    Question Pic to GSM Phone connection (HSerin problems)

    Hi!

    I am trying a project of remote control (SMS) using 16f628 connected to an Ericsson T10 mobile phone.
    My problem is with the serial communication with the phone
    I have tried everyting from software Serou/Serin to HSERIN/HDEROUT using build-in f628 USART.
    Although Sending AT commands is ok receiving the reply from the phone is very difficult.
    I think the phone response is too uick for picbasic to receive the stirng. What is your opinion. Is it possible from PBP Pro to cath-up the receiving data from the mobile?
    (Using 9600,8,n,1) with no rs232-drivers - with inverted/noninverted modes -the same problem

    Any ideas?

    P.S: I have developed a PDU decoded with the pic. If it works properly I may public the code

    Thank you all Pic-maniacs! )

    Smile SMS and Pics

    Hi I have had the same problem, mobiles are sometimes to fast

    I use the GSM engine TC 35 from siemens they can run Normaly text but run to fast for a pic too.

    so put in a larger crystal (8mhz)

    set up your programmer to HS

    if your settings is 9600 chose 2400 baud because at 8 MHZ it goes to faster
    I use serin and a timeout seqenze so i can find the end of the message

    If your modem can deal with slower speed auto matically
    try to send some AT AT at a lower speed 1200 Baud

    You won't fell the differnce since SMS messages are so short.


    Best regards Mikkel Holm

    I may help you but please give some more details, as what do you expect to receive from the phone and what do you receive?

    Most of the times is a matter of sync problem.

    I have tried it using a NOKIA Phone and it works fine.

    The Phone is connected to the HW-USART via MAX232
    Baudrate: 9600 8N1

    You need a clock spped of minimum 8MHz
    (I'm using a 12MHz resonator)

    There are certainly better ways to do the job, this was just a quick test and it works

    Default Tex node support on Nokias

    NavMicroSystems thanks!

    I think I will go for Nokia phone as it would be better to handle!
    Anyway does al Nokia supports Text mode or only PDU format?

    P.S I have a PDU decode routine available -as soon as I will try it out I will make the code available.

    @ bitmaniac

    As far as I know do all NOKIA phones with embedded Modem support the text mode.
    I have successfully tested it on 62xx and 63xx series.

    The TEXT mode is easier to handle than PDU mode and it certainly saves some code space.

    anyway: I am interested in your PDU encoding / decoding routines.

    Post Pic to GSM Phone connection (HSerin problems)

    Hi people,
    I had implemented an interface with Ericsson and a 16F628 that worked fine.
    I used a T65 model and pin 4 on the RS232 connector has to be driven high for the phone to accept and issue responces. For other models this can be different. Appart from pin 4, I used 3 more pins, Ground, TX and RX.
    I used PDU mode due to the Ericsson and the fact that, any phone can be interfaced with virtually only hardware modifications.
    I sample of my code is shown below:

    @ DEVICE pic16F628, HS_OSC
    ' ---- High Speed Oscilator

    @ DEVICE pic16F628, LVP_OFF
    ' ---- Low-Voltage Programming=OFF
    @ DEVICE pic16F628, MCLR_OFF
    ' ---- Reset Pin=Internal

    I hope that I helped a bit

    P.S. If you developed a PDU decoding code I woould appriciate if you share it.

    hi,

    is there any AT COMMAND to check the time of a nokia 6210.

    Hi Brenda,

    unfortunately there is no such AT-command.

    If your intention is to set an RTC on your PIC-board connected to the Phone you could do the following:

    as soon as you have received a new SMS-message write your RTC-time to some variables.

    now you have got plenty of time to decode the SMS-message.
    The message header contains the time it was delivered by the server.
    comparing this to your RTCs time gives you the offset you need to correct the RTC.

    This is certainly not perfect in terms of accuracy, but far better (+/- 1 min) than the long term accuracy of an RTC with a non-compensated clock.

    rgds.

    Cool

    Hi brenda,
    There is no AT command for this. You have to use PDU mode in order to send FLASH SMS. First you must undertand how PDU works, then you should know that this function is not supported by all phones.

    Try http://www.traud.de/gsm/ and http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/
    for more information on Flash messaging and PDU mode.

    hi kypros,

    thanks for the info. I think I have to study Pdu format as what you and everybody recommend. Nice site!!! thanks again!

    Hi kyprus and everybody,

    Well, Its really hard to understand PDU format but I manage to understand it. Now I can send a Flash SMS. Cheers!!!! I found a nice PDU converter by Peter Sandstrom.

    http://www.spaceorbit.net/peter/proj...rk1/index.html

    Another question:
    How about sending Picture message?

    Default SMS

    I have tried sending a SMS on a nokia 6210 with a 16f84A ( only micro I had at the time) the osc was only at 4MHz. As I was only sending AT commands I thought it would be ok. The sequence seems to hang before the SMS is completed. Has anyone tried this with a 16f84a at 4MHz?

    Hi Darrenmac,
    how do you determine tha the sequence hangs?
    I sugest that you send a simple AT command and capture the answer as a first step.
    In my code example as published is:
    HSerout ["at",cr] ' <----- Check for Phone presence

    HSerin 400,nophone,[wait ("OK")]
    Pause 500

    Just convert it to SEROUT and SERIN commands since 16F84 does not have a hardware USART.
    In the above example, a sent an AT command followed by a Carriage Return character and then waited for 400 ms for the phone to respond with an “OK”. If within the 400 ms there is no answer (meaning that the phone does not respond) then program execution would continue at label “nophone” where I use a small code to indicate phone absence.

    Further to the above, I suggest you test communication at various speeds, baud rates. Try 9600 which is the standard and on unsuccessful results move down to lower speeds.
    You can also check your cable connection or the levels on your RS232 interface. Also check if you need to use True or Inverted mode in your SEROUT lines.
    I haven used the 16F84 but I cannot see any reason why it should not work ok.

    Regards
    Kypros

    Thanks for the advice Kypros, I found the problem to be the lack of a comma. I found the program to be hanging by add in a couple of leds and some toggle commands between at commands.
    I used the debug command instead of the serout as I could not get the serout to work properly for some strange reason.

    Hi.

    Where can I find the Nokia protocol? I can't understand what are the AT commands for? Where can I find a comprehensive info about the commands like:
    AT
    AT+CMGF=1
    AT+CMGL
    ATZ
    AT+CMGS
    etc.
    I would like to understand the NavMicroSystems's program, but I can't without the protocol.
    Please give me some usefull links, bacause I would also like to control my PIC with a SMS.

    Thanks

    Thanx for the point.
    I still can’t understand some of your ideas, therefore I rewrote your program in a way that I think it should be. I wrote my questions like comments next to the lines which I can’t get. So could you please take a look and answer the questions.
    And do you think that this program could be used with all Nokia phones with embedded modems, or it’s for the 62xx series only?

    @ Bulman

    before you buy a mobile phone
    you should have a look at at the SIEMENS TC35i GSM Terminal.
    It is more reliable and has more features.
    (i.e. remote reset and remote power on/off)

    The TC35i is available at about 150 EUR (or even less)

    see: siemens.com.

    Default Hyper Terminal & GSM AT

    Hi,

    I have Nokia 7110 and MBUS/FBUS dual data cable.
    (home made) I can use some Nokia GSM control
    softwares with it. (Oxygen Phone Manager, LogoManager etc)

    But, when I want to use with Hyper Terminal for AT commands,
    the phone does not answer. I am planning for secure use with
    PIC mController. But after PC tests.

    What is the wrong ? Any idea for this ?

    sounds like the data lead is working in one mode but not the other. I have 2 seperate cables, the one I use for Logo manager is different from the one I use for sms or interconect connection

    May be if you type the ATE1 command enables the echo?

    Default Nokia 7110

    I just learned that Nokia 7110 has not an embedded modem.
    A software driver or DLR-3P cable required.
    I am planning to use Siemens C55.
    Thanks,

    Default Restart

    Hello there!

    Anybody knows how to restart a nokia 6210 thru AT COMMAND or PDU format. Logo Manager has a provision for that.

    Thanks in advance

    gonna get a second hand 6210 to have a play at this

    do i need to use a max232 or will i be able to hook straight up to a mobile and just use the serin and serout commands?

    Nope. Nokia uses the Fbus. You must bye a RS232-to-Fbus converter, or make your own.

    hi, got a nokia 6210 and a dlr-3p cable

    tried it with hyperterminal with the pc and works fine.

    i tried connecting pins 2,3 and 5 (rx,tx and gnd) to the pic and could not get it to work, i just tried connecting it to the pc with just the 3 pins connected and it would not work?

    any ideas? i thought i only needed to connect the 3 wires?

    It is correct, to communicate with the phone you only need RX, TX and GND.

    But the Data cable has some embedded logic that is powered from the DB9 connector DTR and/or RTS pin.

    so if i connect the dtr pin to 5v it should work?

    Try it with both RTS and DTR on the data cable connected to +5V.

    If this doesn't work you may need a higher voltage (up to +12V)

    I can't tell wether the "Taiwan-Cable" I have used was a "DLR-3P" type or something else.

    But I think it does not really matter as you are saying your cable works with "HyperTerm".

    Do you have a DB9 "Breakout-Box" handy?

    If so:
    connect your DLR-3P cable to your PC across "Breakout-Box"
    and find out which pins are really needed by checking communication with "Hyperterm"

    Once you have identified the Pins check the Voltage Level at the "Supply" pins (DTR and/or RTS) it is most likely something between +10 an +12 V.

    Connect RX, TX and GND to your PIC
    and supply the identified "supply"-pins with the correct voltage.

    Assuming your PIC-code is ok, It should work.

    If it doesn't work, try to communicate with your PIC using "Hyperterm"
    and debug the PIC code.

    Questions:

    What type of PIC are ypu using?

    Are you using the HW USART and HSERIN/HSEROUT?

    Do you have a "MAX232" type of level shifter connected to the PIC?

    What is the PICs clock speed?
    (9600 Baud won't work with a 4MHz clock.)

    regards

    Ralph
