### Arduino Client interface support
|
||
This library is easy to integrate with lots of sketches which use Ethernet or WiFi.
|
||
**PubSubClient ([MQTT](http://mqtt.org/))**, **[Blynk](http://blynk.cc)**, **HTTP Client** and **File Download** examples are provided.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### TinyGSM is tiny
|
||
The complete WebClient example for Arduino Uno (via Software Serial) takes little resources:
|
||
```
|
||
Sketch uses 15022 bytes (46%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
|
||
Global variables use 574 bytes (28%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1474 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
|
||
```
|
||
Arduino GSM library uses 15868 bytes (49%) of Flash and 1113 bytes (54%) of RAM in a similar scenario.
|
||
TinyGSM also pulls data gently from the modem (whenever possible), so it can operate on very little RAM.
|
||
**Now, you have more space for your experiments.**
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Getting Started
|
||
|
||
1. Using your phone:
|
||
- Disable PIN code on the SIM card
|
||
- Check your balance
|
||
- Check that APN, User, Pass are correct and you have internet
|
||
2. Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted into the module
|
||
3. Ensure that GSM antenna is firmly attached
|
||
4. Check if serial connection is working (Hardware Serial is recommended)
|
||
Send an ```AT``` command using [this sketch](tools/AT_Debug/AT_Debug.ino)
|
||
|
||
If you have any issues:
|
||
|
||
1. Read the whole README (you're looking at it!)
|
||
2. Some boards require [**special configuration**](https://github.com/vshymanskyy/TinyGSM/wiki/Board-configuration).
|
||
3. Try running the Diagnostics sketch
|
||
4. Check for [**highlighted topics here**](https://github.com/vshymanskyy/TinyGSM/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+label%3A%22for+reference%22+)
|
||
5. If you have a question, please post it in our [Gitter chat](https://gitter.im/tinygsm)
|
||
|
||
## How does it work?
|
||
|
||
Many GSM modems, WiFi and radio modules can be controlled by sending AT commands over Serial.
|
||
TinyGSM knows which commands to send, and how to handle AT responses, and wraps that into standard Arduino Client interface.
|
||
|
||
## API Reference
|
||
|
||
For GPRS data streams, this library provides the standard [Arduino Client](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/ClientConstructor) interface.
|
||
For additional functions, please refer to [this example sketch](examples/AllFunctions/AllFunctions.ino)
|
||
|
||
## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
### Diagnostics sketch
|
||
|
||
Use this sketch to diagnose your SIM card and GPRS connection:
|
||
File -> Examples -> TinyGSM -> tools -> [Diagnostics](https://github.com/vshymanskyy/TinyGSM/blob/master/tools/Diagnostics/Diagnostics.ino)
|
||
|
||
### Ensure stable data & power connection
|
||
|
||
Most modules require up to 2A and specific voltage - according to the module documentation.
|
||
So this actually solves stability problems in **many** cases:
|
||
- Provide a good stable power supply. Read about [**powering your module**](https://github.com/vshymanskyy/TinyGSM/wiki/Powering-GSM-module).
|
||
- Keep your wires as short as possible
|
||
- Consider soldering them for a stable connection
|
||
- Do not put your wires next to noisy signal sources (buck converters, antennas, oscillators etc.)
|
||
|
||
### SoftwareSerial problems
|
||
|
||
When using ```SoftwareSerial``` (on Uno, Nano, etc), the speed **115200** may not work.
|
||
Try selecting **57600**, **38400**, or even lower - the one that works best for you.
|
||
In some cases **9600** is unstable, but using **38400** helps, etc.
|
||
Be sure to set correct TX/RX pins in the sketch. Please note that not every Arduino pin can serve as TX or RX pin.
|
||
**Read more about SoftSerial options and configuration [here](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_AltSoftSerial.html) and [here](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/SoftwareSerial).**
|
||
|
||
### ESP32 Notes
|
||
|
||
#### HardwareSerial
|
||
|
||
When using ESP32 `HardwareSerial`, you may need to specify additional parameters to the `.begin()` call.
|
||
Please [refer to this comment](https://github.com/vshymanskyy/TinyGSM/issues/91#issuecomment-356024747).
|
||
|
||
#### HttpClient
|
||
If you are using an ESP32, you must will not be able to compile the HttpClient or HttpsClient examples if you are using ESP32 core >1.0.1. Downgrade to version 1.0.1 or use the WebClient example. Please comment on the issue on the ESP32 core, not in this library: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/2755
|
||
|
||
### SAMD21
|
||
|
||
When using SAMD21-based boards, you may need to use a sercom uart port instead of `Serial1`.
|
||
Please [refer to this comment](https://github.com/vshymanskyy/TinyGSM/issues/102#issuecomment-345548941).
|
||
|
||
### Broken initial configuration
|
||
|
||
Sometimes (especially if you played with AT commands), your module configuration may become invalid.
|
||
This may result in problems such as:
|
||
|
||
* Can't connect to the GPRS network
|
||
* Can't connect to the server
|
||
* Sent/received data contains invalid bytes
|
||
* etc.
|
||
|
||
To return module to **Factory Defaults**, use this sketch:
|
||
File -> Examples -> TinyGSM -> tools -> [FactoryReset](https://github.com/vshymanskyy/TinyGSM/blob/master/tools/FactoryReset/FactoryReset.ino)
|
||
|
||
### Goouuu Tech IOT-GA6 vs AI-Thinker A6 confusion
|
||
|
||
It turns out that **Goouuu Tech IOT-GA6** is not the same as **AI-Thinker A6**. Unfortunately IOT-GA6 is not supported out of the box yet. There are some hints that IOT-GA6 firmware may be updated to match A6... See [this topic](https://github.com/vshymanskyy/TinyGSM/issues/164).
