PropPhone update

the propphoneterminaldemo is a full functioning, commandline cell phone.· YOu can make and take
calls... and send text messages
Currently the only connections between the Prop and the Telit module (from SparkFun) are the ground
line, RXD and TXD on the module to ground, pins 3 and 11 on the Prop... the exact connection will
change in the future
as always, when testing updates, make sure the pinouts haven't changed.
The keyboard pins are now standard protoboard values.
to answer your phone hit F1
to hang up hit F12
to review text messages... hit f11 to increment and f10 to decrement
to send a text message
·· you first enter your AT command...at+cmgs=
·· then enter the telephone number and hit your enter key.
·· When you get a prompt enter your message.
·· There is no check on message length...so, keep it real short.
·· in sending a text message the final command you need to send is a control-z, which on my set up·····
·· doesn't work right...· so at the end of your text message hit F9, which sends the right code
My plans are to develop in two directions... the "executive PropPhone" and the field PropPhone...
the difference being that the executive version will retain interactive skills... the field PropPhone
will be fully· automatic... sending text and email by predefined protocols of sensor values and
pictures.
For a microphone... I got a powered minimike from Radioshack...ran it into the auxillary input of a
small speaker and took the headphone connect back· to mic_mt+ pin on the module.
for ears I just ran the ear_mt+ out to an amplified speaker... works for me, but I plan to do more on
this.
I am experimenting with ringtones... right now I have Chip's singingdemo singing "Laughing, laughing,
laughing[noparse]:)[/noparse]"
I·love my Propeller (ILMP)

I assume you are using two of these modules for end-to-end communication?
Or just voice to a standard phone?
Make it use a standard keyboard (parallax ps2) for text messages and you'll be
able to sell a bunch of them to the old farts. (I'm starting to feel like one when
I try to "text" from a cell phone.) [noparse]:)[/noparse]

New to the Propeller?
Check out: Protoboard Introduction , Propeller Cookbook 1.4 & Software Index
Updates to the Cookbook are now posted to: Propeller.warrantyvoid.us
Got an SD card connected? - PropDOS
In the future, it will make sense to have two ProPPhones talking intelligently.
I mentioned before that I would post an automated cell/e-mail solution so that sensor data can get out of the phone world and into the computer world...that's my next step and it is almost done[noparse]:)[/noparse]
After that I'm going to add a stereo camera on the field end and a 3D display on the executive end. That way ProPPhone geeks don't have to take grief from the iPhone geeks[noparse]:)[/noparse]
For the 3D display I'm going to use an old video projector... so it will be a natural to turn the executive end into a crude desk-top 3D scanner as well. We are shooting for pure tech envy here[noparse]:)[/noparse]... no kidding...
Cameras... I need cameras... Phil!!!!... Hanno!!!! Brian!!!!

What is the part number of the RadioShack powered mic?
Do you have a schematic so anyone can build one?
What is the best data throughput you have gotten on it??
Thanks,
Doug
the speaker is an altec lansing bx1120... got it at walmart a while ago.
I tried various combinations of other parts and bits and was treated to fabulous ground loops and echo-faction. This works reasonably well.
For sound out of the module, I have a straight thru to an old Sony GV-D900 ... a miniDV recorder. Everything shares a common ground... which for me was the scariest part[noparse]:)[/noparse]

Just wanted to bump the thread a little and show a little progress.
The new code isn't ready for prime time.
The picture reflects some of the new changes...
The ProPPhone will be using PropDos resident on the EEProm. This will allow for a regular menu system... and eventually a GUI.
Future posts will be configured for PropBoard1 by Phildapil... so if you are going to follow along and not have to change pin assignments in the future, you will need to have a PropBoard1.
