Software and firmware for TiDiGino (GSM remote controller with Arduino)

A lot of people who bought the TiDiGino ask me how to test it.
The Gsm Remote Control is provided with bootloader, so you have to insert the prefered sketch that you can find in code.google.
Daniele Denaro wrote a good sketch for TiDiGino, and I’m reporting his tutorial.
Ask me (and him) all do you need.

Be careful, because you …

TiDiGino, the Arduino-based GSM remote control

 
Using an ATmega 2560 and therefore the heart of Arduino, we have developed a universal remote control with GSM. This allows  to control 2IN/2OUT, DTMF key, gate control and GSM thermostat activated remotely.

We have already presented several remote control with different functions.
But now we want to present the best remote control ever made with Arduino.
The remote control is easier, thanks …

TiDiGino Contest

 

 The Contest is close, visit the TiDiGino page
The project TiDiGino
We developed a new GSM remote control called TiDiGino. The name recalls the initials (TDGxx) of our previous GSM remote control and is also based on the Arduino project. All the details of this circuit can be found below, but no the sketch, because this is your assignment.

The contestYou have to write the firmware for this project.  The device must perform all the functions …

GSM Remote Control – Gate Control <br /> Part 1 – Introduction

Now we can start describing our first application, that is, the GSM gate controller: in this modality, our system controls the relay it is equipped with whenever it receives a call from a telephone number belonging to a list of numbers previously acquired through a special procedure, which can be performed via SMS using a telephone number which has been …

GSM Remote Control – Gate Control <br /> Part 2 – Schematic

The entire remote control is handled by a PIC that controls the GSM/GPRS module’s activity and gives commands to the two relays.
Having said that, let’s take a better look at the electric scheme: power is supplied by continuous voltage, not always stabilized (applied to PWR + and -) at a value between 5 and 32V; such voltage is filtered at …

GSM Remote Control – Gate Control <br /> Part 3 – Assembly

Up to 200 numbers can be stored and enabled to control the relay, which allows people to use the gate opener not only in big condos and residences, but also in companies and all those other contexts in which many users are likely to need to have access. In order to avoid using SMSs, which are not the best method …

GSM Remote Control – Gate Control <br /> Part 4 – SMS Command

Commands and settings can be sent by any cell phone via SMSs, as long as the message in question contains a password. Some of the commands can be composed without the use of a password (just so that they can be composed faster), provided that they are sent from one of the first eight numbers stored inside the gate opener. …
