Hi,
I am currently doing a 10 week project which involves creating a package which will allow a lecturer to transmit an SMS via GSm modem to a group of students. I am working on the development on my VISTA laptop using code::blocks 8.02 to edit and compile in C.
I'm at the stage where I just want to write a simple (ha) program to send a text message to the modem for transmission. I want to use the AT commands that are standard and send them out over my serial port to the modem along with the sms text.
My problem is my mind is boggled with all the info I've found, I can't see much on using AT commands in C but I've found loads on serial port comms using "outport" command but then I've found contradictory stuff saying this is all old hat nowadays. My C is begginer at best so if anyone knows of the commands and structure I should be looking at to acheive this I'd be greatful for the helping hand.
