I want to understand the operating principle of GSM, otherwise, I will order a GSM module by a peak (sms sent, receives sms).

Hi,

This is a CCS 'C' forum. Is your interest in the context of interfacing the GSM module with a PIC programmed in CCS 'C'?

GSM module usually use UART. It's easy. Commands for GSM module you can find in pdf for your module.

Hi,

OK, fair enough, but your question is much too vague. What, specifically, do you need to know about using a GSM modem with a PIC micro? As already noted, most have UART that will connect to the PIC. Which GSM module have you got?

I made a wish, PIC + GSM module, this system is a state supervised, for example, I want to let this system in the house when an event occurred at home he sent me a message on my phone to give me this information

Hi,

Looking at 'triggers' (digital inputs, analog inputs, etc.) and then sending text messages in response is pretty straight-forward. I did a similar project using the ADH 8066 GSM module. Here is where you can get one:

I'd also recommend that you get one of these evaluation boards to help get you up to speed using this module

Once you've got a handle on the commands this module accepts, it's pretty easy to connect the module to a PIC and make it do what you want.
