Nokias & data cables

[djadz]

Hi all! just registered to this forum. looks very interesting!
I have a question, maybe some of you folk could help me out:

I need to control either a nokia 3210 or 7210 using a datacable
and a computer. By controlling it i mean, remotely 'using' it to send
SMS messages, make phone calls, recieve phone calls and hang up etc. Is this possible? what technologies do i need to perform such an operation?

Thanks.

You can use programs to send SMS via your phone but as far as I know not to make and recieve calls!

With oxygen phone manager you can use it to dial another number, but you have to speak to the other person in the normal way.

cool. so it is possible then! now, what if i was to replace the computer with an electronic box? say the likes of a PIC chip... where, does anyone know, could i find specifications on communication with nokias, commands etc, via the data cable?

First of all you'll need a UART hooked to your microcontroller to communicate with the phone!

The 16F628 has UART built in I believe so you could connect to the phone (with a few adjustments)

You may find some useful info HERE (http://www.panuworld.net/nuukiaworld/hardware/index.htm) or this one has some pic and mbus protocol information HERE (http://www.atrox.at/datacable/index.html)
