SIM800L V2 tutorial with arduino (Send SMS, Receive SMS, Make a call)

What about using two turbine flow sensor in leakage detection of water

[@nellynfedejuan1212]

Great!❤❤ By the way, I wanna ask if it can send message without a Load specifically here in the Philippines. The case is I wanted to inform the receiver using sensor. If the device detects a sense, it will send a message to a mobile phone. I only want arduino to send message and thats it. I am a student and I wanted to include this onto my research device. I hope someone will notice me po. Thank You 🤗🤗

Hello, thank you for your videos, very useful. I ask you, you propose the 800L connected to the 5v of the arduino but my question is, when you send or receive an SMS or calls, the consumption of the 800l can be up to 2A I understand and this cannot damage the arduino or both boards? Also, what is the difference between the SIM800 L and the SIM900? Greetings

[@miztia2755]

Hola muy buen video, tengo una consulta, por lo que vi en varios videos, en el codigo tenemos que poner el numero de telefono al que queremos recibir el SMS. Pero por ejemplo yo necesito mandarle un mensaje al SIM800L preguntandole si esta la luz prendida y que me responda SI/NO, pero yo quiero que lo puedan usar todos los integrantes o cualquier invitado, (no se si me explico) ¿no hay forma, por ejemplo de mandarle un mensaje al SIM800L, que guarde el numero de telefono desde el que recibio la pregunta y responda a ese numero ? luego si viene otra persona con otro numero de telefono distinto, manda un mensaje al SIM800L que guarde el numero y le responda a ese mismo y asi?? (no se si logre explicarme) Saludos!

[@dariodraiman6339]

Hi, great video! Does the module turns on automatically when you apply power? In the datasheet is states that the module has a power key pin that must be held low for at least 1 second for power on/off. Thanks!

[@jeetenzhurlollz8387]

yes, but the power supply is critical.it uses 5v with peak of 2 amps at very high frequency transients. Put a more than 470uF capacitor with power supply. LM2596 with capacitors work well. If power supply is inadequate, it will keep resetting itself and never managing to register to network.

[@stamstam1570]

Thanks for details, your solution solved my problem

Single 18650 should be boosted since the voltage around 3.7V. use boost converter like XL6009. LM2596 used to stepdown the voltage. Did you use some 18650 in series? Or you can use the red SIM800L (v1). It can be powered with voltage around 4V.
