sms controller with pic16f873
PostPosted: Sat Feb 06, 2010 6:00 am     Reply with quote

Hi Guys, I have small problem and I will apreciate little help. I just started developing sms controller, based on pic16f873 using CCS. Initially I was thinking that I will find some examples on the net to use as starting point, but after 10-15 days of browing I am berried in archived projects, but not relly what I can use. I need to control relays and send GPS data. I am using AT commands (this is what SIM508 modile operates with). This module has GPS receiver, so I just need to get the data and transmit with the relay status let say every 2 hours. I manage to configure the module to GSM and GPS part to work with 9600 boud speed, so I will use UART of the PIC. Can some one help ?

Post the code you need help with.

That is how you attract attention that will help you.

The first step is YOU making a start with your code on display.

I don't come here looking to do your work for you - only to see what parts you don't get. & help with THAT.

If you don't even know how to start -
then you are in the wrong line of work.
and looking in the wrong place too.

connection problem
PostPosted: Sat Feb 06, 2010 3:41 pm     Reply with quote

Hi Asmboy,
the first problem I have is the connection between the max232 and the SIM module. When I post AT commands from my PC using hyperterminal and the gsm module sends SMS. I have transferred these same commands into the PIC ( I am using UART & max232). When I test this by connecting the PIC's port to the SIM module and run the SW- nothing appears. No SMS is sent (at least I didn't receive it).
I believe my connection is not correct. I am using only 2, 3 and 5 pin of the 9 pin connector. I have seen people shorting 4 and 7pin or 1,6 and4 + 7 and 8. This is the 9 pin conector from the SIM module side. What is the correct connection?
The second problem is what if I just ignore the incoming reply from the GSM modem. I can just wait 1 second (until the modem replies OK for example) and post the next command. Is this OK or I must handle the reply?

The code I am using for testing is below.
Code:
// test SMS v6
#include "C:\Program files\PICC\Devices\16f873.h"
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NOBROWNOUT,PUT
#use delay(clock=20000000)
  //#include <lcd.h>
#Byte PortA=0x05
#Byte PortB=0x06
#use fast_io(A)
#use fast_io(B)
#Define Nop #Asm Nop #EndAsm


send_SMS();

void send_SMS(void)
{
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7)
  printf("AT\r\n");
  delay_ms(5000);
  printf("at+cmgf=1\r\n");
  delay_ms(5000);
  printf("at+cmgs=\"+4478XXXXXXXX\"\r\n");
  delay_ms(5000);
  printf("This is the message.");
  putc(0x1A);
  delay_ms(5000);
}

void main()
{   
   SET_TRIS_A( 0b10000110 );
   SET_TRIS_B( 0b00000101 );   delay_ms(1);

   send_SMS();
 
     while(1)
     {
         // Toggle led
         PORTA ^= 1;
         // Simple delay
         delay_ms(500);
     }

}

OK. I have this running. I had to connect pin 7+8 and 1 +4 on the connector going to the SIM module. I am not sure I need both connections but I will check tomorrow and I will post my findings.

I have also the function send_SMS running. However, I have some problem receiving SMS.

problem receiving SMS
PostPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 6:10 am     Reply with quote

Hi Guys, I have problem receiving SMS. I have tested the code only with single character and it is working perfect. However, when I want to parse a text it fails. Can someone help?
The code which is working is:
Code:


#include "C:\Program files\PICC\Devices\16f873.h"
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#Byte PortA=0x05
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,bits=8,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,stream=GSM,errors)
// **************** Function definitions ******************
read_SMS();
char b; char x;
// ************* interupts ************************
#int_rda
void serial_isr()
{
  char c;
   c=getc();
    if('*'==c)b=1;

}
void read_SMS()
{
   b=0;
   fprintf(GSM,"AT\r\n");
   delay_ms(2000);
   fprintf(GSM,"at+cmgf=1\r\n");
   delay_ms(2000);
   fprintf(GSM,"AT+CMGL=\"ALL\"\r\n"); 
   delay_ms(2000);                      // start saving message at the begining of the array

}


void main()

   SET_TRIS_A( 0b10000110 );
   enable_interrupts(int_rda);
   enable_interrupts(global);
   output_high(PIN_A0);
   read_SMS();
    while(1)
 {
  while(b)
  {
  // Toggle led
         PORTA ^= 1;
         // Simple delay
         delay_ms(500);
  } 
 }
}



The code which is NOT working
Code:

#include "C:\Program files\PICC\Devices\16f873.h"
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#Byte PortA=0x05
#Define CR 0x0D // Carriage return
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,bits=8,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,stream=GSM,errors)

int RX_Command_ready;
int RX_Command_beginning;
#define RX_SIZE 80 //RS232 buffer for serial reception
char RxBuffer[RX_SIZE];
int Serial_Index;
read_SMS();
char b; char x;
// ************* interupts ************************
#int_rda
void serial_isr()
{
if(RX_Command_Ready==0)
{
    RxBuffer[Serial_Index]=fgetc(GSM); //getRx data


    switch(RxBuffer[Serial_Index])
   {

    case 'A':
        if((RX_Command_Beginning==0) && (Serial_Index>0) &&(RxBuffer[Serial_Index-1]=='*'))
        {
         RxBuffer[1]=RxBuffer[Serial_Index];
         Serial_Index =2;
         RX_Command_Beginning=1;
        }
        else
        {
          if(RX_Command_Beginning==0) Serial_Index=1;
          else Serial_Index=(Serial_Index+1) % RX_SIZE;
        }
        return;
     // CR the command is completed
    case CR:
       
           if(RX_Command_Beginning==1)
                RX_Command_Ready=1;
            else
               Serial_Index=1;
          return;
           default: // update the buffer pointer
       if(RX_Command_Beginning==1)
         Serial_Index=(Serial_Index+1) % RX_SIZE;
       else
       { RxBuffer[0]=RxBuffer[Serial_Index];
         Serial_Index=1;
       }
    }//switch
}

}
void read_SMS()// thank you gabriel-> http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39913&highlight=sms
{  b=0;
   fprintf(GSM,"AT\r\n");
   delay_ms(2000);
   fprintf(GSM,"at+cmgf=1\r\n");
   delay_ms(2000);
   fprintf(GSM,"AT+CMGL=\"ALL\"\r\n");     //putchar(0x0D);
   delay_ms(5000);                      // start saving message at the begining of the array

}
void main()
{  SET_TRIS_A( 0b10000110 );
setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
ext_int_edge(h_to_l);
   enable_interrupts(int_rda);
   enable_interrupts(global);
   output_high(PIN_A0);
   read_SMS();
   disable_interrupts(int_rda);
   disable_interrupts(global);
if(RX_Command_ready>0)

b=1;
   while(1)
 {
  while(b)
  {
  // Toggle led
         PORTA ^= 1;
         // Simple delay
         delay_ms(500);
  }
 }
}


Sad may be I need some optimization of my int_rda. I can see the SMS clearly on Hyperterminal when I test separately. The message is "*A123".

HI vivi

I have studied your project and it was helpful for me. I am doing the same kind of project. I have to take 2 adc results plus one status (high or low) and then send the data through sms. Also if possible I can receive sms on microcontroller side and trip some relays. Help from your side will be a great favour...
Please check the following link to see my coding....

I have looked at your code and think it needs serious attention:-

Code:

  case 'A':
        if((RX_Command_Beginning==0) && (Serial_Index>0) &&(RxBuffer[Serial_Index-1]=='*'))
        {
         RxBuffer[1]=RxBuffer[Serial_Index];
         Serial_Index =2;
         RX_Command_Beginning=1;
        }
        else
        {
          if(RX_Command_Beginning==0) Serial_Index=1;
          else Serial_Index=(Serial_Index+1) % RX_SIZE;
        }
        return;


Firstly, you should be using a break instruction to break out of case statements, I am sure return works fine but looks messy, in your code you can just replace the returns with break.

more importantly I don't think it will ever work. Your problem is this:-
&&(RxBuffer[Serial_Index-1]=='*')

I ran through the code in my head and from what I can see serial_index -1 will allways be 0 which will allways contain the char 'A' as you never overwrite this index!

based on the response :-
Code:

AT+CMGR=2\0D
\0D
\0A
+CMGR: "REC UNREAD","01150971734","Dn55 Movil","09/08/14,19:51:49-12"\0D
\0A
*LED1 1*\0D
\0A
\0D
\0A
OK\0D
\0A

First char is 'A' this gets stored at index 0.
Serial_Index is then set to 1.
RX_Command_Beginning remains at 0

Actually, looking at it again you never see another 'A' so it will never enter the case 'A' block again. Unless your message contains an 'A' ?

But even if it did the problem I stated before remains, Serial_Index - 1 will never = '*' as far as I can see. I could be wrong Smile
