I am looking for a gsm gps arduino device.

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

I am looking for a GPRS+GPS arduino device. I have tried one from cooking hacks and have not had much luck with it.

I have the following requirements.

 

1. must be arduino compatable

2. must work with att or verizion

3. needs to have add on antennas.

4. needs to be able to have battery backup

 

It would be nice if......

the gps and cell networked in a building/house

 

Here is a link to what i bought all ready and give you an idea of what im trying to do

    You could try to print also the answer from the shield:

     

    int8_t sendATcommand(char* ATcommand, char* expected_answer, unsigned int timeout){

     

        uint8_t x=0,  answer=0;

        char response[100];

        unsigned long previous;

     

        ...

         ...

    //add just before the return

        

         if (answer == 1){

              Serial.println(response);

         }else{

              Serial.print("error")

         }

     

        return answer;

    }

     

     

    Then you can see also the answer from the shield, just to know what's happening.

    I have used SIM900A for GPRS/GPS usage and it supports AT Commands. You can give a try to that. For simple debugging you can use your PC to connect with the SHIELD and give it AT commands by using any Terminal software like hyperterminal or teraterm.

     

    To connect the SHIELD to PC you need to have RS232/UART port on PC or you can use USB to RS232/UART converter.
