Wiring to Arduino

Wire up

After soldering headers to the FONA module, plug it into a breadboard. We'll use an UNO, other Arduinos may be

different

Vio connects to 5V (or, with a 3V logic Arduino, 3V)

GND connects to GND

Key connects to GND (always on)

RX connects to digital 2

TX connects to digital 3 (9 on Leo/Micro, 10 on Mega)

RST connects to digital 4

We'll be using software serial to talk to the module. The Mega ('2560 based) can't use Digital 3 for FONA TX, so use

digital 10 instead. The Leonardo and Micro ('32u4 based) can't use digital 3 for FONA TX, so use digital 9 instead. See

this page (https://adafru.it/efC) for other pins you can use for FONA TX (SoftwareSerial Receive) on the Mega,

Leonardo, and Micro.

At this time we don't have support for Hardware Serial to talk to the FONA
