Hey Community, Has anyone connected EZ-B using text messaging. I have a project where I need to send commands to and from the robot using SMS. Was wondering if there is already something out there before I start. Move servo. MMS a photo back to phone etc. I figured I could probably use twillio IFTTT etc
Scenario is No Internet EZ-B is out of WIFI Bluetooth range etc and I need to send receive to a robot where the only telecommunications is SMS. Maybe attach a phone or Pi on robot etc
Hey,
Long time ago (before the 2G) I used a few Siemens M20 (Serial Modem) http://www.oppermann-telekom.de/siemens-m20.html
This seems a good alternative: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3147
You'll need to validate the sim card/sms services with a Telco Provider.
Hey thanks PTP I poked around my box of stuff and found an old multitech board from a car GPS project I put together a few years and it has SMS HSPA and a twillio sim
Dev Board https://www.multitech.com/brands/mdot-devkit Modem https://www.multitech.com/brands/multiconnect-dragonfly
Has a compiler https://os.mbed.com/handbook/mbed-Compiler So I think I have all the pieces I need. I guess I can use TX RX out to talk to EZ-B or maybe hack DJ arduino code and try and port it over.
If this fails I will try your Adafruit option.
