Regarding use for arduino nano

[dkingftorts]

Hi Marco,

Thanks for this code...i am trying to assemble a gps device, with sim900, skg13c(gps) and arduino nano. My question is can i use this on the arduino nano as well ?

If yes, how do i put all this code (steps please) into the nano, and test the device. I'm trying to learn. Kinda feel bad to ask you this question but I really do not know !

If you can link me to certain tutorial videos relevant to your project where I can get to learn all the steps that would be great.

Thanks in advance Marco

Hi dkingftorts,

This project is specifically meant to work with the sim900(GSM/GPRS) and the sim908(GSM/GPRS/GPS). I have successfully used this project with an arduino micro and a sim900 board, presumably it should also work with a nano.

As for you the skg13c, you would need a different library to run that separately.

What kind of sim900 board do you have?

Cheers,

Maze

This is what it looks like:

It is a sim900A break out board with a 12V input and serial out.

as long as you can identify the right pins, that should work.
This library has been tested to work with the Open-Electronics.org GSM/GPRS/GPS Shield and the iTead Studio SIM900 Breakout

To set the correct pins, see the top of gsm.h and gsm.cpp

you'll have to find your equivalent to GSM_RXPIN/GSM_TXPIN & GSM_ON/GSM_RESET to get things to work.

The library doesnt work for me on the nano because it wont compile due to Serial1 references in the library code for sms.

OK how could I access the pins on this:

Because I think I need the foreceon pulse to make it work.
