MIKROE-1201 Application Field and Working Principle

The MikroE-1201 is an evaluation board designed to evaluate the features and functions of the Quectel EP-1201-G1 cellular module. This module is a Quad-Band GSM/GPRS module. It provides 2G internet communication services, and in terms of hardware it contains a 2G protective RF shield, having three ports of UART, USB, and power. It is suitable for a variety of applications such as home automation, telematics, and M2M control.

Basic Applications

The MikroE-1201 is most suitable for field testing and debugging GSM/GPRS applications. It allows the user to explore and test various commands, receive and evaluate GSM/GPRS status information, and operate various functions over the GSM/GPRS network. The user can also do diagnostic test on the module and analyze the power output parameters in real time.

The MikroE-1201 application is versatile, and it can be used in a variety of applications such as remote monitoring and control, telemetry, mobile data transmission, remote system control, SMS based control, and video/audio streaming applications. The module is also applicable for home automation, asset tracking, fleet management, vending machine control, temperature monitoring, and product tracking applications.

Work Equation

The MikroE-1201 evaluation board is based on Quectel’s EP-1201-G1 cellular module. It is powered by a Li-Ion battery or an external power supply of 5V to 15V of voltage. The board consists of switches, LEDs and 2x20 pin mikroBUS connectors for peripheral devices such as sensors or displays. The board includes an onboard UART-USB bridge as well as an I2C port to connect other devices.

The MikroE-1201 board works in the following way. To power the module, the user will insert the Li-Ion battery or connect the external power supply. Then the user can start working with the module by the means of AT command. The onboard USB-UART bridge has support for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android, and can be used via a terminal program or a custom developed application.

The module works with the GSM/GPRS network to enable communication with other devices connected to the same network. The module transmits and receives data, allowing remote control of the module or other connected devices. The working range of the module is up to 15 meters, and the power output is up to 1W.
