I had tried to build the circuit and used the codes provided from the magazine ROBOT.HEAD TO TOE with the topic "Control & Monitoring Via SMS",but it is not working! Is that because i using different type of GSM modem? Gsm modem that i use is Wavecom Fastrack Supreme 10, any idea???

Different model of GSM modem might have different protocol. Did you try to interface with the GSM modem via the Hyperterminal in Windows?

I think waiweng83 is asking you whether the protocol for both GSM modem is the same. HyperTerminal is the easier method to verify that. If the protocol is not the same, of course the sample source code cannot be used. :mrgreen:

I never heard any different GSM protocol other than AT Command. Just look at the interface, it is RS232 or TTL or USB. But most I heard, still use AT Command.

AT command is just a method of sending and receiving the command and data from a device. With AT command there are still different set of "protocol", for example XBee is using AT command too, but can the AT command set from GSM be used on XBee?

Yes true. But no GSM modem use NMEA protocol, RC5 protocol, modbus, profibus or Fbus. AT Command is sinonym with GSM. So, I think it's more on the interfacing level, not much on AT Command.

Don think the code is the problem :mrgreen:

Show us your hardware, have you downloaded the sample code into your controller?
