How can I display a sms on LCD?
Please help/guide me....

[Praful]

Dear Gabriel,
Thanks for your valuable code

Hi Praful,

I'm glad to see you find this code useful.

Before I start to help you please answer/do the following:

- Are you simulating or using REAL hardware?
- Have you gotten the original code as posted to work with your hardware?
- Show me your attempt at modifying the code.
- Tell me where you are stuck.

Firstly I am simulating the code with two uC.
And making a hardware side by side. I'm stuck at message devide for a displaying on LCD . I'm using 20x4 LCD to display a message on it.

[Gabriel]

Hi,

How are you simulating with 2 uC? That doesnt make much sense...
You havent answered half of the questions i asked you... there is a reason i asked those questions.

Let me know when you have real hardware, and have compiled and actually gotten the code to run in your setup.

The point of posting code for others, is to help others save time, not waste mine.

Hi,

Your question is fairly open-ended! Displaying text on an LCD is very
straight-forward, and is covered in (literally) thousands of messages on this
forum. Rather, I suspect what you are really asking is how to extract the
SMS data from the GSM module, parse the actual SMS message, and display
it on the LCD?

I posted some code snippets recently that should help you out with this task:

http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=50241&highlight=

Using a 2nd PIC to simulate the GSM modem is a good idea. During the
development of of my GSM project, I used a PC, and a Visual Basic
application I wrote to do this. You just have to be very careful that you
are accurately simulating the behavior of the GSM modem, or you'll be
actually making your life harder, not simpler

Hi Ezflyr,

It would be great if you could maybe post the Simulating Code!

I appologize if i am reluctant to jump in and help right out of the box, but you know how things are lately around here...

indeed the question is related to parsing the input buffer looking for the particular string or SMS message.

however if he was simulating on ISIS, or simply fishing for a pointless answer to an imaginary problem i really didnt want to waste my time...


If he has actually compiled and tried the code as posted, and it works, then I know that he *Has working hardware and its fairly easy to help him out.

I/we/anyone helping have to rule out other posible sources of problems...

1) Hardware
2) Proteus
3) Compiler
4) etc...

and I also want to see him try...

Dear Gabriel,
I made a hardware and test the code but not succeed like Proteus.
My working code on Proteus is as follows but on real hardware it stuck at first stage not getting "OK" for "AT".(RETRYING - STUCK IN LOOP).
Please help...
My code:-
while(1)
{
printf("%s",Receive_String); //To print on Hyper terminal
Printf(lcd_putc,"%s",Receive_String); //To print on LCD
CLEAR_BUFFER();
}

I really think you are NOT using real hardware since:

[ezflyr]

Hi Praful,

Have you spent any time searching the forum for other GSM projects? If you
had, you'd know that we always want to know what GSM modem you are
using, and how it's connected to your PIC? I don't want to 'pile on' here, but
you've got to learn how to ask questions intelligently if you expect to get
any meaningful help here on the forum!

At this point, you appear to have a 'hardware' issue (this is a big leap of
faith, because I'm not 100% convinced you actually have 'real' hardware!)
There is really no point in doing anything else until you can perform
a successful communications test with your modem, and receive an 'OK'.

how can i insert an image of my project to show u reality...?????

Here is the project Photo just taken by my mob

Hi,

Post your picture to a free picture hosting service, and give us the link here!

What Modem are you using? How is it connected to your PIC??

John

[Gabriel]

Praful,

You have succesfully butchered the code beyond any kind of functionality.

Even if you get past the COMs check, the posted code WILL NEVER WORK.

The code I've posted, will work with an '877A as is with some Basic Minor changes to allow compilation for that chip.


Note the following:
1) I didnt see any link or picture in your post... (might be my PC)
2) Ill Assume there is one and that you are using real hardware for now.
3) You did not even try to get the code to work AS IS before you started to chop it. i cant guide you if you butcher code blindly.
4) how exactly are you telling you PIC that a new message has arrived? you deleted half the code.
5) how are you reading the SMS? again, deleted half the code.
6) see below:

Dear John,
I just attached a link of my project and tomorrow I'll attach the schematic also thanks for your kind help..... And sorry Gabriel I forgot that correcting tomorrow and show u the maximum code thanks again for ur help...
