:: Lcd controller; connect 20x4 character LCD to parallel port
The downloadable file contains the whole project folder with sources for Gambas2. This is
a minimal working implementation; you have two buttons on the form: the first is for
display initialization / clear, the second writes an incrementing character each time you
click it, every time moving to next available LCD cursor position.
DB7..DB0 - Data bus, connected to 'D7..D0' of LCD
/STB - Strobe, connected to 'E' of LCD
/SCI - Slct-in, connected to 'WE' of LCD
/AFD - Auto-LF, connected to 'RS' of LCD
GND - Signal ground, connected to 'VSS' of LCD
The +5V supply can be taken from pin 4 of connector J15
Look at my page linux_howto for a small tutorial
on Gambas2 environment installation.
:: Sms logger; reads sms from cellphone and stores to your disk
Immediatly after launching the program, click the "test" button; the program will send some AT commands to the mobile
phone (using a script file named testcmd.txt) to verify that it's able to do the job. In this updated version,
the program tries 5 times to make the phone operative; if the test is ok, you can see your telephone number in the
text box at low left side; now can click on "start" button to start logging. The program sends AT commands to
retrieve messages (in PDU format) and if an SMS is found, decodes the PDU to ascii format and appends the string
to the output file named smslog.txt. The 'delete' checkbox, if set, removes the sms from the telephone memory
after saving it to the file. As default it isn't checked, for making easier to test the program without the need
for sending multiple messages (the sms that are in telephone's memory are re-saved to disk at every poll cycle).
The program has been written using the free Basic language Gambas2, running under Linux Ubuntu.
The install file is packaged also for Linux Ubuntu; if running such Linux distro, you can simply double click
on the downloaded file to start installation.
A typical (default) script file testcmd.txt is:
!DTR_ON
!RTS_ON
!FORCED_ECHO_ON
!DELAY_250MS
ATE1
OK
AT+CSMS=?
OK
AT+CMGF=?
+CMGF: (0)
AT+CNMI=?
+CNMI: (0,1),(0,1),(0,2),(0,2),(1)
AT+CPMS=?
+CPMS: ("MT","SM","ME")
AT+CPMS="SM"
+CPMS:
The lines that have ! as start character will NOT wait for an answer from the cellphone (immediate commands)
The other lines are the AT commands to send to the phone and the expected answer; i.e. the "ATE1" command (line 5
of script) waits for OK (line 6 of script) from the phone. You can modify the script as you want, using the same
scheme question/answer, one for each row.
If you run Ubuntu, you can install the program just double-clicking on the downloaded file,
but if you want to use the command line mode, then do:
sudo aptitude install gambas2-runtime gambas2-gb-gui gambas2-gb-form gambas2-gb-net gambas2-gb-vb
dpkg -i smslog*.deb
Note: thanks to my son Gilberto (aka Velenux) for his help for the command line example.
Note: you must have a working installation of Gambas2 on your PC to run the program...
Look at my page Linux HowTo for details about the Gambas2 installation under Puppy Linux.
