GPRS/GSM Starter Kit

Description:

In the present era, when communication became increasingly popular and developed, do you want to genuinely understand the working principle of mobile phone? Have you ever thought you are enabled to quickly DIY a mobile phone, unique worldwide, only belonging to you? GPRS / GSM Starter Kit can bring your dream into reality, which is the most convenient and easiest product to learn that technology, launched by ElecFreaks. It is an entirely complete mobile phone component, based on the most popular Arduino development board, with GPRS / GSM module, and then arranged the LCD5110 display, and analog keyboard input module. With these modules, you can expediently and swiftly realize the unique functions of mobile phone, such as calling a phone, sending SMS, MMS, and so on.

GPRS Shield - EFCom is an ultra compact and reliable wireless module. This GPRS Shield is compatible with all boards which have the same form factor (and pinout) as a standard Arduino Board. EFCom is base on SIM900 4 Frequency.

GPRS module. The GPRS Shield is configured and controlled via its UART using simple AT commands. Just plug this shield on the Arduino/ Freaduino board, you could easily use AT command to control EFCom Shield. You can use the 2 jumper block to connect the SIM900 URAT post to any pins within D0-D3(for Hardware/Software serial port). There is a switch on board , you can use it to select the connection of the UART port or Debug port , even be set on on Arduino, but by the switch and jumper block, the SIM900 can be connected to PC via FT233RL.
