Remote Process Control using a Mobile Phone (2)
Remote Process Control using a Mobile Phone (2)
The SMS Chip checks incoming text for a password, switches outputs interactively or at preset times, controls an LCD and sends status information back to any mobile phone.In the first part of this article we looked at the circuit design and hardware for this project and now we turn our attention to the PCB layout, the software and the text message structure.A look at the component placement diagram in Figure 1 shows that you will not need any special soldering skills to complete the circuit board. No wire links are required and all the ICs (except the voltage regulator) are fitted into sockets. All external connections are made via pinheaders or connectors mounted around the edge of the PCB. The LED arrays D1 and D2 can be replaced by groups of eight individual LEDs but if you use high-efficiency types it will be necessary to substitute 1 k? or 1.5 k? resistor networks for R1 and R2. In all cases it will still be necessary to use the ACT type buffer specified in the parts list for IC3 and IC4.
