Introduction:
In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to connect an Arduino Uno to a 4G LTE module to send SMS messages and make calls. We’ll be using a Jio SIM card, but you can use a SIM card of any generation (2G, 3G, or 4G). This tutorial will guide you through the step-by-step process of uploading code and controlling messages and calls.
Hardware Required:
- Arduino Uno board
- 4G LTE module
- Any SIM card(2G,3G,4G)
- USB cable
- Smartphone (optional, for receiving messages and calls)
- Jumper Wire
Software Required:
- Arduino IDE
Step 1: Hardware Connection:
- Connect the Arduino Uno to the computer via USB cable.
- Connect the 4G LTE module to the Arduino Uno according to the pinout.
- Insert the Jio SIM card into the 4G LTE module.
Step 2: Uploading Code in Arduino IDE:
- Open the Arduino IDE.
- Open the example code provided or paste the code given below.
- Select the appropriate board and port, and upload the code to the Arduino Uno.
Step 3: Sending Messages:
- Open the Serial Monitor.
- Type “S” and press Enter.
- A message will be received on the smartphone.
Step 4: Making Calls:
- Open the Serial Monitor.
- Type “C” and press Enter.
- A call will be received on the smartphone.
This way, you can use the 4G LTE module with Arduino Uno to send messages and make calls.
