Just bought this GSM module that is suppose to support raspberry pi but i cant seem to find any wire up tutorial.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/253162539156
Can someone give a help?
btw: i'm looking for a way to send http post and get requests from this module using nodejs.
First of all, of course it is usable with the raspberry pi. This module communicates over the serial connection UART (raspberry pi gpio14/15) and i worked with different modules with raspberry pi and arduino.
First you should read the datasheet, containing necessary information for work with:
http://www.vis-plus.ee/pdf/SIM900-DS_Hardware_Design_V1.00.pdf
AT commands:
https://www.espruino.com/datasheets/SIM900_AT.pdf
So from now you have 2 possibilities:
you create a ppp0 interface in ifconfig
sudo apt-get install ppp
i wrote a bash script
https://github.com/bierschi/ppp-daemon/blob/master/ppp_config.sh
the important settings are under:
/etc/ppp/peers/gprs
and
/etc/chatscripts/gprs
you can find a lot of information by searching on your own with google.
You take a serial communication package like pyserial in python or other languages. Then you communicate with AT commands to the serial port:

There are a few python modules in this repo for the sim900 module, so try on your own
