It draws high current upto 2a when transmitting data so i would advise using a good quality power supply with capacity of 2 5a 3a.
Sim900a gsm module power supply.
In this tutorial our gsm module requires a 12 volts input.
The sim900a gsm module has an operating voltage of 3 4v 4 5v.
The gsm sim900a module interfacing with esp32 will be explained in one of my future articles.
Connect the antenna picture 4 4.
First i have given power supply to gsm module from the arduino i e.
There are a few things that you should take care o.
Sim900a gsm module pin configuration descripton gpio pins.
The gpio pins help to perform the simple and advance i o function.
Gsm sim900a power supply.
The voltage regulator i am using is l7805 which gives a regulated output voltage of 4 9 v.
How to give power supply to my gsm module with the battery.
The sim900a can search the two frequency bands automatically.
Check the power requirements of gsm module gsm modules are manufactured by different companies.
My battery is.
Power up your gsm by connecting it to arduino s 5v and gnd picture 3 3.
My gsm sim900a modem is.
They all have different input power supply specs.
Although it has a power supply pin which can be connected with the arduino s 5 volts.
How should i design the circuit so that i get 3 2v 4 8v with 2a for proper gsm module operation without destroying any components.
Now wait for some time say 1 minute and see the blinking rate of status led or network led d6 refer picture 5 gsm module will take some time to establish connection with mobile network 5.
As i said earlier the gsm sim900a module has no onboard voltage regulator.
