pic gsm project

my project is send message from PIC to handset through GSM modem..
i know we can used hyperterminal and AT command..
But, how ?
What kind of languange can used..C or assembly..
what software and compiler need...
PLz help me...
This is my circuit for interface between GSM modem and PIc

Hyperterminal is a 'Terminal Emulation' program that runs on the PC. If you are using the PIC to send/receive, HYperterminal doesn't apply.

You can use any language.

It's curious that you have seperate schematcis for the send and receive circuits - why not make one schematic?

All GSM handsets/Modems following a set of standards for communicating with them. You send the device commands using the serial interface. Each command starts with the letters "AT", hence they are called 'AT' commands. These are based on the Hayes Modem command set developed in the 1970's for analog modems.

You should get a copy of the software manual for the handset you are using, and see what command it supports.

pic gsm

I have been confused considering the interfacing of microcontroller to mobile phone. thanks GSM Man for clearing some doubt. But my greatest doubt is: when you connect a mobile phone to PIC, where do you put the AT command and how do you code the PIC to understand the signal from the phone. for instance, when a particular sms arive in the mobile phone, how will the PIC detect and decode the message? thanks.

You connect the serial port of the phone to the serial port of the PIC, then you send the 'AT' commands through the serial port.

codewiz said:

You write code to receive a packet from the phone, parse the message out of the packet and decode the message to determine what it is, and then act upon it.

Thanks GSM Man for your swift and expert reply. what i understood in your explanation is that the Tx and Rx of the PIC is connected to that of the mobile phone in a standard serial communication. then the AT commands will be in form of messages transmitted to the mobile phone. And message from the mobile phone is filtered by the PIC to do action according to code. am i right? i don't know how to parse message. i think i need a sample code, book or tutorial for this. i'm completely newbie to this but willing to learn.

That's correct.

When you read an SMS message from the modem it will be a string that contains other data such as the caller's number, date & time. For example, a message with the text "This is a test" may look like this:
Code:
+CMGR: "REC UNREAD","19085551212",,"09/07/17,08:52:57-16"
This is a test
You need to write code to extract the information you want. Parsing data is a common task in software and you should be able to find a lot of references to parsing methods. Just do a diligent search on the internet and I'm sure you'll figure out how to do it.

thanks. things are getting clearer. i'll search and have my hands on simple task. it will really be great to control the devices in my room from outside.

Crystal - you can use any value you want. Selection depends on your power reqirements, resolution required for Timers, Baud Rate Generator, SPI, I2C interface etc. Assuming you aren't running on battery power (and need low current consumption) I would typically opt for the highest frequency the device supports (20MHz).

Capacitor C2 & C6 - these are the loading caps for the crystal oscillator. Their value depends on the crystal you use - typically 15pF to 39pF - you need to consult the crystal manufacturer's specification to determine their value

- All of the caps on the MAX232 should be 1uF. However, the one end of C5 should be connected to Vcc (pin 16) NOT GROUND. Also, make sure you place a cap between Vcc and ground. You may want to look at the datasheet on the Maxim web site for calrification: **broken link removed**

Hi,
I want to send and read SMS using PIC. I hope to use AT commands for this purpose. I found lot of AT commands. But I am confuse with How should I process AT commnds with PIC.
I am going to use MikroC for PIC programming, Is it suitable?
Can any one explain this Using simple example?

Hi amila, I think I can help you. I have done many projects with AT commands & PIC's. reply me through nipuna84@gmail.com

Hi everybody,

I am trying to prepare a common project for checking and controlling some stuff in my village house; Sensor -> Pic -> Mobile Phone and Mobile Phone -> Pic -> Actuator by using SMS.

But already I spent a considerable time and still I could not succeed. In fact I already checked the forum, but unfortunately still could not succeed .

And as a general information;
Mobile phone is T630 sony ericsson, which supports txt mode.
I use 16F877 (20/P), MAX232, 4 MHz Crystal,
I use pic basic pro,

Below I put some info about my latest situation:
(1) I can communicate between pic to hyper terminal and hyper terminal to pic without problem.
I used a USB1.1 to RS232 converter cable, because I don’t have serial port on my notebook.
Schematic is as shown:
**broken link removed**

PBP code is as shown:
Code:
' Initialization
TRISB=%00000000
PORTB=%00000000

'Definitions
DEFINE OSC 4
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 20h
DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h
DEFINE HSER_BAUD 2400
DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 25

BEGIN:
PORTB = 0
HIGH PORTB.7
PAUSE 1000
LOW PORTB.7
HIGH PORTB.6
HSerout ["AT",13,10]            'TEST COMMUNICATION
HSERIN 5000,begin,[WAIT("OK")]
HIGH PORTB.5
PAUSE 500
GOTO begin

'END
End

Hyper Terminal Settings are as below:
Bits per second:2400 / Data Bits:8 / Parity : None / Stop Bits:1 / Flow Control :None

Both simulation and real test are succeeded;
(2) I can communicate between pc to mobile and mobile to pc without problem. Below you can see some of commands and answers.
Again I used a USB1.1 to RS232 converter cable.

AT
OK
AT+CMGF=?
+CMGF: (0,1)

OK
AT+CMGF=1
OK
AT+CMGS="0XXXXXXXXXX",129 ‘ ”0XXXXXXXXXX” – TEL NO ‘
> "SELAM DENEME MESAJIDIR"
+CMGS: 0

OK

(3) Test Communication between pic and mobile phone,

The same
- pic basic pro program same as above,
- 16f877, 4Mhz, 2400 8-N-1 baud rates.
- the same connections as:
RS232 pins 1-4-6 interconnected, pins 7 and 8 interconnected, pin 5 earth,
RS232 pin2(RX) to leg7(T2OUT) of max232
RS232 pin3(TX) to leg8(R2IN) of max232
PIC RC6/TX to leg10(T2IN) of max232
PIC RC7/RX to leg9(R2OUT) of max232

But this time I can not see the 3rd led, wait 5 seconds and return back to loop. 
This is where I stopped, My biggest concerns are :
- baud rate,
- crystal 4Mhz may be not enough,

May I have you kind suggestions? Thanks in advance for your support :D
 

Hi,
Although PC is USB host, your PIC doesn't act as the USB host. because both PIC and Phone are USB clients as I know. check furthue about this matter.
If you found the real solution pls inform to me. Because I am also doing same project
Regards,
Amila
 

hmmmm nice point, i will consider about this for sure :) thanks.

Forsure i can share if i can succeed, i believe in gain & gain :)

Regards,
 

Hi coldy,
Try to change baud to 9600 or 19200

Best regards
Linoko
 

Hmmm ok i will try,

But frankly speaking i believe there should be another reason,
even maybe tooooo simple :) hehe

thanks anyway,

Added after 4 hours 33 minutes:

Thanks to your kind suggestions all,

In fact, Ajay Bhargav from 8051projects.net forum, I really appreciate his latest comment .

The solution is; making some additional connections at GSM serial port, as below;
**broken link removed**


Before I only connected, RX,TX and GRND pins of the GSM serial port.

And below you can see the general connection latest I made:
**broken link removed**


And a program to send sms and or call a phone number is as follows:
Code:
'Definitions
DEFINE OSC 4			'for 4 Mhz
'DEFINE OSC 8			'for 8 Mhz

DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 20h	'I wonder shall I define as DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h???

DEFINE HSER_BAUD 2400	'for 2400 Baud rate
'DEFINE HSER_BAUD 4800	'for 4800 Baud rate
'DEFINE HSER_BAUD 9600	'for 9600 Baud rate

DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 25		'for 4Mhz/2400 & 8Mhz/4800 with an error %0.16

Thanks again for your attention and time, I will continue with :
- Improving the program to a real case scenario,
- Think more about the real case scenario, because at first stage I would like to use this as an alarm system for my garden house. I will need some sensors for unexpected visitors or animals.

Do you have any idea, what kind of sensors I can use to detect unexpected visitors?

Hi, i am using a SE K500i handphone as a modem. Now the problem that i'm facing is my pic couldn't receive anything from the handphone.

I have tried to connect the handphone to computer and tested using the hyperterminal, and it is succeeded. i can even use the pic to ask the handphone to make a call. So i think the pic can transmit the data to the handphone and the handphone too understand what the pic asking him to do.

Then I tried to make the pic to send "at" to the handphone, and then sniff the data back from the phone by using the hyperterminal. And it happended as what I predicted, the hyperterminal received "OK" from the phone. But when I connect the phone back to the pic, it doesn't work at all.

Can anyone help me to figure out my problem please?
 

I have a problem about my project about gsm modem and my PIC16f877... im a newbie in at commands so im really having a difficult time figuring out some things and hopefully you can help me about this. my project is a about a security system that uses a ultrasonic motion detector that when it has a detection the device sends a signal to the PIC877 to trigger or activate the gsm modem to send text or make a call to phone number....my problem is im not familiar about at commands and where will i code the at commands, what compiler will i use and what software...my model of my gsm modem is SIM340DZ....


I hope you can help me...Im really desperate...thanks in advance
