@rafitc99 Can you share your code too!

Hi @rafitc99, May I know why you are using this same function definition with different function name?
void smsSend_1(String content) { detachInterrupt(CountPulses); Serial.println("SMS sending"); mySerial.println("AT"); updateSerial(); mySerial.println("AT+CMGF=1"); // Configuring TEXT mode updateSerial(); mySerial.println("AT+CMGS=\"+ YYxxxxxxxxxx\"");//("AT+CMGS=\"" +number+ "\""); //change ZZ with country code and xxxxxxxxxxx with phone number to sms updateSerial(); mySerial.print(content); //text content updateSerial(); mySerial.write(26); Serial.println("sent!!"); recSmsFlag = false; //Reset Rec SMS flag }void smsSend_2(String content) { //wdt_reset(); detachInterrupt(CountPulses); Serial.println("SMS sending"); mySerial.println("AT"); updateSerial(); mySerial.println("AT+CMGF=1"); // Configuring TEXT mode updateSerial(); mySerial.println("AT+CMGS=\"+ YYxxxxxxxxxx\"");//("AT+CMGS=\"" +number+ "\""); //change ZZ with country code and xxxxxxxxxxx with phone number to sms updateSerial(); mySerial.print(content); //text content updateSerial(); mySerial.write(26); Serial.println("sent!!"); recSmsFlag = false; //Reset Rec SMS flag }void smsSend_3(String content) { detachInterrupt(CountPulses); Serial.println("SMS sending"); mySerial.println("AT"); updateSerial(); mySerial.println("AT+CMGF=1"); // Configuring TEXT mode updateSerial(); mySerial.println("AT+CMGS=\"+ YYxxxxxxxxxx\"");//("AT+CMGS=\"" +number+ "\""); //change ZZ with country code and xxxxxxxxxxx with phone number to sms updateSerial(); mySerial.print(content); //text content updateSerial(); mySerial.write(26); Serial.println("sent!!"); recSmsFlag = false; //Reset Rec SMS flag } -
@salmanfaris
Sorry, leave that part
Actually I was using("AT+CMGS=\"" +number+ "\"");this part and passing number into the funciton. This different functions all are done part of debugging.
just checking Is there any problem in string handling. -
@rafitc99 Ok, are you connecting all the ground as common in the circuit when using the LM2596 buck converter to power up the module/Arduino? and check the resistor that you are using stepdown Tx signal from Arduino to the SIM800L.!
-
@salmanfaris Yes. I'm providing common ground. Resistors also working.
-
@rafitc99 Great, can you try this simple code that only includes the SMS sending part! if it's working fine with and without the computer connection we can look it to the other parts!
#include <SoftwareSerial.h> //Create software serial object to communicate with SIM800L SoftwareSerial mySerial(3, 2); //SIM800L Tx & Rx is connected to Arduino #3 & #2 void setup() { //Begin serial communication with Arduino and Arduino IDE (Serial Monitor) Serial.begin(9600); //Begin serial communication with Arduino and SIM800L mySerial.begin(9600); Serial.println("Initializing..."); delay(1000); } void loop() { mySerial.println("AT"); //Once the handshake test is successful, it will back to OK mySerial.println("AT+CMGF=1"); // Configuring TEXT mode mySerial.println("AT+CMGS=\"+ZZxxxxxxxxxx\"");//change ZZ with country code and xxxxxxxxxxx with phone number to sms mySerial.print("SMS Test "); //text content updateSerial(); mySerial.write(26); delay(7000); } -
@salmanfaris At that time not receiving an actual message. Receiving a blank message.
-
@rafitc99 When powering SIM800L through DC-DC buck alone it's sending a message right?
-
@salmanfaris When connecting with PC. It will work well.

@codelery said in Help needed: Arduino Wireless Notice Board project:
I am using the hardware serial (pin 0 and 1 on Arduino Uno)
As @rafitc99 mentioned, you need to expand the Serila buffer, in the hardware serial also the Arduino board package implements a 64-byte ring buffer for send and receive on the hardware serial messages. So you need to change that to 256 as per your message length.
