Pin Configuration


Pin Name  

Pin Description

NET

 Helical Antenna interface

VCC

Power supply(3.4v - 4.4v)

RST

Hard RESET pin, pull this pin low for 100ms to perform a hard reset.

RX

Serial Communication – Data Receiving pin

TX

Serial Communication – Data Transmitting pin

GND

GND connection

SPK-

Differential Speaker Positive Terminal

SPK+

Differential Speaker Negative Terminal

MIC-

Differential microphone Negative pin 

MIC+

Differential microphone Positive pin

DTR

 Pin activates/deactivates sleep mode. Pulling it HIGH will put the module in sleep mode, disabling serial communication. Pulling it LOW will wake the module up

RING

The pin acts as a Ring Indicator. It is basically the ‘interrupt’ out pin from the module. It is by default high and will pulse low for 120ms when a call is received. It can also be configured to pulse when an SMS is received.

How to use SIM800L

GSM-Sim800L can  be tested by using  “AT” commands, 

insert the micro-SIM card as shown below

GSM-SIM800L signal Light indication

1. Initially the signal light will blink continuously every second there is no network connection.

2. After a certain time when it receives the signal the light blinks every 3 seconds means GSM is ready for calls and messages.
3. Otherwise we request data mode, so signal-light will blink every 2 seconds.



every 1-second
GSM-SIM800L without network signal-LED blinks every one second




every 3-second
GSM-SIM800L with network signal-LED blinks every three second



USB-TTL(CP210X) interface with GSM   


1. Install driver software CP210X, communication between GSM and computer

2. Find the comport number on the computer

Ex: my computer->devicemanager->ports->com6)


COMPORT-TechnoElectronics

Check the COMPORT number


3. Connect the GSM module with the computer by using a USB-TTL converter

4. Install the Flash-Magic Tool 

5. Open the Flash-Magic Tool and set the com port, baud rate. 
And enter the “AT” commands

SIM800L testing Using “AT” commands


AT: Ok
ATD: Dail a call
ATH: Hang up the call
AT+CMGF=1 (set the sim800L in text message mode)
AT+CMGR=2(Read the message at second place)
AT+CMGD=1,4 (Delete all messages)
AT+CMGD= N(enter a number  'N'  to delete message number)
Ex: AT+CMGD=2 (Delete the second message in the Simcard)
AT+CMGS=+ZZxxxxxxxxxx(Enter mobile number-message sending to the phone number)
AT+CNMI=2,1,0,0,0 (New SMS Message Indications)
AT+CMGL="ALL"(Read the specified type of all messages)
