Kickstarter: Cellular made easy (Arduino/Pi/+). A tiny Cellular development board that gives you Wireless Worldwide. That means internet to anything anywhere!
View our successful Kickstarter here!
The CELLv1.0 is an easy-to-use cellular development kit. Add it to your Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or any other project you have to instantly add wireless communications capable of operating anywhere in the world!
Check out the Arduino and Raspberry Pi Shields to see just how easy it is to connect the CELLv1.0 to your Arduino and Raspberry Pi!
If you’re not using a shield, all you need are 4 connections – RX, TX, GND, and Vref so you can use your 3.3V or 5V system. Use the USB cable we supply for power and voilà!
SparqEE helps you every step of the way with the CELLv1.0 to easily get your data from Your Device, through The Cloud, and back out to Your Smartphone or Computer!
Open Forum and Website for help, details, code, everything!
In order to communicate over a cellular network, you’ll also need a SIM card. SIM cards aren’t as painful as they used to be. With the CELLv1.0 you can use any SIM, here are some suggestions:
In the end, we realized that we could minimize the pain for everybody and make cellular as ubiquitous in the development community as Bluetooth and WiFi, eliminating all difficulties! We are providing a free server to communicate with and even open sourcing everything – the schematics, Eagle files, designs, software, breakouts, etc.
The Cellular and Jumper parts snap together with a standard connector. The header pins on the jumper are used in your development and fit in a breadboard or using jumper wires. The Cellular portion can be used alone on your final product too – all you need is the standard connectors (which we’ll give you the specs, Eagle files, and part numbers for).
The Cellular Board is certified and has everything you need to pop it into your projects as a standalone module – a Cellular chip, power supply, and SIM holder
The Jumper Board makes everything a breeze for development – it includes level shifters for whatever voltage levels you’re using (ex. 3.3V, 5V, or other)
