Anyone, I am trying to connect to a GSM modem model GM28 from Sony Ericsson. They note that I require a 9 wire RS232 connection to communicate with the modem. Am I correct in thinking that the SMS band is always on so I do not require RTS (ready to send) pin on the modem and only run the carrier detect pin directly to my PIC pin? I have searched the archives and found nothing on this. Does anyone have an wiring example.

I wonder if they mean "db9" instead of "9 wire"? In other words,
not really 9 physical connections, but a db9 connector? Dunno what that GM28 is really going to want (check the manual). If it needs to know DTR and RTS from your device, just tie them low (usually active low pins). I would think that DCD would go low as soon as the modem syncs up with the base station. Read it from the input pin to know when "something" is ready (again, the manual should tell you.) If it were me, I'd run all the inputs from the modem into the pic and use them appropriately. I'd also run the appropriate outputs to the modem from the pic.

How hard would it be to port a program written for the 16F84 to a 16F628? Any big changes need made? Or can I just recompile with new processor selection and appropriate changes in code for device type? Shawn |

Thanks
Rick,
Since my program is in C I should be fine, the compiler should
take note of the minor differences and put it together appropriately.
Thanks
for the info!
Shawn
