GSM A6 FULL DEVELOPMENT BOARD WITH LCD & KEYPAD

From the makers of ESP8266













The full DEMO kit of A6 GSM has an onboard CH340 IC for serial to USB functionality .A keyboard , an LCD , relay & buzzer are also provided.

An MCU of STC 8051 family is onboard which is factory preloaded with demo code.

A 6way DIP switch seen near the MCU decides the connection between USB -- MCU -- A6 GSM.

Insert a valid SIM to the back of A6 module & plug it on to the development board.

Set the DIP switch 1,3,5 & 6 to ON position.

       

Connect the USB cable from A6 board to PC.The CH340 driver to be installed in PC & in device manager note the COM port alotted.
Provide a 5v 2Amp adapter to the power socket.

Open the serial monitor like PuTty , provide the COM port number & set the Baud Rate to 115200.

Switch on the power.
The boot process takes 5 to 10 secs & finally you get CREG 1
After this the on board MCU will try to connect to AI THINKER cloud.This is a factory loaded demo program.Exact details are not provided by the company.

Wait till this process ends & then type AT .
The A6 module will respond with OK.
To dial a number use ATD followed by number to be called. A semicolon is not needed at the end as in SIM900.

To send a message
AT+CMFG=1 to set Text mode
AT+CMGS="phone no."
Now you get a > symbol.
Type in the message to be sent & press CTRL+Z  to send the message.

The phone no. can be dialled from the on board keypad & then press the DIAL button on the top.
To delete number or to provide backspace long press the dial key.
To send a preloaded test message press the Send SMS button seen next to Dial.
.
Now set the DIP switch position 2 & 4 to ON.



Use the TERMINAL software as it has SET MACROs facility to append 0D (carriage Return) after the AT commands.

Watch the video at bottom for full demo.
