    Hi there!..So this is my partial project for my research proposal on how I integrated my GSM Shield module, specifically the SIM900D, with the PIC16F877A microcontroller unit. In this project, I only constructed a sending process function by using a push-button. Therefore, every time I would press the push-button, a fixed message would be sent to a specific recipient. This is only a basic construction of understanding the GSM Shield function and its AT Commands.


    The image that is shown below is the GSM Shield SIM900D that I used for my project. You can purchase this at http://www.e-gizmo.com/KIT/gsm shield.html for about 1,995.00 pesos.





    Features and Specifications of GSM/GPRS Shield:
    • Industry proven SIMCOM SIM900D Module
    • Buffered UART provides additional layer of protection
    • Fused power input
    • On board LDO voltage regulator
    • UART/SUART switch selectable port (gizDuino)
    • On board manual power switch
    • SIM Card Holder


    Here is the circuit I made by integrating the PIC16F877A (datasheet:http://www.kynix.com/uploadfiles/pdf...F877A-I2fL.pdf)and the GSM Shield:







    Be sure to connect the Tx of the GSM Shield to the Tx of the PIC and the Rx of the GSM Shield to the Rx of the PIC. Take note also that the GSM needs to be powered by a 1.5A and 5VDC supply and its ground must be COMMON to the ground of the circuit.


    For the PIC16F877A programming code, I used a programming language which is the "MikroC Pro for PIC". MikroC has an awesome and numerous features of built-in libraries along with examples of small programs in order for the user to simply understand the functions. Here is my program code: (REMEMBER: This is only a sending process, it does not consist of a receiving capability yet.)
