USER MANUAL
Overview
GSM/GPRS Shield with GPS Receiver PA6E-CAM
This is a
very low cost and simple Arduino GSM and GPRS shield. We use the module SIMCom
SIM900A.
The Shield connects your Arduino to the internet using the
GPRS wireless network. Just plug this module onto your Arduino board, plug in a
SIM card from an operator offering GPRS coverage and follow a few simple
instructions to start controlling your world through the internet. You can also
make/receive voice calls (you will need an external speaker and microphone
circuit) and send/receive SMS messages.
GPS module from GlobalTop: PA6E-CAM, based on MediaTek
MT3333 chipset. Possibility of using both systems improves position accuracy
and shortens cold start time, especially in difficult satellite signal
conditions.
Module is pin-to-pin
and functionally compatible to older PA6E module based on MT3329 chipset. Thus
it is possible simple migration to this module without changing of printed
boards.

MODULE SETUP
For TESTING GSM/GPRS
Step 1 : Insert SIMcard into the SIM slot.
Step 2 : Plug in 12V -2A DC power adapter, power led is lit (place jumper in JP3,to turn ON automatically ).
Step 3 : Press and hold power button (To turn on manually
without jumper)
Step 4 : Connect to PC through TTL TO USB converter (connect
RX(D0) and TX(D1))
Step 5 : open GSM/GPRS utility software ,choose appropriate
COM port and use AT commands listed
in this manual for basic testing GPRS GSM/messaging and voice calling.
FOR TESTING GPS
Step 1 : For GPS to work,
Module should be placed in an open space until GPS locks on to minimum of 4
satellite.
Step 2 : Connect 5V and
GND to the module.
Step 3 : Connect D2(Soft
RX) and D3(soft TX) of the GSM/GPS shield to PC through TTL to USB converter
Step 3 : Open serial
window(Ex : hyper terminal) ,select the appropriate COM port ,baud rate 9600,then
all the serial data from GPS will be displayed in the serial window.

POWER MODES
Power down mode
SIM900A is set power down mode by “AT+CPOWD=0”
There are two methods for the module to enter into low
current consumption status
Minimum Functionality Mode
- Minimum functionality mode reduces the functionality of the module to a minimum and thus minimizes the current consumption to the lowest level.
- If SIM900A has been set to minimum functionality by “AT+CFUN=0”
- If SIM900A has been set to full functionality by “AT+CFUN=1”
- If SIM900A is set “AT+CFUN=4” to disable both the above functionality.
Sleep mode
We can
control SIM900A module to enter or exit the SLEEP mode in customer applications
through DTR signal. When DTR is in high level and there is no on air and
hardware interrupt (such as GPIO interrupt or data on serial port), SIM900A will enter SLEEP mode
automatically. In this mode, SIM900A can still receive paging or SMS from network
but the serial port is not accessible.
Wake up SIM900A from sleep mode
- Enable DTR pin to wake up SIM900A. If DTR pin is pulled down to a low level
- This signal will wake up SIM900A from power saving mode. The serial port will be active after DTR changed to low level for about 50ms.
- Receiving a voice or data call from network to wake up SIM900A.
- Receiving a SMS from network to wake up SIM900A.
