SIM800L Arduino Pro Mini I am trying to send an SMS using the Sim800L module and it seems to be unable to connect to the network. When I send the AT+COPS=? command it shows me a list of all the available networks along with the carrier of the sim card inserted but the module is unable to connect to the network. AT+CPIN returns an error as well. I read that changing the antenna will help but I don't think this can be the case as the networks are being detected. What could be going wrong?
Make sure that you are giving it enough power, seaching and registering to a network needs a current peak of 2amps, if the model you are using has a built-in regulator plug it to a stable 5v 2amp source of power and try AT+COPS? again, it should work; you can try with the computer power supply it has a 5v 2amp source.
