Description

SIM800L supports General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) for connecting to the internet with HTTP. The module has built in TCP/IP stack that can be accessed with AT commands. This can be very handy for persistent data logging on low bandwidth networks. Before we can get further into depths, we'll assure the AT commands to make a HTTP GET request to fetch a simple page and then use the library.

For doing so we'll need to hook up the MCU(in this case I'm considering Arduino UNO) with GPRS Module:

Here below are a few AT commands to establish a GET request: image

Research direction
Research how to send AT commands to the SIM800L module via UART, configure it for GPRS, establish a TCP connection, and perform an HTTP GET request. Verify the wiring and power requirements to ensure stable operation.
