GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) technology lets user to communicate with others across mobile networks hence it offers a vast area of coverage.Interfacing GSM technology with microcontroller will enable us to extend the communication to cover large area.This tutorial will teach you about interfacing GSM module with atmega32 AVR microcontroller and program it to communicate it with another user.
GSM MODEM:
GSM modem is nothing but a special hardware that modulates and demodulates GSM signals.There are plenty of GSM modems specially designed for interfacing and working with Microcontroller, you can find it online.We are using GSM SIM900A model in this tutorial to explain the interfacing.
PARTS REQUIRED:
We have added "Buy here" links in the below table to buy the listed components with ease.Since we are a sales partner of Amazon you could do a favor by buying parts from below link and this will earn some referral fee for us.By this way you could be a indirect contributor to our site.
These are the set of commands that are predefined in order to establish a communication between controller and modem.Also with the help of these commands a SMS or call has been made out.Take a look at the "Commands used in a GSM modem" for detailed description about it.
DESIGN:
STEPS TO INTERFACE GSM MODEM WITH MICROCONTROLLER:
STEP 1: MODEM TESTING:
The Modem consists of two indicating LED's Green and Red to indicate the availability of the network.Green indicates the availability of the network whereas red indicates its absence.Turn the modem ON and wait for sometime to register itself in GSM network.
The Communication between AVR and modem takes place through USART protocol.GSM Modem SIM900 works on TTL level hence we can interface directly to RXD and TXD pins of AVR microcontroller.There is no need of using Voltage or level converter between them.However if you ever happen to buy a SIM300 or other module which operates above TTL level, you may want to use MAX232 level converter IC to make the communication possible.
STEP 3: INITIALIZING MODEM:
The modem must be Initialized using the commands and then the process you are about to carry out must be selected.In this tutorial am going to initialize the modem and them make it to send a message "Hi Murugan" to my mobile using the GSM modem.And then i will reply to the message which will be displayed in the LCD interfaced to the microcontroller.

NOTE:
You may want to add up MAX232 IC if your modem output is above TTL logic level.
You also want to alter the commands fed to modem based on your requirements.
bonjour! j'ai un module GSM sim900A et un atmega32.j'aimerai pouvoir interfacer les deux afin de pouvoir appeler mon numéro.mais je ne sais pas comment m'y prendre.je sollicite votre aide merci d'avance. cordialement Jordan
I need to interface SIM900 GSM module with atmega32 in order to send a text message and get a reply from the phone in the other end.So can i go with the same code which you have given here?if not what sort of changes do i need to apply for the above code?
I don't think so.You should check for the pins in Atmega8 first.Then based on that you should rewrite a portion of the code like usage of ports for interfacing LCD module and UART configuration of TX and RX.But the overall code logic and structure will remain the same.
Bro can you please send this code with library to my mailbrijeshpratap716@gmail.com Because it's showing error of library when I copied it Thank you so much in advance
this comparison is nothing else like checking string end in variable as far as I know numerically it is 0 so try to compare to 0 instead of "(empty char)
another idea is to compare it to char 0 by using ‘#0'
last idea is to check string length and compare z counter to that number
while compiling i got these errors. "empty character constant empty character constant empty character constant empty character constant empty character constant recipe for target ‘main.o'failed" can you correct it please?

Kali,
The above given code should work for your requirement.Kindly try using and let me know how it came out
for(z=0;cmd1[z]!='?????';z++)
???= error help me?
Carlson,
What's the error message?
use
cmd1[z] != ‘\0'
Which editor did u use
AVR studio
Hi this code can be use to atmega 8-pu?Or there are codes to be replace or edit?It is possible to use this code directly without editing?Thanks

Hi, I am using sim900A, Atmega32 with Atmel studio7.I have received Build succeed.but no message received.please assist.thanks indeed!!

Thank you so much in advance
Mr.shayan , can you send me the code for atmega32 with sim900A for my emailinfo.danielxcd@gmail.com
Thankyou !
infinite loops without timeout are not so good.when something goes wrong, program will hang up forever
implement timeouts.
how to interface ATmega 128 with GSM simm900??
while compiling i got these errors.
"empty character constant
recipe for target ‘main.o'failed"
can you correct it please?
in line 33 40 47 53 (ie in for loops of send sms)
Hari,
Not sure about this error, after going through forums it seems like this error is associated with Atmel AVR Studio check this forum outhttp://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/recipe-target-maino-failed-atmel-studio-7

as far as I know numerically it is 0
so try to compare to 0 instead of "(empty char)

Rifky,
In which lines you are getting these errors?
use ‘\\0' instead of ‘ ‘
