Call And Message Using Arduino And Gsm Module | GSM Tutorial | Arduino GSM project

Introduction

Hey guys, we are back with another new post. Do you know what a GSM module is? Well in this article we are going to make calls and message using Arduino and the gsm module. If you don’t know how a GSM module work with Arduino then goes through it first. Make the connections properly and then upload the given code to the Arduino. You can also check out more articles on Arduino and IoT published by us.

Description

• In this project we can make a phone call or send an SMS to any one using a GSM module in this arduino gsm project.
• There are two push buttons, you can press the first push button and make a phone call.
• For this you have you provide the mobile number on which you want to make a call.

• You can also view the status of the executing task on the serial monitor screen.
• The LED will glow and then turn off automatically once you press the push button which indicates that the task is under process .
• You can also check the digitalize GSM based forest fire alert system made by us.

Components Required in GSM project

• Arduino UNO
• Sim 900 GSM module
• Two push buttons
• 220 ohm resistors
• Two LEDs
• Jumper wires and a breadboard
• USB cable for uploading the code

Arduino with GSM Module Circuit

Arduino UNO	LED 1	LED 2	220 Ohm Resistor
4 Pin	Anode Terminal
5 Pin		Anode Terminal
GND			Terminal 1
	Cathode Terminal	Cathode Terminal	Terminal 2
Arduino UNO	Button 1	Button 2	220 Ohm Resistor
7 Pin	Terminal 1
8 Pin		Terminal 1
GND	Terminal 2	Terminal 2	Terminal 1
	Terminal 1		Terminal 2
		Terminal 1	Terminal 2

• Connect a 12 volts 2 amp DC supply to the GSM module.
• Join the digital-10 pin of the Arduino with the Tx pin of the GSM module.
• Connect the GND pin of the Arduino with the GND pin of the GSM module.
• Attach the digital-11 pin of the Arduino with the Rx pin of the GSM module.
• Now take two LEDs and join their negative legs with the GND pin of the Arduino via a 220-ohm resistor.
• Connect the positive leg of the one LED with the digital-4 pin of the Arduino and the positive leg of the other LED with the digital-5 pin of the Arduino.
• Then take a push button and connect its one pin with the 5 volts pin of the Arduino. Join the other pin of the push button with the digital-8 pin of the Arduino.
• Do the same for the second push button and connect it with the digital-7 pin of the Arduino.
• Your circuit is complete now.
• Also you can check the GSM based Home Automation.

Code for gsm and Arduino

NOTE: Please upload this code to the Arduino. You have to install <SoftwareSerial.h> library first. If you don’t know how to add a zip library to the Arduino IDE then do check it out here.
