In certain applications, systems based on microcontrollers must be connected to the GSM network, which will allow a user to control the system by sending messages or making a call. The advantage of using GSM communication with a system or device is that the user can control the system wirelessly no matter how long it is maintained compared to any other wireless communication provided that both the user and the device are in a cellular coverage area .
Mobile phones have built in GSM modules which then be used by the processor inside the phone to make a call, send or receive messages or even connect to the GPRS network. When it comes to a system based on a microcontroller a separate GSM module is used instead of using a cell phone as such. There are GSM modules available that can do serial communication with systems based on microcontrollers. Communication is done by sending or receiving AT commands with the GSM module. This particular project demonstrates how to interconnect a GSM module and read and display SMS on the 16 * 2 LCD.
Any board based on AVR microcontrollers that follows the standard Arduino schematic and is shown with the Arduino boot loader can be called an Arduino board. The Arduino is known as open source hardware and the Arduino IDE is also open source and anyone can contribute their libraries to the Arduino. All arduino boards must be compatible with the Arduino IDE that can be used to program Arduino boards.
