keeerrrkkkk

im having problem with my sim800L evb and my raspberry pi 4 B idk how to fix it, the led indicator tells that the gsm is receiving a network data but when i run it on minicom AT command i cant type, i am using vnc desktop

oops.se

Have you swapped Tx and Rx ?

oops.se

and what terminal prog are you using? I see minicom. So is the baudrate correct ?

keeerrrkkkk

havent tried swapping it yes 9600 baud

oops.se


keeerrrkkkk

is itthe same as rpi 4 B

oops.se

Yes, the 40 pin header is the same (The first Pi model has a 26 pin, but thats ancient)

keeerrrkkkk

do i need to turn on Bluetooth?

oops.se

No, your using serial over wire !

keeerrrkkkk

ohhhhhh i see, am i gonna use picocom or minicom or they're the same

keeerrrkkkk

im gonna try the wiring once i got home

keeerrrkkkk

this is only the drivers i got L293DNE SN74HC595N

oops.se

I dont know picocom, but minicom works as well as other terminal programs

oops.se

No level shifters there

keeerrrkkkk

oh i see

keeerrrkkkk

i have a project this is the features - sms (for notification) - live feed camera to my public domain website https (its okay if it works locally)(i want the camera to be plug and play when i turn on pi it will turn on the camera but it will not affect other programs) - website notification (I'll be using firebase if ever)

keeerrrkkkk

i will integrate all of them into a product

keeerrrkkkk

i have a bi diretional logic level shifterdo u have any diagram how i wire my gsm modules

keeerrrkkkk

and also i need help for this i have no idea what to do with it live feed camera to my public domain website https (its okay if it works locally)(i want the camera to be plug and play when i turn on pi it will turn on the camera but it will not affect other programs)

oops.se

Data?

keeerrrkkkk

what data? im sorry

keeerrrkkkk

i need help for the wiring diagram, on my bidirectional logic level shifter(the blueone) from rpi gpio to gsm module 5v

oops.se

Sorry but I don't know how you think? Should I invent a diagram without knowing any data?

keeerrrkkkk

oh i am sorry, i just want to know the connection of sim800L evb (5v) to the raspberry pi 4 B since the gpio have (3.3V) only and the pin of sim800L is (5v) so im needing bi directional logic level shifter, i just want to make the sms function to work

oops.se

I know that, but you need to tell me what you bought (Datasheet, URL or picture). If you just say the bluone I can guess what it is.... But then is the chances that I give you the wrong instructions quite high.

keeerrrkkkk

Wiring LV - 3,3 volt (From Raspberry Pi) HV - 5v (From SIM 800) LV1 - Raspberry Pi Tx LV2 - Raspberry Pi Rx HV1 - SIM 800 Rx HV2 - SIM 800 Tx GND - SIM 800 GND GND - Raspberry Pi GND

keeerrrkkkk

i need a 3.3v power supply?

oops.se

No, that you can get from the Pi

keeerrrkkkk

ive tried this and it's not working idk how to connect it

keeerrrkkkk

im using sim800L EVB V2 5V

oops.se

First swap Rx and Tx

keeerrrkkkk

i already did

keeerrrkkkk

no matter what the sim800L evb module does not work on my raspberry pi 4 B, i did voltage reading and the voltage is right
