GSM Remote Control – Gate Control
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 when storing many phone numbers in that they entail spending money (SMSs are expensive…) and using a small and impractical cell phone’s keyboard, we have devised a software program to be used on a PC, to which one can connect the circuit by adding a TTL/USB converter module on a special serial interface connector.
On this page, you will find the assembling directions along with the list of the components necessary to create a gate opener using the same printed board used to build the entire remote control; as you can see, the printed circuit is less “populated” than before, as many of the scheme components appearing in our previous issue are no longer necessary. As a matter of fact, in order to create the gate opener function, all you need is a microcontroller and its surrounding components, in addition to a small board with the GSM module and its antenna, a relay, a terminal board to connect all the contacts, the LEDs and power plug. In the list of components found on this page, those components that need not be assembled are marked with a dash.

For PC programming, and in order to take advantage of the relative software, you can use   the TTL/USB converter module shown already assembled in the picture, in a special four-pole pin-strip, at the top, to the left of the small GSM board.
