hiya!
i’ve received gprs shiled v1.2 and have problem with it.
seems like ‘serial port error’ or something.
- (Just strange). After power on, i see:
ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
and nothing else. no RDY, +CFUN: 1, +CPIN: READY or something.
- Sim900 answer on AT commands, but:
2.1. On default speed (19200, AT+IPR=0) it sometimes return strange answers, looking like serial port error.
Instead of “OK” it return “ZOK” or “SOK” or “SK” for example.
Instead of long answer (like reply to AT+CMUX=?) it return garbage in the middle of the reply string (garbage usually goes in 1 or 2 chars in the string, all other chars is fine)
2.2. When i try to fix speed (AT+IPR=115200) i did not receive any good answer from module, only garbage.
2.3. After back to default speed (AT+IPR=0) now i have each 4 chars per 7 chars lost. For example, i send
AT+CMUX=?
and got reply
AT+
ERROR
AT+CMUXCMUX
reply:
AT+CMUX
ERROR
So, shield lost each 4 bytes (sometimes 5 bytes).
Right now config is default (AT+IPR=0), arduino sketch from seeed wiki, speed default (19200), shield is untouched (in hardware part).
What should i do? Defect hardware? Send back?
