How to control servo motor with handphone through GSM modem?

Hi all,

I am currently doing a mini project of controlling the servo motor using easypic4.

I managed to control the direction the servo turns by using the pushbuttons on the board to make it turn clockwise or counter-clockwise.

However, I would like to control the servo by sending a message using handphone to the GSM modem which is connected to the RS232 com port of the easypic4 and make the servo turns accordingly.

What are the additional codes which I need to control using handphone?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. =)

Wow.........

I could say a lot of additional code...

In this special category on GSM there are many examples... Just search through. I warn you it is not an easy project...

First I wrote a couple of codes to test the AT commands with SEROUT2 and Tx Command between my PC and the PIC16F77A (CPU) on the easypic4 using hyperterminal.

These are the codes:

INCLUDE "modedefs.bas"

'PIC16F877A specific

@ __CONFIG _HS_OSC & _WDT_ON & _LVP_OFF & _CP_OFF

'This is a simple program to drive a servo using easypic4 and pushbuttons.
'PORTB.0 - Set to drive the servo clockwise to the center.
'PORTB.1 - Set to drive the servo clockwise to the end.
'PORTB.3 - Set to drive the servo counter-clockwise to the end.

'Connections:

'PIC-PIN : Servo
'PortC.1 : Control wire
'Vcc(5V) : Power Wire(Red wire)
'Gnd(0V) : Black wire

pause 50

goto Read_input

pause 1000
Serout2 Tx,84,["AT+CMGD=1,4",13]
pause 3000

Return


Next I need to change the above codes to SERIN and Rx and "additional codes" so that my GSM modem can receive an sms from a handphone in order to trigger the servo motor.

This is where my problem comes in. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would strongly suggest to use hardware USART and if possible interrupts like Darrels Instant Interrupts. It will assure you no lost characters.

Secondly, I see that you are not checking if the modem has replied with OK or an error, except once. Not all commands have the same processing time. So it is a good practise to confirm that the device has accepted succesfully the command by monitoring its response.

I've used an open source software called " real term" to test out the serial cable

The following are the codes i used to test:

Code:

---

    Serout2 Tx,84,["Ready:",13]
        pause 500
        Serin2 rx,84,[wait("A="),B0]                               
        Pause 500
    Serout2 PORTC.6,84,["Got: ",B0,13]
        pause 500
        goto init

---

It's working. Now I need to test the GSM modem using SEROUT2 and SERIN2 commands. Anyone knows how?

Any special need to use Serin2/Serout2 instead of Hseri/Hserout?

What are the differences between serin2/serout2 and hserin/hserout?

How can I use either set of commands to capture sms message?

Guess where the answer is?
(could be in post #8, but it's not!)

EDIT: Looks like the post I was referring to (i.e. spam) got deleted (Thx admins).
Let me change that to:
See post #10...

1. Software vs Hardware. Is that clear enough?

2. If you do not know how to use these commands, then sorry, I cannot teach you PicBasic Pro lanquage. You have to do it yourself, and if you face a problem, then come here to show your code and be sure many will help you debug it.

3. The GSM thread has many resources for the matter. Just read...

Ioannis

I can send sms using at commands:

Code:

---

pause 1000
LCDOUT $Fe,01, "Sending Now.."
PAUSE 2000
serout2 Tx,84,["AT+CMGS=",34,"Put hp number here",34,13]
pause 1000
serout2 TX,84,["How are you?",26]
'pause 1000
lcdout $Fe,01, "Message sent"
PAUSE 2000
LCDOUT $Fe,01, "STOP"
stop

---

Now i want to write a program to receive sms. What are the codes needed to be edited/added?
