hi, i've been working with my cellphone and it works great in hyperterminal.

i'm making a project and i need the BS2p to make the phone·send and message with the info it takes from another device, but i don't· know how to make the connection, the thing is i have to install drivers in the computer for the phone to work, so how do a make the cell's modem work with the stamp.

Does anybody know how to make this work ?

i have a motorola U6 with usb connection a BS2p and a professional development board.

any idea ?

    The stamp and the PDB do not have the capability to be host usb devices which is what you need to talk to your phone.

    Actually, you might be able to use one of the USB to serial devices from parallax/FTDI. I have one, talks to USB sticks pretty good, I don't see why you couldn't send commands to another USB device connected to it. ( just need to know the commands for that device)

    Or get a cheap pay as you go phone, tear it apart and wire a multiplexer to the keypad. Then you could "press" whatever keys you wanted, and the multiplexer would use just a few pins on the stamp.

    Thats always been my plan, I just cant justify the monthly cost, if only the minutes didnt expire.
