Overview

IM141125008 4.jpg

Gboard Pro 800 is a unique Arduino mainboard with SIM800 GSM / GPRS module, XBee socket, nRF24L01 + module interface, micro SD card interface, ITDB02 parallel LCD module interface, electronic brick interface and ATmega2560 chips, which can achieve wireless control via XBee, nRF24L01 + or GSM / GPRS with functions covering from smart home to remote control of robots to meet various needs of different projects.

Note:

  • 1. There is a USB connector on the board for debugging or firmware uploading to SIM800 module only.
  • 2. The serial interface (bootloader connection) is 3.3v, not the typical 5v as on many Arduino boards - anyone using an alternative to the Foca board must take note not to risk damage.

Attention: You can power the board through either the DC jack or the battery socket but NOT both at the same time. There is no Li-ion battery charger circuit on this board.

Note:

  • Baterry Socket: you can connect a Li-ion battery onto the socket to power the board up instead of DC external power supply, the input voltage is from 3.4V~4.4V.
  • Debug Port: debugging interface for SIM800 that you can upgrade firmware and debug software.

Indicators

1.PWR

Power indicator:Normally ON indicates normal power supply to Gboard Pro 800.

2.Status

Status indicator:Normally ON indicates SIM800 already powered on.

3.NET

Network indicator:OFF indicates SIM800 does not work; ON for 64ms / OFF for 800ms indicates SIM800 did not find the network; ON for 64ms / OFF for 3000ms indicates SIM800 registered on the network; ON for 64ms / OFF for 300ms indicates GPRS communication.

Buttons

1.Reset

ATmega2560 reset button:press the button to reset ATmega2560。

2.Sim_rst

SIM800 reset button:press the button to reset SIM800。

3.Sim_pwr

SIM800 power button: if SIM800 is powered off, it will be powered on by keeping pressing the button (for more than 1s); if SIM800 is powered on, it will be powered off by keeping pressing the button (for more than 1s).
