Ref: www.linotux.ch/arduino/

HC-05 embedded Bluetooth serial communication module has two work modes: order-response work mode and automatic connection work mode . And there are three work roles (Master, Slave and Loopback) at the automatic connection work mode. When the module is at the automatic connection work mode, it will follow the default way set lastly to transmit the data automatically. When the module is at the order-response work mode, user can send the AT command to the module to set the control parameters and sent control order. The work mode of module can be switched by controlling the module PIN (PIO11) input level. Continue reading Bluetooth Module Serial Communication AT command set →

GSM modem interfacing

Arduino Tutorials, Tutorials, , , ,

The GSM modem, phones provides a low cost, long range, wireless communication channel for embedded, microcontroller based applications that need connectivity rather than high data rates. Machinery such as industrial refrigerators, freezers, HVAC, monitoring and vending machines, vehicle service, warning system, security system, remote control etc. could benefit from being connected to a GSM modem.

This tutorial describes how to use an AVR to control a GSM modem using AT commands. The interface between modem and host is a textual protocol called AT-Commands. These commands enable GSM modem setup, dialing, text messaging etc. This particular application connects an AVR ATmega8 and SIM300, SIM900 module using a RS232 connection. Most GSM modems have same AT commands. Continue reading GSM modem interfacing →
