Setup PiTalk 2G HAT with RPi

• Connect Jumper wire as per the image

To Start working with our PiTalk 2G HAT, set-up your Raspberry Pi or RockPi by flashing their os file and boot it, for this click here.

• After setup your Pi board, attach the PiTalk 4G HAT on it and boot by providing compatible power supply.
• Now, open the command prompt and type the following command to clone the current repository in your Pi-board.

git clone .git https://github.com/sbcshop/Pitalk_2G_HAT_Software

• After, downloading this repository you will see two directory in it. One is of Example code and 2nd one is of Library file.
• Now, open the both Example and Library directory. To open these files make sure you have python installed in your Pi board.
• In examples Directory there are some example codes to use the different functionality of PiTalk HAT like call, send message and gps etc

Setup PiTalk 2G Via USB

• You can command SIM868 also by providing the AT commands via USB com port. For this you have to connect PiTalk 2G HAT to your computer system by using micro usb cable as shon in below image:

• For using our PiTalk 2G HAT directly with the computer system, insert the sim card, attach the 2G antenna and connect it to your system. After that you will get a com port as shom as shon below:

• After getting COM port you can communicate our PiTalk 2G HAT by using any serial communication softwatre such as XCTU for sending AT Commands to operate it.
