Its my first time to use gsm shield to my arduino so I'm kinda confused so i need directions. My aim is to read the message sent to my gsm shield then compare that message into a specific string. if they are the same, arduino will do something. Example is, the GSM shield received a text message containing STATUS, the arduino will do something. The problem I'm stuck up with now is how to read the incoming characters from the gsm module into a single string then compare that string into a specific word. I have this code as of now.
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <String.h>
char inchar[255];
SoftwareSerial cell(2,3);
int led1 = 22;
#define powerOn 4
int i;
//char comparestring[160];
char command[]={'S','T','A','T','U','S','\0'}; // this is a string for command ended with null terminator
void setup()
{
// ilagay sa loob ng setup
digitalWrite(powerOn, HIGH);
delay(1500);
digitalWrite(powerOn, LOW);
delay(5000);
pinMode(led1, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(led1, LOW);
Serial.begin(9600);
cell.b-egin(9600);
delay(30000);
cell.println("AT+CMGF=1"); // set SMS mode to text
delay(200);
cell.println("AT+CNMI=1,2,0,0,0 "); // set module to send SMS data to serial out upon receipt
delay(200);
Serial.println("GSM SHIELD IS NOW OK AND READY");
}
void loop()
{
while(cell.available() >0)
{
inchar[i]=cell.read();
i++;
inchar[i] = '\0';
Serial.print(inchar);
if (inchar==command)
{
digitalWrite(led1, HIGH);
cell.write("AT+CMGS=\"");
cell.write("09267955775");
cell.write("\"\r");
delay(1000);
cell.write("\nTerminal Monitoring System");
delay(1000);
cell.write(0x1A); // End the SMS with a control-z
}
else
{
Serial.println("\nInvalid Keyword! Type ?");
dig-italWrite(led1, LOW);
}
}
}
these codes are the codes that supposed to do the trick but i think its not working. I hope you can teach me the right way. Thank you!
