Hi all, I've got very little experience in electronics but trying to learn some things. Hoping to get some advice here. Forgive me, but I don't know the correct terminology for power, ground etc..
I was given a GPRS modem and breakout board, and I've connected the RNG output to an LED. The trouble is, this is on when there is nobody calling and off when someone is calling.
So I'm wondering how easy and what components I should be looking at if I wanted to reverse this, so that it is off when nobody is calling and on when someone is.
Basically the setup is power->modem->resistor->led->ground. I'd guess I have to get power to the led and use some component to ensure that when both are powered (PRW and RNG) the led is off and when RNG is not powered, the led is on. I could be way off the mark there though, that was just a guess.
Any advice?
