How to Interface GSM Module to Arduino-Send and Receive SMS Last Updated on December 23, 2016 by jojo in Arduino with 59 Comments

Download Free Download Go to unzipper.com In this article, we are going to see how to interface GSM Module to Arduino. There are di뎕�erent kinds of GSM modules available in market. We are using the most popular module based on Simcom SIM900 and Arduino Uno for this tutorial. Interfacing a GSM module to Arduino is pretty simple. You only need to make 3 connections between the gsm module and arduino. So lets get to business!

Own these @ RM1

with the MaxisONE plan for RM98/month with unlimited calls & SMS + 20GB.

A GSM Module is basically a GSM Modem (like SIM 900) connected to a PCB with di뎕�erent types of output taken from the board – say TTL Output (for Arduino, 8051 and other microcontrollers) and RS232 Output to interface directly with a PC (personal computer). The board will also have pins or provisions to attach mic and speaker, to take out +5V or other values of power and ground connections. These type of provisions vary with di뎕�erent modules. Lots of varieties of GSM modem and GSM Modules are available in the market to choose from. For our project of connecting a gsm modem or module to arduino and hence send and receive sms using arduino – its always good to choose an arduino compatible GSM Module – that is a GSM module with TTL Output provisions.

GSM Module – Buyers Guide – are you looking to buy a GSM module? There are a handful of product variants for GSM module – like SIM900, SIM300, SIM800 etc. We have created this buyers guide to help you select the right GSM module for your project needs. Notes on GSM Module 1. We use SIM900 GSM Module – This means the module supports communication in 900MHz band. We are from India and most of the mobile network providers in this country operate in the 900Mhz band. If you are from another country, you have to check the mobile network band in your area. A majority of United States mobile networks operate in 850Mhz band (the band is either 850Mhz or 1900Mhz). Canada operates primarily on 1900 Mhz band. Please read this wiki entry on GSM Frequency Bands around the World. 2. Check the power requirements of GSM module – GSM modules are manufactured by di뎕�erent companies. They all have di뎕�erent input power supply specs. You need to double check your GSM modules power requirements. In this tutorial, our gsm module requires a 12 volts input. So we feed it using a 12V,1A DC power supply. I have seen gsm modules which require 15 volts and some other types which needs only 5 volts input. They di뎕�er with manufacturers. If you are having a 5V module, you can power it directly from Arduino’s 5V out. Note:- GSM Modules are manufactured by connecting a particular GSM modem to a PCB and then giving provisions for RS232 outputs, TTL outputs, Mic and Speaker interfacing provisions

2. Connect the adapter to GSM module and turn it ON! 3. Now wait for some time (say 1 minute) and see the blinking rate of ‘status LED’ or ‘network LED’ (GSM module will take some time to establish connection with mobile network) 4. Once the connection is established successfully, the status/network LED will blink continuously every 3 seconds. You may try making a call to the mobile number of the sim card inside GSM module. If you hear a ring back, the gsm module has successfully established network connection. Okay! Now let’s see how to connect a gsm module to Arduino!

Connecting GSM Module to Arduino There are two ways of connecting GSM module to arduino. In any case, the communication between Arduino and GSM module is serial. So we are supposed to use serial pins of Arduino (Rx and Tx). So if you are going with this method, you may connect the Tx pin of GSM module to Rx pin of Arduino and Rx pin of GSM module to Tx pin of Arduino. You read it right ? GSM Tx –> Arduino Rx and GSM Rx –> Arduino Tx. Now connect the ground pin of arduino to ground pin of gsm module! So that’s all! You made 3 connections and the wiring is over! Now you can load di뎕�erent programs to communicate with gsm module and make it work. Note:- The problem with this connection is that, while programming Arduino uses serial ports to load program from the Arduino IDE. If these pins are used in wiring, the program will not be loaded successfully to Arduino. So you have to disconnect wiring in Rx and Tx each time you burn the program to arduino. Once the program is loaded successfully, you can reconnect these pins and have the system working! To avoid this di�culty, I am using an alternate method in which two digital pins of arduino are used for serial communication. We need to select two PWM enabled pins of arduino for this method. So I choose pins 9 and 10 (which are PWM enabled pins). This method is made

Now lets get to the actual program inside loop(). To make things simpler, I have developed a user input based program. The program seeks user input via serial monitor of Arduino. If the input is ‘s’ the program will invoke function to send an sms from GSM module. If the user input is ‘r’, the program will invoke the function to receive a live SMS from GSM module and display it on serial monitor of Arduino. The whole program is as simple as that! Serial.available() – checks for any data coming through serial port of arduino. The function returns the number of bytes available to read from serial bu뎕�er. If there is no data available, it returns a -1 (value less than zero). Serial.read() – Reads all the data available on serial bu뎕�er (or incoming serial data if put

Lets get the functions SendMessage() and RecieveMessage()

ayrus13 on LM35 and Arduino –

These are the functions in which we actually send commands to GSM module from Arduino.

Temperature Measurement and Display on LCD

These commands to communicate with GSM module are called AT Commands. There are di뎕�erent commands to perform di뎕�erent tasks using the GSM module. You can read complete AT Commands Library to understand all that is possible with GSM module. SendMessage() – is the function we created in our arduino sketch to send an SMS. To send an SMS, we should set our GSM module to Text mode 麙�rst. This is achieved by sending an AT Command “AT+CMGF=1” We send this command by writing this to SoftwareSerial port. To achieve this we use the mySerial.println() function. mySerial.println writes data to software serial port (the Tx pin of our Software Serial – that is pin 10) and this will be captured by GSM module (through its Rx pin). After setting the GSM module to Text mode, we should the the mobile number to which we shall send the SMS. This is achieved with AT command “AT+CMGS=\”+91xxxxxxxxxx\”\r” – where you may replace all x with the mobile number. In next step, we should send the actual content of SMS. The end of SMS content is identi麙�ed with CTRL+Z symbol. The ASCII value of this CTRL+Z is 26. So we send a char(26) to GSM module using the line mySerial.println((char)26); Each and every AT command may be followed by 1 second delay. We must give some time for GSM module to respond properly. Once these commands are send to GSM module, you shall receive an SMS in the set mobile number. RecieveMessage() – is the function to receive an SMS (a live SMS). The AT command to receive a live SMS is “AT+CNMI=2,2,0,0,0” – we just need to send this command to GSM module and apply a 1 second delay. Once you send this command, try sending an SMS to the SIM card number put inside GSM module. You will see the SMS you had sent displayed on your Arduino serial monitor.

@albert – It is very simple. I assume you want to turn an LED at pin 13 ‘ON’ after receiving an sms. First assign a variable name to pin 13 with command – const int LED = 13; In the next step con麙�gure pin as OUTPUT. Inside void setup() – write command – PinMode(LED,OUTPUT). Now write the following command inside RecieveMessage() method after delay(1000); – command – digitalWrite(LED,HIGH); delay(1000); For more details – refer – http://www.circuitstoday.com/blink-led-with-arduino Reply

siva March 18, 2016 at 7:54 am My gsm module responds to 麙�rst received message but not for the second one. what exactly is the problem ? Reply


Post author

@siva – the program we have written is an example for interfacing GSM Module to Arduino. The program is written in such a way that it scans any input from serial monitor of arduino continuously. Once you press ‘r’ on serial monitor, the program will call method to receive message from GSM module. This message is then written to serial monitor of arduino for display. Once that process is over, program again scans for a command (‘s’ or ‘r’) from serial monitor. So if you want to receive second message from gsm module, press ‘r’ again on serial monitor. If you to receive 3rd message, press ‘r’ again (after second message is displayed on serial monitor) Note:- You need to alter this program to receive messages continuously. Reply

I have seen your GSM Module image here – http://i.stack.imgur.com/AxKag.jpg Here are my thoughts! 1. You should connect it to TTL pins Rx, Tx and Ground. GSM Rx to Arduino Tx and GSM Tx to Arduino Rx. GSM Gnd to Arduino Gnd. 2. Dont worry about other jumper pins. Just make the connection. 3. After inserting SIM Card, Press and Hold Power button. Notice the Network Status LED marked as NET_STA on your GSM board. This LED should blink in 3 seconds delay continuously. 4. Make a call to the sim card number inside GSM module. If you hear ringing sound on your phone,the interfacing of GSM module to Arduino is perfect. Reply

Note these points. Not all pins on the Mega and Mega 2560 support change interrupts, so only the following can be used for RX: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 50, 51, 52, 53, A8 (62), A9 (63), A10 (64), A11 (65), A12 (66), A13 (67), A14 (68), A15 (69). Refer – https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference.SoftwareSerial 1.Make sure pins are con麙�gured in software correctly. 2. Try changing the delay given in program (inside SendMessage() method) 3. Make sure your country code is given correctly in mobile number. +91 – is country code of India. Change it to your country.

@chandra mouli – Check if your GSM module has TTL output provision. Most of the GSM modules available in market has TTL output provisions. If the module has only RS232 output provision, you need to use an RS232 to TTL converter to interface that particular module with Arduino. Reply

Karthikeyan March 12, 2016 at 9:29 pm hi iam trying your program but it not working the message not send automatically….. what can I do now Reply

@Karthikeyan – We have tested this code many times repeatedly and it was working 100% all the time. Your issue may not be with the code. Double check hardware connections! Also check if you have input the mobile number correctly! Reply

Ali March 9, 2016 at 7:23 pm Good day sir, Please can you explain how can we send the input reading through GSM modem. For example i want ardinuo to take input reading and then send it through sms. How can we implement this please?

Interface GSM Module to Arduino Send and Receive SMS Reply


Post author

@Ali – Its very simple. Save the input to a variable or array. Now write the variable values one by one serially to GSM module using Serial.println() command. In our example we are using Software Serial method, so we use mySerial.println() method. If input variable is val_input, then write the following to GSM module – mySerial.println(val_input); Reply

Abdul malik March 6, 2016 at 1:59 am sir we have to perform operation based on sms coming to that no eg: if on is come then blow a light otherwise o뎕� the light plzzz help me out for this Reply

@Abdul Malik – Its actually simple. You 麙�rst learn AT Commands to receive an SMS. Once you receive the SMS, save its content to a variable or array. Scan the array to check for required number/digit/character. Reply

wooja March 1, 2016 at 4:51 pm good day sir! i tried to display the text that the GSM shield sends out on the serial monitor. the output was this +CMT: “+639XXXXXXXX”,””,”16/03/02,8:31:09:+32″ hello world what does +32 mean? and where is it from? Reply


Post author

@wooja – I don’t have a good idea of the +32. It could be some number of characters sent or something like that. Refer AT Commands Datasheet. Reply

takudzwa muswaka February 16, 2016 at 2:40 am can you please help me with a simple example of how the aduino can respond to any remote number from a mobile phone using the sim 900 module without specifying any number Reply

I did not understand your question. Please explain it again. Reply

takudzwa muswaka February 16, 2016 at 4:41 am am trying to make a system that responds to any user who sends an sms command to the sim900 module using the exact step that you had provided ,but using mySerial.println(“AT+CMGS=\”+91xxxxxxxxxx\”\r”); will only allow the system to send a response to one number , how can i implement a system that responds to multiple phone numbers wich send a command to the sim900 or a function that Retrieves the phone number an from an incoming SMS message and stores it in a named array , just like the function “remoteNumber()” wich is present in the aduino “GSM.h” library .

Interface GSM Module to Arduino Send and Receive SMS I think your idea can be implemented with help of arduino GSM library. I am in the middle of another project, so can’t work on your idea now. Will de麙�nitely check this later. Reply

takudzwa muswaka February 16, 2016 at 11:52 pm ok thanks

aiman ramlan November 12, 2015 at 2:14 am hello sir, im trying to use GSM sim900A in malaysia with using the exact step that you had provide. but the GSM still does not sending any text or receive text. but when im trying to establish the network connection of GSM, i had heard the ringing. so what is the problem ? can you help sir ? its important to me. thank you Reply

@aiman – It can be an error with your program. Double check the program. Reply

Aman July 11, 2015 at 5:21 pm We are using ” \” in “AT+CMGS=\”+91xxxxxxxxxx\”\r” to di뎕�erentiate mobile no & AT command Stringset. I want to know how arduino reads this code? Reply

Sai Abhinay June 3, 2015 at 5:13 am Could you please specify the syntax for call commands. I tried di뎕�erent combinations but I am unable to 麙�gure it out and Thank you for this SMS information, it worked perfect Reply

NURU MUHAMMAD HASSAN June 3, 2015 at 1:47 am please i need the pdf format of this project. i will be very glad if you can send it through my e-mail address above. thanks Reply

Victor May 9, 2015 at 3:03 am Yea thanks for this. I found out that output of the gsm module is static, i mean is only what we have input is what is doing. Is there no way it could check for out box messages and be able to re-send any in it to the controller. Maybe some other dynamic functions too. Reply

@Victor Its possible to read inbox and many other functions using GSM module. Learn AT Commands thoroughly for that. Reply

sajal nagwanshi May 2, 2015 at 4:06 am Hi, Thank you very much. The information about software serial was very helpful. Reply
