfacing simcom s gsm module sim900 with arduino.
The frequency bands also can be set by at command.
Picture 1 and 2 2.
There are a few things that you should take care o.
In starting days it worked fine.
Connect the antenna picture 4 4.
But now it is working only on the ac to dc adapter 12v that is why i bought 12v rechargeble battery.
