hi,
I am working with the gsm module(simcom sim900a).
I am trying to connect with this to PC through serial port.
I want to know hoe to connect that gsm module to PC through serial port and how to test that one.
 

We're also working on a sim900 project right now, and we're trying to interface it with a PIC mcu. So far, we've been able to send AT commands using hyperterminal on the laptop through a USB to RS232 converter cable. I've also tried sending AT commands using mikroC's USART tool and that worked as well. maybe we can help :) what exactly is your problem? have you tried connecting it to your pc? have you tried sending AT commands through hyperterminal?
 

hi
I'm using SIM900A interfacing with atmega32 controller...
using at commands I'm sending sms through hyper terminal its working fine..
when same commands sending from controller its not working.....

from controller commands are like this

AT(CR)
AT+CMGF=1(CR)
AT+CMGS="+919493929190"(CR)DATA(CNTL+Z)
here modem gives responce like...

AT


OK

AT+CMGF=1


OK

AT+CMGS="+919493929190"
DATA

>
here its waiting for data......
help me to solve this problem
thank you......

Hi, maybe you can post your code so we can try to see how we can help :) have you tried putting small time delays after each command? maybe turning off the GSM module's echo function (ATEO) will help also. From what I understand, it seems as if your microcontroller has already sent the DATA before the GSM module's ">" response. Good luck! :)

I'm sending commands to modem as shown below



void main()
{
delay_ms(500);
UART_Init();
delay_ms(10000);


GSMInitCommands();
delay_ms(1000);
UART_TransmitString("AT+CMGS=");
delay_ms(100);
UART_TransmitByte('"');
delay_ms(100);
UART_TransmitString("+919493205204");
delay_ms(100);
UART_TransmitByte('"');
delay_ms(100);
UART_TransmitByte(13);
delay_ms(500);
UART_TransmitString("HELLO.....");
delay_ms(100);
UART_TransmitByte(26);
delay_ms(1000);

}

void GSMInitCommands()
{
UART_TransmitString("ATE1");
UART_TransmitByte(GSM_SEND_COMMAND);
delay_ms(1000);

UART_TransmitString(ATCommandArray);
UART_TransmitByte(GSM_SEND_COMMAND);
delay_ms(1000);

UART_TransmitString(smsFormateArray);
UART_TransmitByte(GSM_SEND_COMMAND);
delay_ms(1000);
}
 

I'm not sure but I think this part is causing the problem:

maybe you can try transmitting the whole AT command like this:

UART_TransmitString("AT+CMGS=\"+919493205204\"");

or

const char at_command[] = "AT+CMGS=\"+919493205204\""
.
.
.
UART_TransmitString(at_command);

Hi,

We are also trying to interface the GSM Module SIMCOM 300 to a Microcontroller. We were able to connect it to the hyperterminal and generate a call.
But we are not able to generate a call through the Microcontroller.

This is the code we are using for sending the data,

Code: 
init_serial();
	transmit_data('A');	  				// Transmit 'A' to serial port
	delay(1);
	
	transmit_data('T');	 				// Transmit 'T' to serial port
	delay(1);
	transmit_data(0x0d); 					// Transmit carriage return to serial port
	delay(500);
	lcd_cmd(0x01);
	lcd_data_string("Calling Rizvi");
	delay(100);

	lcd_cmd(0xC0);	 
	lcd_data_string("ATD+ 91838200101");
	delay(100);							// Initialize LCD
	lcd_cmd(0x01);							// Initialize serial port
	

	transmit_data('A');	  				// Transmit 'A' to serial port
	delay(1);
	
	transmit_data('T');	 				// Transmit 'T' to serial port
	delay(1);

	transmit_data('D');	  				// Transmit 'D' to serial port
	delay(1);
	
	transmit_data('+');	  				// Transmit '+' to serial port
	delay(1);

	transmit_data(32);	  				// Transmit Space to serial port
	delay(1);

	transmit_data('9');	  				// Transmit '9' to serial port
	delay(1);

	transmit_data('1');	  				// Transmit '1' to serial port
	delay(1);

	transmit_data('1');	  				// Transmit '1' to serial port
	delay(1);

	transmit_data('9');	 				// Transmit '9' to serial port
	delay(1);
	
	transmit_data('2');	  				// Transmit '2' to serial port
	delay(1);
	
	transmit_data('2');	 				// Transmit '2' to serial port
	delay(1);
	
	transmit_data('8');	  				// Transmit '8' to serial port
	delay(1);
	
	transmit_data('3');	 				// Transmit '3' to serial port
	delay(1);
	
	transmit_data('9');	  				// Transmit '9' to serial port
	delay(1);
	
	transmit_data('2');	 				// Transmit '2' to serial port
	delay(1);
	
	transmit_data('2');	  				// Transmit '2' to serial port
	delay(1);

	transmit_data(';');	  				// Transmit ';' to serial port
	delay(1);

	transmit_data(0x0d);  					// Transmit carriage return to serial port
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	delay(500);
	
	lcd_cmd(0x80);
	lcd_cmd(0x01);
	lcd_data_string("Disconnecting");
	delay(100);
	transmit_data('A');	 				// Transmit 'A' to serial port
	delay(1);
	transmit_data('T');	  				// Transmit 'T' to serial port
	delay(1);
	transmit_data('H');	 				// Transmit 'H' to serial port
	delay(1);
	transmit_data(0x0d); 
	lcd_cmd(0xC0);
	lcd_data_string("DISCONNECTED");
	while(1);
}


Any help would be highly appreciated, Thanks
 
HI,

i've configured sim300 with micon and it is working properly for sending sms and generating call to other mobiles........
here your are initiating call and next to that disconnecting(terminating) the initiated path.........
we need to wait untill call is initiated mean it ring on other side............
for that you need to prepare the modem with some commands

AT
AT+CMGF=1
AT+CLIP=1

like this.........
 

Code: 
#include<at89x51.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void initialize_GSM_modem(void);
void initialize_serialcommunication(void);
unsigned char Command_AT[]="AT\n\r";
unsigned char Command_IPR[]="AT+IPR=9600\n\r";
unsigned char Command_CMGF[]="AT+CMGF=1\n\r";
unsigned char CtrlZ=0x1A; 
unsigned char Command_CMGS[]="AT+CMGS=\"+91xxxxxxxx\"\n\r"; 
unsigned char msg02[]="data";
void delay2(void)
{
 unsigned int i;

 for(i=0;i<25000;i++); 
}
void initialize_GSM_modem(void)
{
 delay2();
 delay2();
 puts(Command_AT);
 delay2();
 puts(Command_IPR);
 delay2();
 puts(Command_CMGF);
 delay2();
 puts(Command_CMGS);
 delay2();
 puts(msg02);
 delay2();
 while(!TI); TI = 0;SBUF = 0x1A;	  
}

void initialize_serialcommunication(void)
{
 TMOD = 0x20;
 SCON = 0x50; 
 TH1 = 0xFD;  
 TR1 = 1;
 TI=1; 
}
void main (void) 
{
 initialize_serialcommunication(); 
 initialize_GSM_modem();
}
You just try this. This will definitely work.
 
HI all
I've worked hard on SIM900.... how ever its working fine now ....
the problem is when i'm sending commands to the module with some delay... but i'm not reading their response from the modem ........
now i'm sending command and wait for the response .....All commands are working fine there's no issues now.......
thankyou to all
