Interfacing of GSM module with 8051
hello sir/madam,
This forumis very good. last time also i had used this.Got very nice information.:)
Now i want to interface GSM module with 8051.
1)can i do it without using hyper terminal? (i guess it can be done by using serial port of 8051. ami right?
2) i don't know the basics of how gsm module is interfaced with micro-controller. so i haven't purchased any
modem. so i don't have datasheets or manuals. i was referring some datasheets which i got frominternet but i din't get
much after reading those. I have decided to clear my basics first and then i will purchase it. is it ok? any idea where
will i get this info?
3) please tell me where will i get this?
4) actually in my project i want to make a systemwhich will send a message to a particular number when pre-decided
speed limit is crossed. so i will have to mount that module on vehicle directly along with micro-controller.
5) also i amnot getting fromwhere i should start to interface GSM module to microcontroller.. (i.e. i know the
destination but don't know how to reach there :o)

RE: Interfacing of GSM module with 8051
Get a GSM module with a serial port.
Get a GSM module that has _good_ documentation available.
Either get a GSM module with same logic levels for the serial port as your processor uses - or insert a logic-level
shifter between module and processor.
Keep an eye on what supply voltages the GSM module requieres. Life can be easier if you have a module that can
use the same supply voltage as the processor. Or that uses one of the more common voltages, like 3.3V.
Consider if the GSM module can be bought with a development board - most modules uses a very fine-pitch connector
that you may have troubles buying. And troubles soldering. You can even find sites specializing in hobbyists, that sells
small kits with the module mounted on some formof breakout board - can be cheaper than buying an SDK fromthe
module manufacturer.
Read the documentation for the module, to figure out what AT commands to use to get the expected result.
Code, test, debug, repeat.
Unless you extract speed information fromthe vehicle using CAN or your own speed sensor on a wheel, you would
have to look into adding a GPS to the design too. Note that there exists modems that also contains a GPS - but
prioritize documentation and how to physically connect and mount the module before prioritizing a module with internal
GPS. As a hobbyist, the manufacturers and distributors will not break their backs to get you support with datasheets
etc...

You probably also need to study the so-called "bible" for the 8051 architecture: http://www.8052.com/forum

RE: you people are more experienced than me
You need to do your own basic study.
If you then have specific questions, people will help - but won't do your basic study for you.
If you want the job done for you - at a fee - see: http://www.keil.com/condb
