Development board with GSM module and PIC18F67J50

Excellent card. It has been tested in different situations and responds to all requests without ever failing. PIC GSm always remain the simple solution for any reality. This card is equipped with a GSM cell phone which can send or receive commands with its dedicated software. Excellent card for more than 10 years are still active in our plants without any issue.

The purpose of this board is to allow the development of remote control applications. Using PIC-GSM you can easily monitor and control your home from everywhere with your GSM cell phone. You can switch on and off relays remotely by SMS. You can monitor the status of your GPIOs or toggle them. You can establish a call to the GSM module and speak or listen on the audio channel of the board. You can monitor the temperature from several digital remote temperature sensors. The build-in GSM module has an on-board antenna and it allows you to use it as a GSM or a GPRS meaning that you can also use this module as a GPRS modem connected to your computer. A panic button and alarm inputs can dial your phone or send you a SMS message to report for an alarm.

Hardware

• PIC-GSM schematic
• PIC ICSP connector

Software

• PIC-GSM example software with Microchip TCP/IP stack 5.42 for MPLAB 8.xx and MPLAB X
• PIC-GSM open source remote control software with Microchip TCP/IP stack 5.00
• There is a known issue with C18 V3.37.01 & TCIP/IP V5.31 (or TCIP/IP V5.00). The fastest workaround is to use the previous C18 (v3.34) until the next C18 version is released. Another work around is to use this p18f67j60.h instead of the one provided by the newer compilers
