we use GPRS shield v1.0 ( 1 pcs ) and v1.2 ( 2 pcs ) and found now that measurements with arduino uno on Ain4 and Ain5 are wrong or 0 depending on modem status.

GPRS Shield doesn’t use I2C port, you can disconnect the connection from SIM900 I2C port to A4/A5
we would like to do that, but dont know how to disconnect?
cut ?what? leg of the modem chip?
pls help us.

Hi , for GPRS Shield v1.2 , you can cut the wire that at the red signal place by a knife.
For GPRS Shiled v1.0 , you can ignore the issue since the A4/A5 doesn’t connected to SIM900 :smiley:
