Hello, I'm getting frustrated right now. I've been deubbging my code for many hours. Yesterday I've spent my almost 10 hours knowing what is wrong with my board.
So here is my story:
I have a sanguino board(644p) and I bought this LED MATRIX DRIVER board from an electronics shop here in my area and a LED MATRIX board with drivers. And fortunately it has a sample codes. I uploaded it, it is 100% working.
Next is I have a gsm module, yesterday I was searching for a sample sketch in receiving sms (sample from the IDE doesn't work on my sanguino) for many hours and fortunately again I stumbled across one blog that uses a GSM shield library not similar to the arduino GSM library. I uploaded it and it works!
So I am very near to my goal: sending a text to the arduino/sanguino and output it to led matrix.
I have built several projects using my technique XD (combining two different sketches). Like using my android program to send a message and output it on led matrix. Using bluetooth to output any string from my laptop to LCD and many more...
Argggggggg. I feel that I want to burn all my electronics stuffs. I can't find what the hell is wrong with my codes.
First, again, I uploaded the receiving sms to my board. Opened a Serial Monitor to check if I am really receiving a message. and the text from my cellphone to arduino/sanguino is displaying on serial monitor. Anyway, my whole codes is displayed below.
My theory is that the microcontroller outputs very fast and it couldn't receive or read any text messages. When I put a larger delay, say 100 in the loop, below shift(); the text message works and outputs to led matrix, but the scrolluing is soooooo slow. I hope anyone would help me to solve my mystery.
