but it does not send me back the url just like your's after sending message
thank you
Can you send me some images of your SIM808 module and output of serial monitor please? (mewanindula@gmail.com). Because There have different type of SIM808 modules friends. Some types doesn't support to DFRobot library
I have yixin SIM808_V6 arduino shield and I followed same process. my bad, still it shows "Sim808 init error". can anyone advice me?
Can you send me your module's image to my email (mewanindula@gmail.com)
thank you Mewan!!!
You are welcome!!!
im using sim900a and ...gps receiver ....so this code will work?
I think No
Please , How send data of Gps with MQTT? Thank you 🙏
Your project is very nice and detailed please i want to replicate this project but am using sim800l module and arduino Uno to do this i can see the SIM808 EVB-V3.2 doesn't have a reset pin and the sim800l module that i will be using has a reset pin how do i use my sim800l module to do this project thank you for your reply in advance
Thank You!!!
You can reset the SIM808 module using arduino Uno. Arduino Boards has rest button, So you can rest using it.
Sorry friend, I have no idea about SIM800l module
hi , am copy the code but i did not Recieved any message on my mobile from sim808
can you please make another tutorial for, send GPS coordinates to mysql database in server and GPS coordinates to sms in same time.i was make this work fine, but cat run above two methods in same time.
My next tutorial is about that you told. But I need another SIM808 module to catch those information that send from vehicle tracking system(via SMS). Then I can insert those information to local host mysql server database.
Thank You!!!
But there have another method to inser data to mysql database in server using GPRS.
But still I don't know how work with GPRS using SIM808. Up to now I can insert data to local host mysql database using SMS
i think it can be done using single module, using thread or something like that. i tried it some time it works some time it's not work. i have a no idea about that.i think u will find the best way thanks.
Yes, Using Single Module(implemented in vehicle tracking system) can insert data to mysql database in server via GPRS. But still I don't know how do it.
Thank You!!!
What is your mail address please?
Thank You!!!
i got "low memory available, stability problem my occur" message...what can I do?
Use Arduino Mega
Hi, i have a problem. I used sim808 shield with dfrobit library but when i get the gps data, it's not verryy accurate. Do you have any solution?
Thank you
Oh btw my shield is working fine now with the arduino mega
Yes, It is less accurate. Because it is our calculation error. I get latitude and longitude with 6 decimal places. But one of my friend told, that 6 decimal places have another calculations. But sorry I can't remember what they are. Please can you search it and let me know. Thank you!!!
Mewan Indula okeyy
Your power adapter for sim808 is 3.5 o 5v?
Battery Is 8V and Power Adapter is 12V
thanks alot bro ☺☺☺
You are welcome!!!

hello sir,
i am facing error in the code when trying to merge another code in ur program code.I am working on accident alert system.I am sending message to the concerned person but i also want to send the coordinates thats why i tried to merge the code in ur vehicle tracking code which is working well.plz can u help me to merge the code. i have send it on your email id...
sir i am waiting for yours reply
Sorry for the late reply friend. When is your project deadline friend? Can you send me small diagram which you want to implement?
I have a question... Is it possible to use websocket in arduino+sim808 GSM/GPRS/GPS shield? anyone has sample open source project that i can read related to this? Thanks
Sorry friend. I haven't
Ok thanks
Thank you, it helped me a lot in my project but one thing how can i get you code? can you give it to me? thx
You are welcome.
github.com/mewanindula/GPS-Tracking-System
how can i get your code plz
I already download the DFRobot_SIM808-master and the SoftwareSerial like you did in the video but none of those are the same code as your's
Because your code has the Longitude and Latitude and the library that you download in the video does not have that, thx for the help and sorry if i'm wasting your time.
Its ok friend. In my github account, I uploded all libraries what I am used
Can i use arduino firebase library to send lag and lat to firebase i don't need to get data with sending sms
Dear friend, I Think you can send data to firebase DB. But I haven't any idea about it friend.
the network LED started blinking and stopping after 8 blinks every time. how to fix it?
Please check your input power. 7-12V and 1-2A needs to operate this module friend
Use a 12v 2a supply.

Dear Mewan, why my gps dont get exact location. My location at ocean.... ☹️☹️☹️
Dear friend, It can be vary about 20-50m from your exact location. If it is more vary than your exact location, I think it is your module's problem.
@@mewanindula5877 its not 20-50m. but 30km omg....

I'm using an Arduino Uno and I did exactly what's in the video but when I test it the module does not reply to the text me. SIM Init Success. Can u help me please ?
Should I wait 1 hour for it to detect the location?
@@CouzaMedya No. You don't need to stay 1 hour. But when you trying it at outside, you can get location quickly. Could you please re setup and check again at outside?
bro,
can a 4g sim work with SIM808
and whats difference between SIM800 and SIM900
When I used 4G SIM, it gives SIM init error, and I can't resolve it. but when I used 3G SIM, it gives, SIM init success.
Sorry. I have no idea about difference between 800 & 900

Hello Friend.
What is the voltage and amperage you are using to power the SIM808?
I used 3300mAh External battery and 12V
An error occurred while uploading the sketch
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
Hello my friend, I'm from Brazil, I'm doing a job for college that uses sim808, I've done everything in your video, but when I send the message, my number does not appear, nor does the latitude and longitude help me please.
i m receiving message at serial moniter but aurdino is not sending message to me ..
It just replied me once wit 0 lat and 0 long
Did you check the credit amount of your Sim card?
@@mewanindula5877 I have same problem. And my credit is well.
Please can you test it with different SIM Card?
Dont work
One day it gave me "Message Index: 1" and didnt give me any message more. How i can fix it?
Hello Sir
Thank you for Sharing such video
but i think you should take into the consideration that according to the code you offered the location coordinates sent by the SIM808 can not be translated correctly by google map
Because its in a different format
Thank you friend,
But I get this link (maps.google.com/maps?q=latitude,longitude) from some published research paper. And it is works for my locations friend. But Some times it doesn't give accurate place. It has some acceptable deviations.
Thank you
the correct way is to put it this way
dtostrf(la, 10, 6, lat);
dtostrf(lo, 10, 6, lon);
dtostrf(ws, 10, 6, wspeed);
Hello Sir Mewan, I am having a problem in finding the correct GPS location. The DFRobot_SIM808 library seems giving incorrect GPS location. Do you have a solution for that? Thanks...

Dear sir, I wonder, how can I put callers phone number into a variable when the call comes up ? Thank you for tutorial
I have a problem in gps tracking

Until device get the gps coordinates, it will run on infinite loop. Can you bring your setup to outside, you can get gps coordinates quickly.
Thank You

Hallo mr. Can you help me?
Why my gps module cant detect real location?
I think It is calculation error, one of my friend (who watch this video) said, we have to convert some patterns to those latitude and longitude values. Actually I can't remember what are the those patterns. Can you search it from internet? Thank you
