Frequently Asked Questions

What Raspberry Pi models are compatible with this HAT?

This HAT is compatible with Raspberry Pi models that feature the standard 40PIN GPIO extension header, including the Raspberry Pi Zero, Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+, and Raspberry Pi 4. It draws power and communicates via the GPIO and USB for debugging.

How do I control the GSM/GPRS and GNSS functionalities on this HAT?

The HAT is primarily controlled using AT commands, which adhere to 3GPP TS 27.007 and 27.005 standards, along with SIMCOM enhanced AT commands. You can send these commands via the UART interface, easily debugged using the onboard CP2102 USB-to-UART converter.

What specific global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) does this HAT support?

The HAT provides robust GNSS capabilities supporting GPS (L1 C/A code), COMPASS, Glonass, and LBS (Location Based Service) base station positioning. This multi-constellation support ensures reliable omni-positioning for accurate location data in various environments.

Does this HAT require an external power supply or does it draw power from the Raspberry Pi?

The Waveshare GSM/GPRS/GNSS/Bluetooth HAT typically draws its operational power directly from the Raspberry Pi's 40PIN GPIO header. While designed for low power consumption, for intensive GPRS data transfers or strong signal acquisition, a stable 5V supply to the Raspberry Pi is recommended.

Can this HAT be used to send and receive SMS messages and make phone calls?

Yes, the HAT's GSM/GPRS module fully supports SMS functionalities (MT/MO/CB/Text/PDU mode) and voice calls. With a compatible 1.8V/3V SIM card inserted into its onboard slot, your Raspberry Pi can leverage these cellular communication features for various applications.
