GSM Module V3 shuts down after network registration
Account cancelled 2013-07-14 23:28:53 2874 Views2 Replies Hello,
I'm having a lot of trouble using the GSM module (V3)..
I've tried different SIMs from different carriers, but the module stops communicating (STAT & NET lights turn off) after it registers to the network..
I've used the default sketch to communicate over serial:
[code]
void setup()
{
//Init the driver pins for GSM function
pinMode(3,OUTPUT);
pinMode(4,OUTPUT);
pinMode(5,OUTPUT);
//Output GSM Timing
digitalWrite(5,HIGH);
delay(1500);
digitalWrite(5,LOW);
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(3,HIGH);//disable GSM TX?RX
digitalWrite(4,HIGH);//disable GPS TX?RX
}
[/code]
and this is the result I get:
[code]
IIII????
Sending AT query..
AT
OK
Successful response for AT query..
+CFUN: 1
+CPIN: READY
AT+CGMM
SIMCOM_SIM908
OK
Model Number : SIMCOM_SIM908
+CREG: 2
AT+CGMI
SIMCOM_Ltd
OK
Manufacturer : SIMCOM_Ltd
+CGREG: 0
+CREG: 1,"10CC","9043"
[/code]
and then the module shuts down, no NET or STAT leds, just PWR, and I can't communicate over console..
all I can do is reset..
any ideas?
