Sir hello.. my sim900a module and arduino uno will work fine only after i plugged, unplugged and re-plugged the 5vdc source adapter. After doing so, the devices will function normally. Its just that it will not automatically do the job on the first powering. I need to turn it off again then on before it gets the signal. Can you recommend something on it sir? Thnk u so much..
Hello, i did the same connection of gsm power supply to the arduino but my gsm module's led is not on and not sending message. What seems to be the problem? My gsm is sim900a mini ver3.8.6 same as the video

I have been looking on the internet at how to use this gsm 900A sim model and most of it uses the buck power to power it up. so, when I watch this video, I am a bit confused about whether I had to use the buck power or just power it up straight from the Arduino. I am sorry for asking this question. I am a complete beginner at this matter
@miliohm

it will be better if you use the 2A min power supply. And this module can take 5V input, not like the SIM800L. So if you have 5V power supply II think you don't need the buck converter

Sir please tell me how to make IVR GSM SYSTEM circuit
it doesn't work on me. I can call the sim card in the gsm module and it also print "RING" in the serial monitor while I'm calling it, but when I'm trying to send a message, I didn't receive anything even the serial monitor says "OK"
When i call on the number inserted in GSM module, the bell rings. If I enter "s", then I cannot get the message sent. What might be the reason?

@miliohm

if you use 5V power supply, simply connect 5V PSU to 5V arduino and GND to GND arduino. For SIM900A you need to decrease the voltage to around 4.2V. You can use stepdown module, or use some diode after output before connect to SIM900A.
