Pic to GSM Phone connection (HSerin problems)

[isaac]

i am trying to upload the screen shots but keep getting msg that this exceeds 200kb

I dont know what happened to my last post.
i was trying to attach the screen shots but couldn't.
i connected breakout as you suggested and think i know what the problem is but not the solution lo
When i connected the Tx/Rx to the Rx of the Pc when i run my program
the pic is not sending anything to screen at all so this means the phone is not receiving anything so its not responding.
But if i then disconnect the phone DLR-3 cable from the serial port of my project board i can see the AT command being sent to the phone on screen so i think the phone cable maybe faulty.
i am still trying to get the shot to you but keep getting this massage below

Your file of 1.08 MB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 200.0 KB for this filetype.

Make the file smaller jpg, png, bmp. No more than 200kb. This size is more than enough!

About the problem not monitoring try smaller resistors like 4K7 or smaller. May be your driver from the PIC side is not powerful. What chip do you use?

i use Max232 which comes with the project board

here are the results

What I see is in the first case only AT. Where is the rest of the string?

Something is not working here. Check your overall setup of the PIC. Are you sure about the loaded program in the PIC memory? Try erasing before programming.

Should come up with the rest of the commands, like ATZ etc.

Sorry about that.
you would only see AT because the pic times out when it dont get ok back and goes back in the loop
