Introduction

This tutorial allows to use your platform as a caller ID. Each LED can be assigned to a number. When this number calls to the module, the corresponding LED lights on.

Ingredients:

    - 1 x GSM/GPRS Mobile Kit:
    • 1x Platform
    • 1x GPRS/GSM QUADBAND MODULE (SIM900)
    • 1x GPRS antenna
    • 3x LEDs
    • 3x 220Ί resistors
    • 1x Breadboard
    • 1x External power supply
    • 1x Programming cable
    • Jumper Wires

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

NOTE: Depending on the platform chosen to develop the project, the ingredients and the schematics shown in this tutorial can vary.

This project can be developed with Arduino or Intel Galileo. It is also compatible with Raspberry Pi using the Raspberry Pi to Arduino shields connection bridge.

For further information about the GPRS/GSM QUADBAND MODULE (SIM900) Shield, consult the main tutorial.

WARNING: In Raspberry Pi, GPIO voltage levels are 3.3 V and are not 5 V tolerant. There is no over-voltage protection on the board. Digital inputs use a 3V3 logic level and are not tolerant of 5V levels, such as you might find on a 5V powered Arduino. Extreme caution when working with GPIO, you may damage your Raspberry Pi, your equipment and potentially yourself and others. Doing so is at your own risk!

Step 1: Connection

Connect the GPRS antenna to the shield and then, connect the shield to Arduino or to Raspberry Pi connection bridge. Connect the LEDs and the resistors (220Ί) in the breadboard as you can see in the next diagram.

Connect two wires, red and black, to the two long rows on the side of the breadboard to provide access to the VCC supply (5V in Arduino and 3.3V in Raspberry Pi) and ground. Then, connect digital pin 9, 10 and 11 to one leg of each resistor. That other leg of the resistor is connected to the cathode (negative leg) of the LED. The other legs of the LEds (anode) connect to VCC supply.

Step 2: The Code
