Hi, can this board send sensor data to a cloud via the gsm sim using http? if yes, is there a reason i do not see any IoT projects streaming data to a cloud with this board? FYI, the project is in an environment where there will be no Wifi...hence me wanting to use the gsm.

Hi,

Can I ask? Example if I used a external power like power bank having 20,000 with 2A input. How long will it last example if my GSM SIM808 is sending GPS data to web server every 30 secs and SMS request is upon request only.

For the solar system, you need a solar panel, a solar manager module and a battery to power the board, it is better to use a 7.4V Lipo battery to have enough power, you can consider to use the solar panel: https://www.dfrobot.com/pro..., the solar manager module: https://www.dfrobot.com/pro...

Since you said the NET led was flashing like finding the network, but it still shows Not connected in the serial monitor? How about press the BOOT button when it gives the message.

No. The NET led is flashing like finding a network a few seconds then the serial says its not connected. but after a few seconds the NET let will flash like its connected to the network, then the not connected will also stop printing. But no success message and Enter number message on the serial monitor.

I have purchased DFR0355 Leonardo Sim808. I can't compile any of the examples, receiving error message: "no matching function for call to 'DFRobot_SIM808::DFRobot_SIM808(Serial_*)'".

If "Serial" in "DFRobot_SIM808 sim808(&Serial)" is replaced by "Serial1" (which is correct I guess), it compiles but I'm not able to initialize SIM808. The same result if I go for "mySerial" no matter what TX,RX I use (0,1; 7,8; 10,11).

I've checked both IDE 1.6.5 and 1.8.5 - same results.

Any suggestions?

//#define PIN_TX 10
//#define PIN_RX 11
//SoftwareSerial mySerial(PIN_TX,PIN_RX);
//DFRobot_SIM808 sim808(&mySerial);//Connect RX,TX,PWR,

DFRobot_SIM808 sim808(&Serial);

void setup() {
//mySerial.begin(9600);
Serial.begin(9600);
[...]

Hello,

i got my
board but I have some problems with it. So I drive the board with the USB port
and an external power supply and configured it like in the wiki. When i load
the serial2serial sketch the board works fine with AT commands. I can call, receive
calls and also SMS. But when I load the “make a call” sketch it won´t work
anymore. It just say “Not connected” and that over 10 minutes. I tried with
pressing the BOOT button (like in the Wiki). I enabled the debug massages and
figured out that the SIM808 make a restart after finding the Network. So can
you tell me where is the fault?

On Leonardo, MOSI corresponding to D16, SCK corresponding to D15, I think __DC and __CS could still use D9 and D10

What is the lowest power consumption possible? Can all the sim808 features be powered off until a trigger? Planning on using this in a situation where it needs to be on standby 99% of the time using very little consumption and only rarely power up everything else.

Is the Bluetooth limitation removed ?
This board is the only ones with BT antenna onboard, and the BT functionality is important. For example for Serial SPP to an android device, or if it is possible redirect the BT to the Atmega mcu for OTA fw update

Sorry for missing this message, it still need external power supply with the board 3.7V lipo battery or 6.5V lipo battery.

In the low power consumption mode, it could be 100mA@7V with GSM function.
