Otherwise, those are currently the only cellular modules we have. We are working on getting more modules in, including ones that are 3G compatible.</p>

I was thinking in making a voltage divider from 5v to 4v, but I think it will not draw enough current... I just want the module to receive and send sms. Can anybody help me? Is there any voltage regulator for this or can I just use a 3.3v regulator?</p>

If you are using an <em>external</em> SIM card holder, then you can connect 3.3V or 1.8V to SIMVDD. But if you are using the on board SIM on the ADH8066, then I don't think you need to mess with that pin.</p>

I found a possible error (the resistor from the switch should be connected to ~3.8V according to the schematic, and it's instead connected to ground... although it's partially blocked by a white cable, so that may be an incorrect assumption from my part). Also, are the leds 3.3V? In theory the power from the module is ~3V, but that's not what I'm reading. Thanks! J</p>

Then there is the secondard IO port. I think challenge is not not increase the foot print of such a nice small device.</p>

is there some wiring example of this ? Got one module, but can't get it working properly, just get "Ready" and that's it.<br>

All of the headers could be moved to underneath the device, or arranged in a square, or doubled up and placed right next to the module. The last option would take up 2.34 in^2, cutting the board area in half.</p>
