MKRGSM Library Examples

A list of examples related to the MKRGSM Library, which can be used to make voice calls, send SMS and connect to website with a data enabled SIM card.

The Arduino MKR GSM 1400 is a powerful IoT board that communicates over the mobile network. In this article, you will find a lot of useful examples, such as sending SMS, making voice calls and making http requests. All examples are available in the MKRGSM library, which is available for download through the Arduino IDE library manager.

You can also visit the MKRGSM GitHub repository to learn more about this library.

Hardware & Software Required

  • Arduino MKR GSM 1400
  • Antenna
  • SIM card enable for Data
  • (optional) 6 potentiometers or other analog inputs attached to A0-A5

Circuit

Connect the antenna to the board.
Connect the antenna to the board.

MKR GSM Web Server

This sketch turns the Arduino MKR GSM 1400 into a web server. When the board receives a request from a connected client, it sends back the value of analog inputs 0-5.

Not all network operators allow incoming data requests from outside their network. This means you can create a web server with the GSM shield, but you may not be able to connect to it from the public internet; only from another data enabled device from the same provider on the same network. You should check with your provider to see what specific policies they have in place regarding incoming data connections.

MKR GSM Tools Band Management

This example is part of the tools supplied to manage the Arduino MKR GSM 1400 and shows how to use the GSM Library to manage the GSM band the modem connects to.

Check http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html for general GSM band information. Typical regional configurations are:

  • Europe, Africa, Middle East: E-GSM(900)+DCS(1800)

  • USA, Canada, South America: GSM(850)+PCS(1900)

  • Mexico: PCS(1900)

  • Brazil: GSM(850)+E-GSM(900)+DCS(1800)+PCS(1900)

MKR GSM Tools Gsm Scan Networks

This example prints out the IMEI number of the modem, then checks to see if it's connected to a carrier and prints out its signal strength. It also scans for all nearby networks.

MKR GSM Tools Test GPRS

This sketch tests the GPRS data connection on the Arduino MKR GSM 1400. It tries to connect to arduino.cc.

To use a data connection with the GSM shield, you'll need your provider's Access Point Name (APN), login, and password. To obtain this information, contact the network provider for the most up to date information. This page has some information about various carrier settings, but it may not be current.
